Well you would accept that you could unlock them with a computer. but that this is not exactly pushing the computer to its limits.

they just do what the computer would do.

they work.

They use something called a pic chip, which basically stores a small program which unlocks the phone.

If you have electronics experience, many of the older versions of the code (aka hex file) to unlock phones such as the Samsung A300, are now free. So if you have some breadboard and you can buy a pic programmer for about £20 and a few chips for £2 - £3 each and have a go yourself.
