help with motorola unlock code..

Hope this is not treading on any illegal stuff here - if it is just say!

I worked in thailand up until a year ago and had a Motorola M30 phone which i brought over there. Cost me £200 so I brought it back to the UK.
Now after a year I am getting round to setting it going and find that i need some kind of unlock code - it seems to want (from digging about on the net) a "subsidy lock code" from my Thia telecoms provider - AIS. This code seems to be an 8 digit number.
I have tried to get this but they say that they can't find an unlock code so I seem to be scuppered.
Are there legal remedies to my situation - ie getting it unlocked? As otherwise i can only use it as a door stop!

Technically not illegal, depends on the T&C's of AIS. You could find a small local phone shop as they can usually unlock various handsets by hooking the phone up to a computer.

Expect to pay around a tenner or more, but not more than 35 quid as that's what the UK networks charge!

are there any computer fairs in your area? if there are, take your phone along, and there'll probably a stall that'll sort u out.

Excellent - thanks for the advice..
How much for a sim card after that with connection?
My mrs has a phone via orange on Direct debit and that was 60 quid and no monthly so I was hoping for like 30 quid to get going - is that realistic?

Vigin probably still do a sim with £5 of calls and no line rental for £10 available from their shops.
