Are N73's able to be unlocked?

If not, why is this?

they can be unlocked by servcie provider (or some people can get the codes and charge £50 ish depending on n/work) they cant be done by free codes as nokia have changed the way they are locked and nobody has cracked it

Do you think it will be long before someone does crack them?

You will have to go to 3 and ask them to provide the unlocking code, but they will charge you for it.

If it is one of the N73's, they wont unlock it until you are out of contract.

There is a place in the Eagle Market in Derby that unlocks phones, pop in there next time you are in town and see if he can do it, he charges £10-£15 depending on which phone it is

he wont be able to do it either, only way is by access to the code database and the charge would be £50 for 3uk
