Unlock codes
Many
GSM mobile phones are sold "locked"
to a specific network or networks. Most often it is Pay As You Go
phones that are locked, but sometimes Pay Monthly mobiles are locked
too. It is possible to obtain unlock codes for mobile phones so that
they can be used with a sim card from another network. The phone networks
will do this for you (at a price!), but you can do it cheaper online
using an phone unlocking service, or you can buy a special unlocking
clip or unlocking software. Once your phone has been unlocked, you
can then use it with any network, provided that you have a valid SIM
card.
The
easiest way to unlock your phone is by obtaining an unlock code
that you can then enter into your mobile yourself. There are a number
of companies offering unlock codes for mobile phones on the web,
and they are quite a lot cheaper than going to your dealer or network,
provided that you have a compatible phone.
The
way it works is like this: you need to find out the 15-digit IMEI
number on your mobile (type *#06# into your phone to do this. NOTE
- CODES ENTERED AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR
DAMAGE TO PHONES.) You then supply this number to the unlocking
company, and they will give you a code that you can enter into your
phone to unlock it. Some companies will do this by email or over
the phone, which is more convenient than having to wait for the
unlock code in the post.
Data cables
& software
If your
phone is not compatible with a remote unlocking service, it may be
possible to calculate a code using a data cable and some special software.
This method works with most Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic,
Siemens and Samsung GSM cell phones. You can buy a data cable and
unlock software online.
Unlock clips,
cables & software
You can
also buy unlock clips that generate unclock codes for mobile phones
via a connecting cable. The software in the clip will automatically
unlock your phone. The benefit of using an unlocking clip is that
you can use it to unlock as many phones as you like!
