just wondering if anyone has used the phone unlocking shop in meadowhall interchange, the one that's upstairs next to the newsagents. don't even know if the shop is still there as i haven't been to that end for a very long time.

anyone know how much they charge roughly for unlocking phones on t-mobile?

do you know if vodafone will work in a t-mobile phone. it's 30 pounds more in carphone warehouse for the same phone.

There's a very good little phone shop on Abbeydale Rd close to the junction with Wolsey Rd that unlocks them.
Carphone Warehouse are rubbish. Their cheapest phone is £25 and locked on to Virgin. When I asked them if they could unlock it they said no, take it to a market trader.
It's like buying a safe and being told to take it to a burglar to get it open.

Try Zarelli, bottom of Pinstone St just before the Heart Foundation charity shop.

Virgin used to unlock their own phones at no cost, once you'd topped up £20. Check the wbsite - probably well hidden though.

I managed to unlock fmine myself for free using codes I found through a link on money saving expert.

I spend several months each year abroard and I don't need to have my phone unlocked. All I do is just buy a SIM card each time I go to a different country and it works like a peach every time.

of course, if you go to any of these phone shops and ask the bozo behind the counter whether you need your phone unlocked in order to get service in say Thailand, they'll say that you do. But at least in the countries I go to, I know 100% that you don't, having done it at least 20 times in 5 years.
