I always get mine done near the castle markets in town.

I had a few quotes recently ... the best price I had was a shop at the end of Elm Lane near the Netto in Sheffield 5 (sorry cant remember name!)

There's plenty of places suggested in the umpteen other threads about phone unlocking. They also give advice on certain shops where you should definitely NOT go.

 

As for price, it depends on what phone/ phone model you have. Some places charge more for certain newer phones as the unlock codes are, apparently more difficult to get hold of. Generally it can be as low as a fiver, or as much as twenty quid (depending on the phone and where you go.)

 

There's a place called "Crown Computers" on Condon Road, near Highfield Library, who advertise unlocking for as little as a fiver. I had a nokia 6600 unlocked by them, and it's been fine. (the best and most reliable place was Marketman's stall in the castle market. he was very trustworthy and inexpensive, but sadly he's not doing phones any more. .

did you try to give this away or get it from freecycle??

[tia1803 10]

does it make a difference??

and if i was giving it away...would i be asking about unblocking?

[Pseudonym 10]

Phones can only be unblocked by changing the IMEI (identification code) and that is now strictly illegal and carries a heavy penalty!

[tia1803 10]

so its not possible to do then if its been blocked and not locked?

[tia1803 10]

does it change the cost?
