Looking at one of these, and the best deal seems to be on Vodafone PAYG at the moment. Would want to use it on O2 though.

Anyone know if they're easy to unlock? One of the online services, for example.

Thanks,

Steve.

Should be OK with the usual places.

Hello Steve,

I would suggest you buy the following - Or find a person with one.

vodafone phone unlocking

There are loads on eBay:

BB5 TURBO SIM CARD UNLOCK NOKIA E65 N73 N95 6300 6500 on eBay, also Other Nokia Accessories, For Nokia, Mobile Phone Accessories, Mobile Home Phones (end time 10-Nov-08 23:48:41 GMT)

It's a really good product that does the job!

Oh please do take note - If you do sell it on or try to use it on other models.

("All Vodafone handsets are supported except the Nokia 6630 and 6680.")

Hope this helps,

Rob

BE VERY WARY OF ONLINE "UNLOCKING" SOLUTIONS!!!!

This phone is a complete pig to do - I have the slide version (but essentially the same) and every site I found that "claimed" to be able to unlock it actually couldn't....:thumbdwn: (Actually had to use paypal's dispute thing for a refund from one lot that made out they'd provide the code only to email a load of junk links instead )

In the end I had to pay orange £25 ish and provide them with the imei etc so they'd send me the code. Even places like phonefunshop (which I've used in the past with lots of success) couldn't do it unless I was prepared to send it to them and none of the shops local to me would touch it either.

Another note though, a well known high street shop with car in the title don't sell locked phones so you could just buy the phone from them on the cheapest payg deal and ditch the sim card - I've done this and also had the unlocked phones status confirmed by the sales staff

A bit suspicious anyway, with that user coming on what that as their first post too. Hmmm :rubchin:

I unlocked my 6500 classic myself, and then stuck on the latest (non-vodafone) firmware too :-). Have also done the same recently with 6210 Navigator (now for sale!) and my e66.
