Not sure if anyone can help with this. I've got a Nokia phone on T-Mobile, but I want to use it with my Orange contract SIM. There's a USB cable in the box - can I unlock it using some clever freeware?

That Turkish guy in the bits'n bobs shop on the (any) high street will do it for a fiver.

You can do it online - all you'll need is the IMEI number then try somewhere like this website;

To get the IMEI number key #06# into your phone.

I took it to Tottenham Court Road, and one shop said that because it was new they would charge £25, and that there was only a 50% chance of it working. Crap.

Thanks for the tip, but I got it sorted four years ago!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
