W850 locked to Orange - Esato archive

Posted by vilde
Hi guys
I have a W850 which is locked to Orange. How do I get the code to unlock the phone from Orange. Is there a website where the code will be generated based on the IMEI or how do I proceed with this.

I searched for it on their webpage but found none information that I could utilize.

I don't think there is, there's only that for older Nokia models. I think the only way to unlock Sony Ericsson's free of charge is to patch unlock it.

I think you misunderstand me mate. 3 years after I bought I can now unlock for free. I need a code for that which will be provided by my operator, which in this case is Orange.

But do I need to call them to get the unlock code?

Yes, you'll have to call them, and even then it's not straight forward.
