I'm in the UK and i need to unlock my phone to any network. Please could someone tell me where to get software to do this or even better how to do this.

welcome to Esato

if you want to do it yourself then everything you need to know is at www.davinciteam.com

we have many many threads about unlocking using their service so please have a good read around

Thanks I'll have a proper look when i get home cos don't think work would be too pleased if i started downloading software!

Is it pretty easy to use and is there a chance it will knacker my phone?

Regards

it works fine. I have done a few phones now already.

you need to buy an unlocking cable though as the supplied cable in the box with the phone can't do unlocking. davinci have the cable for sale too

another place to look btw is www.mobilefun.com as they have the cable and the unlock service

Cheers. Think i might just get it done by a shop its only a £10 and cable prob costs that much anyway.

Thanks a lot for your help

if you're only planning to unlock the one phone then that is probably the best and cheapest option

you can probably get it even cheaper at your local market
