Sorry if this post is in wrong section. I am new to this site.

I live in the US and recently just bought a K800i from Ebay that is locked to 3G, UK network. Can anyone tell me how I can get the phone unlocked so I can use it with GSM networks in the US. Thanks

You'll need to get the network unlock code from 3/Three themselves. So you're going to have to call them from the US (which will cost a fair bit) and explain the situation. Don't expect it to come cheap either!

And they might make a stink about it, too.

@shell111405,
By the time you pay the international call charges to speak to them which will definitely be a long call, plus if they do it they will charge from my understanding from others between £20-£50 it may be cheaper buying a new phone sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Can't he use Wotan to unlock it?
*edited on a Mac of course. Mac: There is no substitute*

N82(YES), iPhone 3G, Shure es530, Nikon D300, more stuff. No more SE stuff, why am I still here?

Currently, only themselves or service providers can unlock the DB2020 phones(K800 onwards), although many third parties are working on it, for obvious reason$......

....there is a rumour that ONE team has done so; not substantiated yet tho'....
