with orange uk, you have to ring up cust. services and request an unlock code.
i'm not sure how much they will charge, but it will probably be between £20-£30
K700i > K750i > K810i (current phone)

Just get it done down the local market stall for about £5 or buy a service cable and use SETool/SEMCTool (depending on CID)

Try saying you took on a temp job/assignment in a country where orange in no way operate, and that you have to use your employer's sim!!! I just got an almost brandnew voda Ireland phone unlocked free of charge (had only topped up by euro 10.00 in total  ) when I emailed them about my new job in Libya(I said I'd split my time between ireland and Libya...)! Usually they only unlock prepay phones once you spent euro 130.00!!!

if you had it for a while you can call them and tell them that you are leaving the country for a business trip...they did not charge my friend when he did that. |

Orange will charge £15 for an unlock code, and they stated when I last did it for a W850i it would take 10 days - and it actually arrived the next day!
Though you could probably get it done cheaper going to your local phone shop or market stall and they should do it for £10, or PM someone like Gregface, who might do it for a couple of quid cheaper
