u can use setool patchfile for ree unlock, if u have access to a box. only patchfile solutions are for free, but those arent the best, cos after fw upgrade or simple flash it will be locked again. ask around in your mobile shops in your near, who could make a direct unlcock for a good price.

in order to use customized ringtones, wallpaper, etc. you just need to debrand it, not unlock it. if you unlock it, you will be able to use your phone on every operator.
