Hi,

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Sony-Ericsson, so I apologise if this is a dumb question. I have had a quick search around the forum to see if this question has been answered before, but to no avail.

I recently bought a Z600 from E-bay - it's locked to T-Mobile. I also have bought a DCU-11 USB cable, thinking I'd be able to unlock the phone myself. Is this possible? I went to the local "Unlock shop" (Market Stall), but the bloke didn't have new enough software to unlock this type of phone (he tried the T610 unlocker but it didn't work).

What should my next course of action be? Should I go into Leeds and find somewhere else that does it, or is there a simple program I can download? Do I need a different type of cable? Ideally, I'd just like somewhere where I can get the NCK from so I can just unlock it via the keypad, but I'm not sure if this is feasible.

Any help much appreciated,
Matt

- the DCU cable cannot be used to unlock your phone, or any phone

- the DIV USB cable appears to be able to do that. Cable is about USD 30 on eBay. Software is "free".

Yeah thanks, I got it done at Leeds Market for a tenner. My next query is whether I can use my PCI Wireless Network card as a bluetooth device... I'm sure it should be possible!
