> SP unlocking a P800? (UK)
Bookmark topic
Ok folks, i've searched and i've searched - not found an answer yet, so here's hoping you can help me.
I've got a P800 reserved in each of three Orange retail shops throughout london for tommorrows delivery, (though i'll probably only be getting the one, depends on a few things.)
Anyhow, i need to be able to use it with my O2 contract too, and thus need to get the Orange SP lock removed sharpish - how's it done? I'm used to nokias, so have always unlocked my own, (pre DCT-4), and now use IMEI calculators/have others do it for me.
Are there people with IMEI calcs. for SE handsets? Any reputable ones, charging £20 or less?
Orange charge £20 to unlock, which i've no problem paying, but they may want the 12months line rental in advance - which i'm not prepared to give them. I may well change tariffs in the future, etc, and simply don't want them hogging my money like that.
Can any of the traders on Tottenham Court Road do it? Anyone with any experience of them unlocking a P800? I don't really want to be the first, and find out too late that they really don't know what they're doing.
HELP!

Hm... I have not seen/heard about simlocked p800 yet! If there is any problem check www.unlocking.com they should do it by IMEI. Best Regards! Peter

I was down tottenham court road about 4 months ago looking for a duo and just about every shop i went into asked me if i wanted to unlock my p800. I think they were asking about a tenner for it. didn't get it done though as i'm quite happy on orange.

I managed to unlock my Organge P800.
I had to buy a special T28 data cable, available from eBay for about £5 / £6. Then I had to contact a company that provided remote unlocking; I used ->

BUT you can only use a Win98 machine - don't use XP!
I had to use this remote unlocking solution as I could not find a local supplier in my area. I suggest you email the company you decide to use for remote unlocking and get detailed instructions. I have heard it is possible to damage your P800 in some circumstances.

www.globalmob.com has the unlocking logs for the p800. This software does not need to be run on win98.

yeah notice the date of the original thread here - in February me and simon_levi were struggling to find anyone who would unlock it, but it's easy as pie now.

hi, i was wondering cant you just use the P800 USB cradle to unlock the phone or do you have to purchase a t28 serial cable?
thanks in advance
