I have an M5000 and would like to unlock it so that I can use my O2 sim - any ideas?

Thanks.

Just as a matter of interest, have you tried the O2 sim as they don't lock the phones on O2 - maybe orange don't either...

d'oh......my orange SPV M5000 is locked. it says check simlock status and there is a textbox for unlock.

called orange today, they are charging me 20 pounds for unlock :)

they unlocked my C500 for free last year !!!!!! dont know why they want 20 quid this time, argh.... and they say its going to take up to 16 days to arrive. Im travelling overseas next week, that was the whole point of me wanting an unlock. i sure hope its one of those situations where they say 16 days but it actually takes 2.

To be honest with you, that doesn't sound too unreasonable (the price i mean) as usually they would want you to pay up the contract in full before giving you an unlock code and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you about the 16 days :)

just now had a very nice talk to florin from

www.imei-check.co.uk

and he claims he as the unlocking tool for the spv-m5000 at 50 gbp

only problem he will niot do it via web but only via send it to uk office and they will do it for you and send back to you at extra 10 gbp.

good luck to whom ever can send to him

At that price, you may as well pay orange for the code at 20gbp, those with 02 handsets aren't locked, t-mobile is 15 quid I think, and (most) people with other devices aren't in this country or have no need for it :S

I arranged for mine (with T-mobile) to be unlocked yesterday. It is £15 and can take upto 28 days to take effect. Incidentally I had to be 1 month into my contract in order for them to do the unlock (not sure id that is the same for upgrades though)

Great first post - advertising your own site for a service which, although wasn't available 6 months ago when this thread was started is now freely available. The information you charge for - is it just a link back to the information freely availlable on this site?

No need to shout, or send an email to anyone for that matter. Just go to buzzdev.net and get the tools required to unlock for yourself.
