Guest skygod Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 Help! I'm trying to unlock my phone so that it will accept any phone network. My phone has bootloader v.099 and other details are: Rom Operator: 1.3.7.8 Manufacturer: 1.3.7.8 Microsoft v.3.0 build13037 Philippine purchased July 25th I already tried using the spv unlock program but after retrieving 66%, a message says "invalid code - aborting". Can any of you guys give me a hand? Thanks a bunch! :cry:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 You need bootloader V.098 and below to get your unlock code you can get the first UK update that has the V.98 from www.monolithix.org Remember if you do run the update it is at your own risk as each counties update will be designed for that country only.
Guest squall Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 anyone ever actually asked orange how much they want for unlocking phones?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 The remainder of your contract plus about £20 (for the actual unlocking)
Guest squall Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 do you know if you have to terminate your contract? im going to be paying off my contract to the end of the year soon anyway so i might give them a phone and ask.... cheers
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 When it was discussed back in December, it was said that you did have to pay your contract up in advance possibly because as far as Orange is concerned the only reason to SIM unlock is to use the competition's service so why continue the contract with them. Let us know what they say if you do ask them.
Guest squall Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 Spoke to 'O' they say it doesnt effect your contract but cost £20, well worth it IMHO.
