Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / July 2008unlocking fee
I have been told that there is a fee of £15 to unlock a phone. Is this expensive? Thanks In message 85f2040b-a389-4934-8dac-ac28b0b5bd2f@w1g2000prk.googlegroups.com, species8350 <not_here.5.species8350@xoxy.net> Proclaimed from the tallest tower: > I have been told that there is a fee of £15 to unlock a phone.

For phones that need to be unlocked by an 'expert' at a phone shop/market stall, I'd say £15 is at the upper end of acceptable prices. Shop around a bit, you might get it for a few quid less...

I called a local shop that does unlocking, and they quoted me £20 (Nokia 6300), and couldn't do my N82 (nor could the local 'Nokia' shop!). I'd rather pay Orange directly. I managed to de-brand all my phones myself. R >>> I have been told that there is a fee of £15 to unlock a phone. Is this >>> expensive?

Steve Terry Update: Virgin Charge £15 for an unlock code now.

No reason to expect it to be any different for a phone. There was a slight delay.because they had to obtain the code from the manufacturer.
