Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / December 2003Samsung C100 Unlocking ?
Can anyone tell me how this can be done, it's on Virgin, want it on O2! TIA > Can anyone tell me how this can be done, it's on Virgin, want it on O2! > TIA You can top up with a total of £30 in which case Virgin will give you the unlock codes if you ask. The only other way I found was to use an unlocking cable and some (free) unlocking software. Not sure if the exact cable is available: I modified a T100 cable.

Topup £30 with virgin, buy a data cable and locate software, take it to your friendly neighbourhood indie phone store/stall and pay avg. £10. > > Can anyone tell me how this can be done, it's on Virgin, want it on O2! > > TIA > > As the other chap said, you have three options.

I managed to get a T100 cable for £3 (they're £6 now from the same place) and some fiddling around with a soldering iron and the tiny contacts converted it into an unlocking cable. I might add that it isn't an ordinary data cable. You need a special cable that put the C100 into a test mode where it can be unlocked. I've seen various suggestions about how to do it. Some involve one cable to put it into test mode and another to unlock some just one single cable which is what I did.

Tried that, they couldn't do it. > Can anyone tell me how this can be done, it's on Virgin, want it on O2! > TIA Took mine to a local unlocking shop today, it cost me 15 quid. I know its a bit over the odds but I didnt want to arse about with cables and downloading software and was too impatient to send it away somewhere cheaper. cheers, simon > Can anyone tell me how this can be done, it's on Virgin, want it on O2! > TIA BTW Currys are doing the C100 for £69.99 on o2 pre-pay (saw this instore). > > Can anyone tell me how this can be done, it's on Virgin, want it on O2! > > TIA > > BTW Currys are doing the C100 for £69.99 on o2 pre-pay (saw this instore). And if you register it before tomorrow you can get £50 back! Thats a C100 for £20 > > > Can anyone tell me how this can be done, it's on Virgin, want it on O2! > > > TIA [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > And if you register it before tomorrow you can get £50 back! > Thats a C100 for £20 As long as you purchase the phone between 1st of November and 31st of January. It doesn't state when it has to be registered to claim your £50 cash back. Although the free £50 cashback offer finished on 23rd December.

I though the whole idea of all these C100's in circulation was because of the cashback. Not a bad second phone but not worth £70. |
