Unlocking mobile
Has anyone unlocked their own phone via unlock codes or is it best to play safe by going to Pc cellular (only shop that does it that's open today) ???

Re: Unlocking mobile
I would say phone shop. At least you have some comeback if it fails.

Re: Unlocking mobile
i had a phone unlocked once and it stopped a lot of the functions on the phone working, i couldn't receive picture messages, it was originally on orange and i used it on o2, just ask before you have it done

Re: Unlocking mobile
Best advice learned by my hard way is make sure u get the right provider before getting your phone and make sure before u unlock phones that phone will run services your phone needs beforehand. Luckily not wasted money on new sim.

Re: Unlocking mobile
I've used SmartSIM before on a number of mobiles, you don't need to 'unlock' the phone, the film effectively confuses the phone as to what type of sim is installed. In my case a Orange locked phone was used on O2 and voda quite happily when trying just the sim showed it to be locked.
no risk of "bricking" the phone either... Link here DealExtreme: $3.96 i-SmartSim SIM Card Unlock Overlay Attachment for Nokia and Most Other Cell Phones (Yellow) |

Re: Unlocking mobile
The phone is now unlocked but apparently cos it's a BB I can't use another sim data plan as it doesn't work or operate properly for bbm.
