    Normally take them to shop in wombwell and pay a tenner, but shop got their equipment nicked and he says he can't do it.

    Has anyone used any of these onlines sites where you can pay £2-5 for a code if you give them your IMEI number, and can anyone recommend one.

    Alternatively is there anywhere within walking distance of Oakwell that does it, so i can call in on way to match tomorrow

    Thanks

    I've been told...

    if the phone is out of contract with the network it is locked to (and therefore can be legally unlocked) the network will give you the unlocking code. Give em a call and find out.

    there's a place on sheff road. Called 'unlock a phone'! or something similiar. Just a bit further down than Outpost.

    I had a Sony done a year or so ago, took 5 mins and £5.

    V Good.

    Also sell PAYG sims and are open sat I think!

    The place on Sheffield Road did mine in 2 minutes for a fiver. This was after I tried to do it online and it didn't work. Got a refund from them but took loads of messing about.
