Forgot to add, might be able to do it free if someone finds you an unlock code which works.

i wasn't suggesting you google it, only that one of us useful nerds could do it and save you a few quid.

Do you not want to say the model cos you found it at Wycombe? :D

You can always phone up the network and pay for a code that way. Will cost £20 at least but more if it's a snazzy phone.

There are a few independent phone accessories stores which do it. Think the one next to Liquid were advertising it when I walked past the other day.

Google suggests:

If your Tocco is network locked to O2 or Vodafone and you wish to unlock it for use with a different provider, It can be unlocked by entering the following codes using the dialpad:

#7465625*638*00000000*00000000#

then:

#7465625*638*00000000#

Confirmation should be displayed onscreen after each code is entered. That's all there is to it!

That's for a Tocco, not a Tocco lite (I've been looking too). There wasn't anything to suggest it did/didn't work so no harm in trying mind*

*unless it totally fucks the phone ;)

Hi

Tans's brother here. I work for Vodafone, if you send me the IMEI number Ill get the unlocking code for you tomorrow. It should cost £20 but as we are all red army I wont charge for it...

Go for it. You've got nothing to lose by giving someone the IMEI of your phone.

Apart from the fact they could permanently lock the phone, rendering it completely useless :)

I think you mean the SIM.

I thought the networks could block on IMEIs? Isn't that how they deal with stolen handsets?


Title: Re: Phone unlocking
Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, April 29, 2010, 10:21:10
An IMEI number is a SIM card serial number, as far as I know (and I'm not an expert on this) it has no bearing on the handset whatsoever.

That said I believe there is a alternative method of blockinh handsets.


Title: Re: Phone unlocking
Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, April 29, 2010, 10:33:23
IMEI = International Mobile Equipment Identifier and is nothing to do with the sim.

Theoretically other Tans, if he acquired the IMEI of Fred's phone, could blacklist the IMEI from the networks.


Title: Re: Phone unlocking
Post by: Spy on Thursday, April 29, 2010, 10:56:02
Yeah IMEI is used to identify the handset. The sim number is just called the sim number and is the long one on the sim starting 8944 (I have to deal with this at work).

You can't lock someones sim with their IMEI number. You could probably lock the handset I suppose, if for example it was an O2 contract handset and you worked for O2.

Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, April 29, 2010, 10:57:22
The clue is in the fact that the IMEI is printed on the handset too John ;)


Title: Re: Phone unlocking
Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, April 29, 2010, 11:51:27
I have given him the imei. The question mark was the fact that I have not heard anything back from him
