Some networks around the world
lock their phones so that users are unable to use a SIM card from a rival
network. It is not illegal to unlock your phone, and depending on your network
provider, it may involve a fee. For those using a Nokia E72 on Three or
Vodafone, you can unlock your phone by calling up customer service. The best
reason to give for unlocking when they ask is that you are going overseas. They
will then:
1. Ask
for your IMEI number by asking you to type in *#06#2. They
give you a code that looks something like #pw+23489729429834+1#3. The phone will say "sim
card restriction off"
If you are not with one of these network providers, there are websites which allow you to unlock your phone for a small fee. With some plans that networks lock you into, the fee is usually worth it. Just make sure you do not try unlocking more than three times.
