So I got a new phone but its on Orange and im on o2.
Theres a shop near me that unlocks phones but their prices have gone way up and they now charge £25 to do it 
Ive been googling and found various sites that claim to be able to send you the unlocking codes etc... but can I trust these sites?
Any ideas? |

ye if u chose to unlock ur phone any way,
even from a shop
u lose ur warranty
just a chance u gotta take
there are sometimes ways to undo it if something goes wrong but its really a risk u gotta take,
is there any reason u cant just move ur number over to the new network? |

unlocking your pohone is really easy
Its kinda hard to find one that'll mess your phone up. But if you like, later on after work i can get the OH to find the website he used to unlock my phone?  |

| all depends on what kinda phone you have, some phones (nokia i think) u just need to put ur imei and sp on an online form and u get a code to type in that does it, things like the iphone, the viewty and alot of newer handsets u need to plug into pc and either run a program(downloaded off web) or tweak settings yourself(follow online guide) |

Cheers guys.
Its a Sony Ericsson C905.
Not insured and its 2nd hand.
I dont like Orange, been with o2 for ages so wanna stick with them really.
Im a bit cautious about doing it myself as I really, really dont wanna mess the phone up. |
