I have unlocked my phone.
so guys..... I HAVE RECEIVED MY UNLOCK CODE!!!!!!
havent put it in yet, im about to do it now and i will let you know if it works...
And im happy to report my red lumia 920 from phones 4 u is now fully unlocked and connected to the giffgaff network!!!! im one happy bunny.
i have the phone unlocked with fonefunshop.co.uk, and the code took 5 days to come.
Dane, on what network was your phone before you unlocked it? In other words, what code did you order?
Mine is on T-Mobile and when trying to order, I get a warning about Orange and T-Mobile started using a merged network lock for which their codes won't work. Unfortunately, I cannot check if my phone uses this new lock.
Edit: This is the warning I get when checking out
There's more on how to check but I don't have the means to follow either of their methods. Which ones of these are the P4U Lumias locked on?

Which network did you order the code for? EE, T-mobile or Orange? Thats the bit that confuses me...

I just looked at the field test menu on the phone and it says my MCC-MNC is 234-33. So i'm wondering which to order as have a P4U on T-mobile.
Looks like the Orange one to me? Strange! How do you check the field test menu?
Sorry guys forgot to say, i ordered the unlock for EE network.
i mostly assumed this as i had read around on the net that all the phones4u 920's are on the ee network. also when i first booted up my phone it took me to the EE website as the default homepage of the browser. hope this helps

Yeah I've seen that, or a windows 8 phone with sd slot, like the 820 and you can do it without the dev cost.
Good news. I just hope carriers don't get in the way of this being pushed out to the masses. i imagine those who bought sim free will get it earlier.
Hopefully not, the always on WiFi will be a big plus!
Plus I think it mentioned Stability fixes...I've had one freeze so far on my 920!
same, i have not had any crashes or freezes with my 920 until yesterday when it happened twice, once the screen just when blank and nothing was working, i didnt know if it was on or off and the power button wasnt doing anything.
i looked up a force reset with the vol down, power and cam button help together and it did something cos the phone was able to start up again. i was a bit worried cos when i was reading about doing this it said all my data would be lost. since tho the phone has been working perfectly. still happy, generally i still find the os less temperamental than android or iOS.
does anybody know what the force restart procedure is for the 920?
also i looked at the 8x yesterday, was so uncomfortable to hold in you hand. thats the problem with phones with thin edges, one of the reasons i didn't like my s3, the 920 is equally as large, but fits so much more nicely in the hand.

It's definitely the Vol Down + Power for about 10+ seconds...I had to google that last night, I froze on the lockscreen!
I have to say though definitely enjoying being back on Windows Phone after selling my One XL, which I'm almost surprised to be saying
Anyone got an answer to how I can find/access the zip I sent across via bluetooth?
