"Yes an Orange sim-locked Nokia N80 bought off auction sites can be unlocked by Orange without much hassle. The procedure is
1.) buy phone
2.) buy Orange sim (£1 online)
3.) register imei with sim by calling 08000790006
4.) wait for phone to activate
5.) call orange on 450
6.) Request unlock code
7.) upload £20 to prepaid balance
8.) Wait few days for code
I am waiting for my code so will update you once I have it and it has worked."
I received my unlock code from Orange this morning and it works. So to unlock a N80 on orange UK will cost you £21 (£20 for unlock,£1 for sim card).
My vodafone sim is working fine.
In the United Kingdom, government regulator OFCOM dictates that networks must release the unlocking information to customers for non-contract handsets (e.g. Pay as you go) on request. Consumers who purchase handsets under “Pay as you go” or a similar scheme are purchasing the handset outright at the point of sale, this has in effect made phone unlocking in the UK a consumer right.

Right, the guy I brought the N80 sent the wrong code in the first place...I'm hoping this next one is right because its my last attempt (3 attempts right?)
Do I need to put the o2 sim in, or shall I just do it again sim free?

hi, you get 5 chances, but you don't want to get to the point where you actually one have only 1 left!!!
i think it's usually better to do it without a sim card in the phone
1 other point...type the code in BUT before you enter the last #, double and tripple check the code (will only take a few seconds!) then type the last #!
that way you know it's not you that's typing it wrong if for any reason it don't work!
it should say somin like "restriction off" if it works.
good luck.
