How to unlock a SGS4

[Egon]

So EE want to charge £8.99 to unlock my Dad's phone. Seems like such a con given the amount of money they take off you in a 24 month contract, but there you go.

I'm assuming there are other ways to unlock these, flashing a different ROM perhaps. Or maybe there isn't and he just needs to pay up, it isn't a significant sum of course but it just seems wrong to charge a customer to unlock a phone that is effectively theirs at the end of the contract.

Suggestions welcome

Btw the last 4 phones my dad has had from EE have not been locked - have you already tried a different SIM?

Yeah I did try that but didn't work. I grabbed a Tesco SIM last night and confirmed it was locked.

Ahh well, might just go the easy route if £9 is considered reasonable.
