trying to get my n73 unlocked by network provider

[ethan]

Does anybody know if the process can be done online as opposed to using the phone. The phone is on O2 and I believe that along with my request for unlocking there is usually a small fee. Thank you

Well when I bought my phone the guy got the code emailed to him?? And they usually charge quite abit, so I would just suggest going to a phone shop to get it unlocked. It will most likely be cheaper than the £30 the operator asks for.

Thanks but they are charging up to £25.00 to unlock and the person I sent it to, to do the unlocking had two goes and failed both times claiming it just wouldn't unlock: (Willy's World in Stoke-on-Trent). I am getting fed up because I am stuck with T-Mobile sim with £20.00 credit on it I cannot use

what do you mean 'online as opposed to using the phone'?

when you get the code you're going to have to put it in the phone...

have you tried calling 02 and asking do they have the code?

Sorry by "online" I ment internet assuming it would be faster to contact O2 and receive a reply. Unfortunately the mobile is a pay as you go and ironically I would still use my O2 network as my calls are much cheaper on Tesco (current O2 carrier). This is what the phone is locked to. The only reasons I want it to be sim free is I have a T-mobile sim with £20.00 credit on it I cannot use lol and if the phone were to be unlocked it would make its resale value a little higher.
