To unlock, google your phone and network and "unlock" and you will most likely find someone who can put the code in to unlock for you.

#8 Post at 26-3-2010 12:14  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L You could also find stores where they can unlock. You phone for you, sham Shiu po comes to mind. But as mentioned phones are relatively inexpensive here, prob cost the same as unlocking your phone. Also if you plan on using it for mongering may as well keep it separate, that way its less likely you will accidently leave anything on your personal phone. Just a thought.

#19 Post at 29-3-2010 23:40  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #18 sunmans's post i had my share of both good and bad experience. had a docomo Sharp phone. finally got it working after changing 3 hypersim. the hypersim is just a very thin chip that you stack it on your normal sim card before inserting into the phone. it overwrites certain locking codes on the phone. each hypersim works for specfic phones, not all.. hence u need to trial n error on newer phones, dependent on your network service provider too.
