Unlocking N95 Help Please

[seanbhoy]

I am looking to buy a N95 and was wondering if anyone could tell me how easy it is to get unlocked? and also can these be unlocked by small shops for £5/£10 ???

any info would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Sean :)

Hi Sean. If you buy one outright they come already unlocked (ie if you get one without a contract)

Otherwise you'll need to pay a fee to the service provider to have the phone unlocked. This is typically around £20 and will depend on the length of time you have had the contract. Some providers won't allow a contract phone to be unlocked before 3 months on a new contract. This does vary.

As for the small shops, try entering "unlock N95" into Google and see what you get back.

Cheers, Tim.

When i last read anything about unlocking BB5 phones, the networks were the ones offering cheapest unlocking rightly mentioned up to about £20

However other shops did it too but were overpriced as it appears the phones could only be unlocked by codes & some really smart people who perhaps have cracked the bb5 system but not willing to share.

If your buying a phone, ensure its unlocked when buying, as places like ebay can sell u phones locked to various networks, if you do buy one of three cause of the cheapest price though they wont unlock it for u unless your the original owner so its easier to buy an unlocked version.

Other networks sometimes have restrictions, as you can't call them not being a customer for an unlock, they dont usually do it.
