OT: Sony Ericsson P800 unlocking

nope i got mine done at a local shop, you need a special cable (can't be done through USB) and some software i'm affraid....

done through USB) and some

Oh - I assumed it'd be possible via the normal USB connection, as surely the special cable would go in the same place, wouldn't it? I also saw a website somewhere that does it via email, just using your serial number - just wondering if anyone might have that (i.e .Ronny - you've got one of these haven't you?).

If not, I'll stop being so tight and pay the £6.50 or whatever it is these people charge - just wondered if someone might help - it'd be worth a pint / burger at the next meet, if and when it happens :-)

nope USB cable don't work and it can't be done via IMEI number either as it isn't DCT or whatever it's called. the guy that did mine used a lil device that uses a nokia looking phone (which it isn't) and a cable linking to my sony, the nokia looking thingy generates a code which you imput in the phone and that's it.

it's a send it away job to get done or try a small local shop you'll be surprised.

Ah - earlier I looked on one website (can't remember the name) that claimed to do it remotely, but you've got to buy the special cable for about £15, then they give you a one-use password to use their software and unlock your phone via your newly purchased cable. Rather find a friendly local person to just do it for a fiver (well, probably a tenner).

If anyone knows one in the Berkshire area, get in touch!

heres a good site to look on

Your local market will have a phone dude, and you've surely got a second-hand phone place somewhere nearby ?
