Hi all.
Due to a certain provider helpfully locking this phone it won't work
in the Channel Islands thanks to the topups being available only in
the UK.

Does anyone know if it is possible to legally unlock this phone or
not?
have already tried the "unlock by IMEI" and it didn't work.

i am aware that they locked these for a reason but it sucks because
these phones work fine and make ideal "emergency" phones in the event
of being stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat car and main phone
battery.

any ideas?

As they were only worth a fiver new it's not worth paying an unlock dealer
to unlock it

Look for the cheapest phone at CPW, it'll probably be unlocked

Or a used Nokia DCT4, as you can unlock them for free

The orignal network will be able to, as long as you are the registered
owner.
