How do you unlock a mobile phone from a specific network without paying for it?

Depends on the phone, the network and all kinds of things. Some are easier than other (such as Windows based phones), and some are very hard.

Why free? A lot of places will do it for a tenner or so.

Nothing is free in this world but you could try this

You could also try this but it looks like you need a phone to pc cable

Motorola V545 locked to Orange.

Been doing some surfing and it doesn't look like you can get it done for free for this phone.

In answer to the question "why for free?", I don't want to pay for it to be done if there's a free and easy alternative, just like most people I suppose. That's all.

Oh well, just have to pay for it.

The other good reason why it makes sense to pay for it is that if a shop does it for you and mucks up the firmware(which can happen on some phones),,
It's their fault:eek:..

I paid a quid to get an unlock code for my french mobile, just have a rummage on google

Just take it down your local market and don't be a scrooge, they'll do it while you wait and only charge a couple of quid. AVOID the pay us £15 and we'll send you a code crap and there's little point shelling out for a cable and messing around for hours.

if you got a phone that works on all networks say orange and it gets lost or stolen. you phone up and cancel the phone and it wont work on orange again - it will work on the other networks though. that is my experience with buying second hand phones
