| 318621 | 2005-01-27 20:39:00 | I bought a phone while living in the UK, and now want to be able to put a Vodafone simcard in it and use it here. I've taken it to one place that unlocks simcards but they said they were unable to do it. I've got a Sony Ericsson Z200, and it is currently on the Virgin Mobile network. Any ideas of where I can go to get my phone unlocked from Virgin so I can use it in NZ? Thanks! |

| 318623 | 2005-01-28 05:51:00 | there is a site for nokia's here (http://www.unlockme.co.uk/) , but thats not what your after....... i had a quick google and i also saw that it had to be done with a pc. but sometimes there are people on trade me that will unlock the phone for you, it maybe worth a try. have you gone into a vodafone dealer shop and asked? |

| 318624 | 2005-01-28 09:42:00 | I sold a Sony Ericsson P800 PDA/cell phone second hand to a guy in Auckland. When he got it he found there was a password on the phone that I had not entered - turned out it was a default password not listed in the manual. He located a Sony Ericsson agent in Auckland who sorted it out for him. That is a long winded way of suggesting you locate a local Sony Ericsson agent to see if they can unlock the phone for you. Just a thought... John |
