Question Unlocking phones

Ok just bought a phone off ebay couple of days ago but im in ireland and its uk so ill need it unlocked..
i think its on the 3 network so do i need to take it to a 3 store to get it unlocked or does anywhere unlock them? an does anyone know how much it roughly costs.

Cheers

Dont think game do it but you never know, best bet is to take it to small independent phone shop. Prices range from 5 to 30 pound. Also thay may need to send it away dependent on handset.

The 3 network can unlock it over the phone mate, might cost you a little more than if you were to take it to the shop but atleast you won't have to faff about posting it or whatever.

The customer service UK number is 08707 330 444.

Let me know how you get on
