Good luck!

Moron....most cells nowadays need to be unlocked in person using a technician's cable and appropriate hardware.  Gone are the days when you can unlock a cell remotely by unlock code.

I have an unlock code for a samsung D807 so the days aren't gone quite yet.

check out cellworld at kingsway near joyce.

Right,,, an idiot who pretends like he knows it all when actually knowing nothing...

You cannot unlock ANY of the new Blackberry phones with a hacking hardware box and cable. The best, safest and only way is by remote code.

www.cellunlocker.net unlocked my rogers phone for 25 bucks by code!

Does anyone know where I can go to unlock my Rogers cell phone? (without having to pay a lot)

THIS GUY IS AN IDIOT, ALL PHONE UNLOCKING IS DONE BY REMOTE UNLOCKING CODE, YOU CANNOT UNLOCK ANY NEW PHONES BY CUTTING THEM OPEN...ON TOP OF THAT OPENING YOUR PHONE VOIDS THE WARRENTY. THE BEST WAY TO UNLOCK IS BY REMOTE UNLOCKING...I GOT MINE DONE FOR SUPER FAST AND CHEAP AT WWW.CELLUNLOCKER.NET POLITE TOO

WWW.CELLUNLOCKER.NET

I got my phone unlocked by Allan in Vancouver.

Here's his number: 604-719-6888

His website: www.mobile-to-go.com

whats the advantage to unlocking? your cell phone

What's the advantage of unlocking your 'celluar' phone?

You can use any carriers SIM card - great when travelling or if you move, no need to buy a new phone
You phone's value has increased - it can now be sold to anyone on the GSM network, not just to other Rogers or Fido customers

I obtained the unlock code for my Samsung A436 on E-bay. I'm sure if I looked hard enough, I could have found this on my own, but it wasn't that expensive, and was e-mailed to me. I have to use another carriers SIM card though to get an "ERROR' message on my phone in order to unlock it. I have a spare unactivated Rogers SIM card, I'll try that first, and if that doesn't work, I'll be in another country in a couple of months and just use someone's SIM card then to unlock this phone.

The best place is www.cellunlocker.net done within 3 hrs for me

Just went to a place today in Richmond on Odlin st. called Cell-unlock. They did it for $25

Hi,


Check out www.BargainCellular.ca


Fast, reliable and cheap.

Unlocked my Blackberry 8310 from rogers for me and a Nokia 6300 from Fido which no one else was able to unlock.



Hope this helps.


Cheers!

um if i want to unlock my blackberry 8800 but dont have a cc to use online, are there any actual locations DT van that i can go too?

Check the places that advertise in Buy&Sell.

I recommend Foreign Electronics at 111 West Broadway Ave in Vancouver (604-879-1189)

I have unlocked numerous phones there over the years, all without issue.

I unlocked both of my phones, a blackberry 8320 curve and a Motorola RAZR2 V9 from Rogers at www.BargainCellular.ca

They do it by Unlock codes and it's all done online, I didn't even have to take my phone to them.
Just enter the code that they email you.


I thought the service was great, and cheaper than unlocking it at the mall, they sent my code in 30 minutes way faster than ebay which takes like 48 hours.


They are local as well so if you want you can call them


Cheers,

Hi,

I always use FreeYourCellphone.com awesome service and quick.
A+


check them out


www.FreeYourCellphone.com

Ya www.freeyourcellphone.com is very good

I recommend them too.

they are very quick and pleasant to deal with.

www.cellunlocker.net is the cheapest I highly recommand them. All those other ones are rip offs.

I've tried cellunlocker, freeyourcellphone.com and globalunlock.com

cellunlocker and freeyourcellphone.com were both great but globalunlock.com sucked ass.


also I've heard that jpcell is good in richmond but they are expansive

hey i have a nokia 6275i
that doesn't turn on anymore
where would be the best place to take it to
to get it fixed
they has to be very competant
I took it to a few places already and nobody can fix it
it just died one day
