Think this would be against forums rules so PM me...

Could be classed as Hacking? as your not supposed to do it?

I "might" have the "free" answer =)

The official policy is that circumventing copyright is a no-no and threads will be locked and / or deleted.

Unlocking DVD players and phones is rather different, but to maintain a consistent stance it is also frowned on.

However, for the latter case there are always PMs

The problem is with the
...have just bought...
bit. Unlocking your phone is quite legal but only after the prescribed period has elapsed (usually a year). Now if you had started your message with "How can I unlock a phone that I believe to be old enough without unduly annoying any support staff from my mobile phone provider?"

(Not that I'd be able to provide the answer by the way.)

Just because you get a V3 unlocked doesn't mean that the custom menus, including any restrictions, are returned to what the phone manufacturer intended, of course.

(You can get a V3 unlocked by the man on Cambridge market. It costs, but not a lot.)

I've got several V3s (don't ask!). It's an excellent phone, and when I wanted to unlock one, I phoned the provider it was locked to. They gave me a long number to key in, and that was that.

Simples!

Indeed - there are several websites dedicated to it. But it doesn't unlock 'em.
