Unlocking sony ericsson C702 - Saxperience

JBVTR · 8th December 2008, 11:35

Got one of these the other day but when i put my sim card in its coming up as "inactive sim" on the screen so im guessing its locked. Anyone know the best way of getting it unlocked and a rough price if cost involved

cheers

Take it to your local mobile phone shop (ideally something thats not like Carephone warehouse etc.)

Usually about £5 to unlock them.

Not to sure if CPW unlock them or not. But know your local little shop would do it for a small fee.

Ta bud you know how long it takes them to do. Might pop down on my dinner break if they dont take to long

Peejous · 8th December 2008, 11:56

Takes about 2 minutes.

They just open it to all networks.

However, there is no come back on it. So if your phone then fucks up you cant take it back to them etc.

doesnt take too long. all they have to do is plug it in and press a few buttons lols. 10-15 minutes maybe?

Got it off a mate that had it on contract with o2, thing is im trying to use it with a PAYG o2 sim card and its coming up with inactive sim. Shouldnt it already work if its unlocked to them.
He's getting an arse kicking if its dodgey

Sure the phone hasn't been blocked?

Get him to try his 02 contract sim in it to see if the phone still works.

Wouldnt have thought they would block it unless he told them to though. Would a phone shop still be able to sort it or do i need to get him to give o2 a ring ? He's back down in portsmouth now on his navy training so cant try the sim

jeeesus nouts ever easy lol

LeeM · 8th December 2008, 12:21

is the phone working fully, but instead of saying o2 it says inactive sim?

MAS · 8th December 2008, 12:24

well inactive sim can mean that either the sim card is not activated or the sim card inserted is not for that fone (meaning that it is locked to a certain network) i doubt its blocked though

LeeM · 8th December 2008, 12:27

i think inactive sim in a sony ericsson means its a blocked phone, which you cant unblock at all. that is if it does what i asked and functions fully apart from not picking up signal

MAS · 8th December 2008, 12:34

well i think u should try another sim in it to make sure everything is ok but u should also have a word with your mate as many people do claim there phones lost or stolen after they have sold them!

Thats what its doing its got reception an everything works but says inactive sim in the middle and wont let me make calls or texts. He got an upgrade so i got this off him cant see why they would block it though. Ill have to get him to chase them up about it or i havnt got a phone last ones buggered

did your sim card work fine in your last phone? try a couple of sims in this new phone both o2 and others, try yours in another phone as well. get him to call o2 and say its been blocked because they should only do that when its reported lost/stolen. if he has reported it lost/stolen then im afraid theres no way around it as it will never work in this country again.

yep get the sim checked out in another phone first if u dont have a phone borrow a family members phone and if the phone is barred or blocked it wont work in this country and if it isnt unlocked, dual band or tri band it wont work in any other country either!
