LG shine on O2 should be unlocked, the d900i can be done using hardware im sure and the 6300 can be unlocked by the network.

Re: Unlocking brand new phones

there is if you go into CPW - the majority of the handsets they sell are sim free handsets. The best thing you can do is go into the store and just ask outright like I did, they are usually honest with you.

if you already have a nokia, there is someone on www.digitalspy.co.uk who may be able to supply you with the unlocking procedure some of the nokias, not sure abou the 6300 though.
