K850i

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to unlock a Sony/Eriksson K850I from Orange?

I've been told I need to replace the log file, is this correct? if so where would I get the unlocked file?

If anyone can help it would be great.

Re: K850i

I'm not sure if unlocking and unblocking are the same thing. But you could check this out, log into your Orange account

https://services.orange.co.uk/sam/te...eb/sign_in.htm

then under "help & support" there is an option to "get a PUK code to unblock your phone"

I hope this helps, though it probably hasn't lol

Re: K850i

Okay well best way is to just find a back street mobile shop. They pretty much unlock anything for around £10-20 depending on the phone

When I've looked into doing it myself ages it ago it worked out a lot more expensive
