But surely either 3 or nokia should be able to unlock them - i've already paid for the code (which is allegedly going to be refunded)
"Club Nokia" say 3 have the system to generate the codes, my local Nokia Service centre says 3 have the gear to do the codes themselves and that they aren't allowed to do it for me without written authority from 3. but 3 refuse to provide the code saying either Nokia or the Retailer we originally bought it from are the people who have to arrange for it to be unlocked.
This is just 3 being awkward as far as I can see. I've got a handset which I paid good money for and which is now almost useless unless I get another 3 simcard to use in it - and no way i'm going to do that. Their T&C's paragraph 3.6 states that if requested they will provide the code, also says if the purchase price was less than the full retail price then the difference has to be paid.
Guess it's hurry up and wait till the various warring nokia unlock teams see sense and release the tools to unlock them
