Yes you can, and its perfectly legal to remove "Network Lock" in UK. There are some site which gives you the Unlocking code for free. What phone/model is it?

I dropped my first cell phone in a full cup of beer in the cupholder of my car. I took it to the shop and told them it got a little rain on it and quit working. They wrote a repair ticket and I left. A few days later, they called me and said their tech said the phone stunk of beer and they thought I dropped it at a bar or something. I told them maybe I just have really bad breath and what if it stunk of ****, would they accuse me of dropping it in a toilet? They replaced it with a newer model and upgraded my account. w00t

My mate Baz from the Cross Keys says he can do it for £10 if you give him a couple of days.

Haven't seen him in the boozer for a few weeks now. Hmm, probably gone on holiday abroad or something. :o

I find the euro a really great currency... And I don't know why both England and Denmark(where I live) are still hanging on to their own stupid ones...
