Dear Right to Repair

I have a 10 year old dumb phone (keypad phone).

Has anyone unlocked their dumb phone ?

If so, could you tell me how you did it please ?

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

      There were plenty of ways to unlock phones; I used to work in a store that did it and lots just used software and a cable.

        Dear A

        Thanks for your reply.

        Did you ever go ahead and unlock a dumb phone when you were working in the store ?

        Yours sincerely

          Of course, we did thousands. Nowadays it’s not legal to lock phones in the UK so no need for them now; in other countries I guess it’s too difficult to unlock.

            Dear A

            Thanks for your reply. That is very helpful.

            I didn’t realize that about the UK.

            If you were me, and you had a Samsung GT-E3210 dumb phone (keypad phone) made about 2013, that would only accept your current SIM card (the 2nd SIM card you’ve used with this phone) how would you go about unlocking it please ?

            Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

              Yes but I don’t know about your specific phone, you are best off seeing if there is an online store you can send it to.
