Mainly I am looking for the right thing to say in Polish :) I think there is a small kiosk in Metro Ratusz, does anyone have any suggestions in the same area please?

Just take your mobile to any shop, where they sell used mobiles.
"Unlock" should do the trick.

BTW: There are new calculators, that can even unlock a BB5 online.
Just don't try it to often, so the people @ the shop have chance.

usunąć simlock - not absolutely grammatical (though younger generations speak this way)

oosoononch simlock - is approximate English pronounciation for this

it means to remove simlock

unlock may not help not all Poles are that English proficient

Thanks! However several shops were unable to unlock my phone - seems like the dire prediction from O2 were correct: it can't be unlocked for a year is their official line. I'm now the not so proud owner of an older model Sony Ericsson, but at least it was cheap!

Every phone can be unlocked. What model do you have?

Sony Ericsson T303. I was sceptical at first but seems no one could get round the encoding.

I would like to unlock it and then maybe keep the other one as a spare because the new phone is a lot nicer to use!
