If unlocked via network code it does not invalidate the warranty | |

Voda are now selling phones that are unlocked.if they are still locked to voda ie an older phone,you can contact them via the web and get an unlock code for free.I did this when i sold my n95. | |

yes but if u purchase a phone on 02 and its unlocked to all networks then the manufacturer (i.e nokia, lg, samsung) will be able to tell. they know via serial numbers which phone was distributed to which network | |

What if its unlocked via a code like it would be from the network? | |

unlocking the phone does invalidate the warranty, i work for LG and the amount of poorly unlucked corrupt faulty phones we get thru unlocking is shocking. | |

I got my E51 from ebay, was a vodafone upgrade contract, came unlocked, vodafone and O2 phones are normally unlocked. | |

lots of people on our market do it, im pretty sure it would invalidate the warrent allthough im not sure if they leave any visible damage or broken seals on the fone | |

So what is involved with unlocking mobile phones? Does it void the warranty when you do it? Say buying a phone on Vodafone PAYG but wanting to put O2 Pay Monthly SIM in? |
