I just now got a cheapie mobile phone off eBay to be an emergency business number. On arrival though it was apparent that it was much nicer than my trusty old personal mobile, which is the only one I've ever had and which has never quite recovered from being dropped on the floor at last GenCon. So I thought, why not swap them over, as I'm not going to be needing the work one very often. All good except my own phone was on a different network, so they both had to be unlocked. Now there are plenty of people on market stalls, online services and so on offering to do this for a few quid, but being me I wondered how hard it was to do it yourself for free. The answer turned out to be "not at all hard" -- particularly with them both being Nokias, which seem rather more accessible than some. So now I have a nice phone for myself and a battered old one for work, instead of the other way round: if you should ever want to do such a thing, I strongly recommend UnlockMe for a good explanation of how to.
