Forgot to unlock iPhone in Aus prior to arrival in Phuket .........went to bottom of Big C various shops......was quoted 2500 baht.......I thought to much......any body know of a cheaper shop???? Cheers

more details, better answer ;-)

Shocking that you got that quote. The usual rate is about 300 baht, some lower. Try the melange of phone shops on 2d floor of Central Mall, also there are numerous phone shops in Phuket town around Robinsons.

do it yourself....its free and takes 10 minutes, so easy a grandmother can do it! PM me and I will give you the details how to unlock it.

Why don't you call your network carrier in Aus to unlock the phone?

I lost a whole day trying to unlock my phone and I ain't stoopid, can't be done with my phone.

I was asked ฿7000.- to unlock... I'll try in Bangkok next week.

To make things a bit more detailled, this will be an official unlock ticket requested to apple so the price vary from operators to operators, 5000 baht should be the maximum asked and the phone will have to be restored to factory default and the delay is usually 5 business day for the request to be succeded but as i said check with the official unlock websites before proceeding.
