TheShockMaster Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hello, Where is the best / cheapest place in Pattaya to get 2 UK iPhones unlocked? I tried upstairs in Central Center Big C and they tried to charge me 5,000 to unlock 1 iPhone that's on Orange? Laughed in her face. One iPhone is locked to Orange UK and the other is iPhone is locked to O2 UK. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaicbr Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 How long have had them on the Uk networks. I think they will give you free unlock code if more than 3 months. sent from my Wellcom A90+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the phones for quite a while but it would probably be cheaper getting them unlocked in Pattaya than phoning Orange and O2 in the UK to get them unlocked for free. I'd be on hold for ever.

timekeeper Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 they can't be unlocked in the traditional way they are unlocked on line, via a plug in service to a global website that's about the right cost wether its done here or elsewhere i understand its £100 + vat in UK to have it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadbin Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Free in UK now, need to have had the phone a certain length of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoslim Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'd go for legit unlock by calling the providers, latest firmware can't be unlocked without using some modified sim card crap and if you ever updated your iphone with itunes you will have the latest firmware.

MrZM Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 What iPhones are they? If you have iphone 4/4s, You can buy a gevy sim, for around 1200 baht which will automatically unlock your iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZM Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I have a 4s, I use a gevy sim, never any problems! you can buy this at tuk com. Look for a shop named pao mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShockMaster Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) One is an iphone 4 and the other is an iphone 4S. Gevey sim sounds like the best option. I would call the UK to unlock them but that will cost me even more in phone charges. Do you use the gevey sim along with a Thai simcard?

yoslim Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 you can call the UK with skype or any other voip service... should cost nearly nothing and at least you will have fully legit unlocked phones but what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I paid 500 baht to get a UK iPhone of Questionable origin unlocked at Big C. The guy is not there anymore, I was told he has now moved to the Mobile Phone Center in Mikes Shopping Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZM Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Simply go to tukcom. Look for poa mobile he is on the far right as you come up from pattaya tai entrance. Buy a gevy sim tray to unlock your iPhones, it's the safest simplest, quickest way! If you can't find pao mobile, majority of stalls have the sim.

Done it before and that's my "facts" Agree with MrZM But a Gevy is NOT an unlock in the TRUE sense. It is just a hardware/software bluff and if you upgrade software sometimes doesn't work . A proper unlock is harder and more expensive sent from my Wellcom A90+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZM Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Why do all topics turn into arguments. If you have an iPhone 3/3G yes you can unlock your iPhone for around 200/300 baht. As for the iPhone 4/4s the software unlock is expensive, I was first quoted 10,000 baht 5 months ago. So I opted for the gevey sim tray, which in my opinion is safer for your phone, it's don't there and then and you don't have someone messing with your phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The iPhone 4s I had unlocked for 500 baht, was an Orange UK contract phone, it had been left in a mates Taxi back home and was never claimed so he brought it over here. (Bloody Criminal) So I must assume that not only was this telephone Sim locked as an Orange Contract phone, but It is fair to assume it had also been barred. 500 Baht that's all I paid and the Mrs has a One2Call sim in it and it is working perfectly.

TheShockMaster Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Right, well here's what happened at Tukcom.... Went upstairs to the phone shops in Tukcom... went over to the first one on the left that has the Apple iPhone and iPad logos plastered all over it thinking it would the logical place to go. The woman took our iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S for about 15 minutes... came back and said that both phones won't work with a Gevy sim and it will cost 5,000B to unlock both and it will take 3-4 days. I'm guessing they are trying to unlock them online via the UK but 5,000 seems a bit steep. I didn't bother asking at any of the other shops in Tukcom. I'm not sure whether or not to believe her about the Gevy sim not working... seems like a rip off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZM Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Go to Pao Mobile, located on the right side back wall, coming from pattaya tai entrance. He is an iPhone magician. The only possibly of why the gevey sim won't work, is because of the firmware on the phones. Anyway, you have asked for advice, please use it.

TheShockMaster Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Anyway, you have asked for advice, please use it. I did use the advice. Although it was difficult to find in amongst the endless amounts of petty squabbling that many TV users feel the need to bring to a forum post. I asked at the shop that you and others suggested. They can unlock them for 6,000B and he didn't even bother acknowledging the fact I was mentioning a Gevy Sim to him. This was before he even look at the firmware or touched the phone.

JusticeFT96 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Ok having had Iphone 3, 3g, 4 and now 4s I can confirm a few things. 3, 3g and 4 I done myself, you need to jailbreak but if your on the most latest firmware it will be quite hard and maybe you have an up to date baseband that will make it even harder. There are ways around this however. Anything before 4s is much easier, the 4s is a lot harder. Its so hard infact that I did manage to jailbreak my phone no problem however there was no network unlock available. You may want to google ultrasn0w and look for yourself about what can and cannot be done, I wont post it on here as its probably not legal. I eventually ended up calling up orange and they agreed to unlock my phone, I think it was £10 or £20 I cant remember they just put it on my bill, a week or so later I had an email with instructions on how to unlock my iphone 4s. Are the phones stolen? If not are the phones on a contract with a network? If they are how long for and if over 3 months or something like that just give them a call the phonecall will only take a few minutes and they email you the instructions when your phone is ready to unlock. All I said was that I am travelling around Asia and I want to use different sims in different countries so I dont spend a fortune roaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeFT96 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 PS dont pay any of these websites that offer to do it for you for a fee, either do it yourself, its easy enough or call your provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
