Unlocking cell phones
 

Hey, can anyone suggest some good stores for unlocking cell phones? I heard there are a couple in Crystal Mall? I know that JP cell is charging me $25 + tax but I don't really want to go to Richmond since its pretty far away for me... Also, how much does it usually cost?

I am trying to unlock a Telus E71 so I can use it for my Bell Sim card.

TIA

uhh.. crystal mall is in burnaby

got my E71 unlocked and debranded for 35 at jp pretty good service worth the trip.

Debrand you can do yourself, very easy, but for unlocking I would go with JP. I would go to JP first for anything hardware-related.

Thanks for the input people! When I called them they said I didn't need to unbrand it.. I think unlock it is good enough? Is unbranding just like jailbreaking?

Unbranding means it removes all the logo/icons/junk embedded onto the phone by Rogers/Fido/Bell/Telus etc.

Im assuming you can do that yourself by plugging it into your computer.. and just installing and opening programs that automatically do it for you? :p

Nothing is automatic. Poke around. All the answers are here already if you wield the power of English comprehension.
