Unlock your fucking Cell Phone!
January 9th, 2007
Bitches trying to restrict where you can use your cell phone?? well, you paid for it, so you should have the right to open it up and make it work wherever you are right? I think so. Here’s a quick step by step on how to go about unlocking your phone. Well, before you start looking on ebay for some unlocked phones from the Czech Republic or Poland you might be able to just hack away at all the proprietary bullshit with a little help from your good friend the internet:)
Unlocking via computer
One of the most popular ways phones are unlocked is using the RS-232 or LPT port of a computer using software usually written specifically for the model of phone being unlocked. In some cases, special “unlocking clips” or “unlocking boxes” are used which re-program the software that controls the phone, removing the SIM lock. However, such clips are usually very expensive.
Regulations on unlocking
Unlocking a phone without the permission or unlocking code from the provider is usually in breach of the agreement with the provider, though most countries do not make specific laws prohibiting the removal of SIM locks. (In many markets, it is also unlikely that a customer who has purchased a pay as you go phone over the counter in a store is legally bound by any such contract anyway). For example, in Poland, the law states that providers cannot word their customer contracts so that they forbid the removal of SIM locks, and the process is entirely legal providing that the IMEI number of the phone is not changed during the unlocking process.
In the United Kingdom under the Mobile Telephones (Re-programming) Act 2002, changing the IMEI of the phone is illegal. However, the IMEI is not changed during any unlocking process.
In the Netherlands unlocking is legal provided that the process does not overwrite the handset’s flash memory with a (modified) copy of copyrighted firmware, since this would be a breach of copyright retained by the manufacturer. However, unlocking a handset will void its warranty.
In the United States under new copyright rules, cellular phone unlocking is now legal. The new rules took effect November 27, 2006 and will expire in three years.
