during the past few years i've always been interested in unlocking/modifying gadgetry and tend to go through periods of intense interest whereby i spend most of my spare days reading various tutorials and checking forums on a certain device. usually its a pleasant experience, people freely sharing their knowledge and providing guides to let you achieve what you set out to achieve... i've never had too much problem with any of the consoles i've soft or hard modded thanks to the information i've found online.
just recently i acquired a "spare" phone from my provider, and as its useless to me i thought id stick it on ebay. checking the prices it quickly became obvious that phones unlocked to every network fetch higher prices than those which are locked to only one. naturally i set about looking online for some tutorials to unlock this certain model, and to my surprise it appeared to me that this phone unlocking scene is a much less forthcoming, more secretive, somewhat darker scene than any of the others i've come accross. there are literally hundreds of websites willing to charge you upwards of £10 (some are nearly £30!) for the simple privelege of providing a code to let you unlock your phone.
now i dont really know the legality of unlocking phones, although i suspect that its either completely legal or somewhat a "grey area" so i wont ask for specifics, but i wuuld like to ask if anybody has any experience in this field and could possibly point me in the direction of a forum which provides basic guides, tutorials, links to information or software and such. preferably somewhere free of the hundreds of spammers and paysite owners posting to trying to convince you that their site is the only one worth paying to use. there must be a community for this somewhere, surely?
thanks for reading.
