I am having a hard time trying to unlock my mobile. It's a sony ericcson T610 and thought I had it unlocked over in England. It was my husbands' phone and he was on a contract, so I took it and got it unlocked and put my pre paid vodafone card in it. When I come over here and got an australian vodafone pre paid it is now saying the phone is locked. So I don't know if they may have just unlocked it for English sim cards, but not world wide... I've been trying to find an internet site to unlock it for over here but they are all for Nokias - anyone able to shed some light on this?Thanks

This website http://www.unlockitnow.com/products/...products_id=79 says you need a cable to do unlocking remotely.

Hi
Had a good scout around on Google and it appears that you will need PC software and a data cable to unlock this phone.
