    He's right, that's really really cheap... If you ask the company you're with to do it isn't it around $200 or so?

    and it works? heard of ppl doing it or KNOW they did it? seems like one of those 'a friend of a friend' stories... but who knows. I know in Van, the going price for unlocking a phone is $50 (at least the price they were offering at every one of the Night market cell stands)

    cell phones are both SIM locked and Browser unlocked.

    SIM unlocking means you can use any SIM in the phone so it work with Roger or Fido.

    Rogers and Fido locks the browser as well. They preset the GPRS settings into the phone so they can't be changed. If you want to change the setting so you can use a Rogers phone with Fido GPRS you will need to have the browser unlocked.

    Usually if you are getting the SIM unlocked the Browser Unlock is an additional $10.

    I have a T68i for sale by the way. It's already unlocked.
