Ha ha, the irony. Me trying to be clever, and feeling pretty much that I know what I'm doing when it comes to phones (I do minor repairs and resell them after all) decided to unlock my friend's T-Mobile Samsung E700 (which he then sold to me) so I could use it on Orange.
Little did I know it would come and bite me in the ass 10 days later when one of the processors inside the phone died (and now my display quality is very poor but it is usable though it looks rubbish and I hate using it). Well apparently I have just invalidated my warranty according to Carphone Warehouse (not that they have a clue what they are talking about, as he was insistent that it MUST have been unlocked on a laptop with a cable - and I didn't want to bait him even though it was done without a laptop in sight, so I shut up) and T-Mobile if they discovered it was unlocked would charge me £35 just to tell me it had an invalid warranty. I am appalled and will be complaining, as it is my phone to do with as I wish as far as I'm concerned, but that is another story.

Ok, here's the deal, I'm sure one exists but I need to relock the phone to T-Mobile. I have a T-Mobile sim, does anyone have the code so I can insert the sim and relock it. And secondly does anyone know if there is a log of it being unlocked then relocked? Frankly, Nokia don't care about me unlocking my phones (I even went in and said, I unlocked a phone and they just said fine, but when it comes back it'll be network locked again, is that ok?), I'm surprised Samsung or T-Mobile do, but yet again it sounds like the phone networks are trying to screw us over for even more money...
