    Nothing for free!

    Take it to a dealer or buy a code on E-Bay...

        Yes, for a price. This is an A2 handset if my memory still works.

        You can buy credits for a server unlock via cable, but it's usally cheaper to visit a shop.

        All other software that can be downloaded, like SeTool, needs the SeTool unlocking box to operate. Ebay has them listed from about ?60-?100, but don't forget that you may just need server credits for this phone.... There's another ?60+ since you generally can't purchase single credits anymore.
        Luckily you wouldn't need the box activating for the W205, so that's saved you another ?100

        There's a reason you can't do this for free. There's too much money being made by the developers who crack the SIM protection.

        If you're thinking of trying Aerix, don't bother. It has killed more phones than toilet water. A GDFS repair will cost you even more time & money.

          You can beg as much as you want but you will not get it for free!

          The days of free unlocking software for mainstream bands ended in 2003 - 2004. So, you can get free software for T610 and even K750 but after that... nothing!

          Once in a while commercial software does get cracked but in many cases it only partly works and often destroys otherwise good handsets!!!
