I can be done but only by cross flashing with E66 firmware, unlocking and flashing back to 5800 firmware!

Not for the faint hearted as any blip or wrong version of firmware and it's bye bye phone forever!!

Probably best to use a IMEI to unlock code service!

Sounds very interesting Jim !! How does this work and what do you mean by 'cross flashing ' ?

The 5800 can not be unlocked but the E66 can! So the 5800 is flashed with E66 firmware then unlocked and then flashed back to 5800 firmware again!

I will repeat: Not for the faint hearted as any blip or wrong version of firmware and it's bye bye phone forever!!
