It is a legal obligation that after 6 months -in france, and EU probably- you must be able to unlock for free. Though it used to be sometimes quite difficult (and long) to have your provider really giving you the code he had to give you for free. A lot of people I know finally bought a code to unlock , because provider took too much time (several months !!!). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
