Just got a new 2630 from Orange which I don't want. Missus likes it
though but she's on O2.
Went to chappie in the market to get it unlocked. initially he said no
problem, but when he checked the firmware version said "no way - SL3
encryption, no-one can unlock this phone".

Is this true what he's telling me? Googling would seem to support it.
Is there someone out there who can unlock it?

F/w version is V57.20

Other alternative is to move missus to Orange, but she's on O2 PAYG.
Can you get a PAC code for a PAYG number?
