unlocking a Samsung U600 (no SIM)
Been given a Samsung U600 by the In-Laws. It's locked to O2 at the moment, but I want to put Wifey's Vodafone SIM in it.
Is there any way to do this? Got a data cable, and ideally OS X. but also have XP.
Not got an O2 sim though.....
Any joy?

A quick Google found this, might work?
1. First do a CUSTOM reset: *2767*2878# (star 2767 star 2878 hash)
turn off the phone
2. take out the battery and sim and put wrong network SIM and insert a half of it,
so it won't ask for network password and shows "Insert SIM" message.
Now put the battery ,and switch the phone on .(phone shows "Insert SIM" message.)
3.With out turning off the phone push the sim fully in. At this stage the phone is still asking to "Insert SIM"
4. Make a FULL reset by typing: *2767*3855#(star 2767 star 3855 hash)
5. The phone should reboot working with "wrong" sim inside.
6. Make a Change the NCK password to 8 zeros by typing: *7465625*638*00000000*00000000#
(star 7465625 star 638 star 8zeros star 8zeros hash)
7. Now Disable network lock By typing: #7465625*638*00000000#
(hash 7465625 star 638 star 8zeros hash)
Phone is unlocked (check with *#7465625#
turn off the phone

Thanks for that mate - sadly, it doesn't work.
Step 2 is physically impossible without some serious SIM bending
Looks like it will have to go to a "shop".....
Unless you (or anybody else) has got any other suggestions....
