Omnia Unlock for £4.64 @ DealExtreme : i-SmartSim 2008 SIM Card Unlock Attachment forOmnia & Most Other Cell Phones


£4.64

27°

FOUND BY: darklight 1 year, 1 week ago

Yes I know this has been posted before!!
Ok Girls & Boys ...before you go voting cold REMEMBER this unlocks the Omnia for less than a fiver!!
Most Networks/ Online services charge upwards of £15 with Online services producing at best erratic results. Enter the I-Smart Sim again. Works a treat. Even allowed me to update the firmware to the latest ( October) version (DTHJ5)
After upgrading to the Omnia 16Gb PAYG, Orange refuse to provide an unlock code for at least 3 months

You should know they send a i-smartphone simcard and not an i-smartsim which can unlock far more phones.

The i-smartphone cannot unlock my N95 8GB.

Yes I know, no need to be cheeky. Just that I ordered this twice and both times I got the i-smartphone - this is quite recent I think, seems like they switched supplier and these new ones are slightly different.

Is it really that easy?
You just slide it under a sim and it unlocks phones?

I have recently used this one:http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13480 to unlock an old Sony K700i, and to be honest I bought that rather than the one listed here as I could not find any difference, and it was slightly cheaper!

As it happens, I didn't need to cut my sim card, there was enough room for the chip on the sim shim to fit, but that will depend on the phone

Even if you do need to cut it, you cut a notch out of the plastic at the end of the card away from the chip in the card & away from the electronics - you would need to be incredibly clumsy, or use a lumberjack's axe to damage the internal workings from this far away!

No need to snip the card ( not for the omnia anyway
To get the "sandwiich" in the omnia slot

First slide the I-smart sim in to the slot from the wrong end ( as the little square elevated black microprocessor chip will stop it from going in all the way if you try to pop it in the usual way!. The I-Sim's flexible enough to get in in the slot this way

Next silde in the your Mobile SIM carefully into place from the regular insertion end
The Mobile SIm will go in most of the way and come to rest against the black chip(of the I-SIM)
Next lever the end of the MobileSiM slightly over the the I-sim black chip as you push it ( the Mobile sim) in
Mobile Sim card bends slightlys as it finally comes to rest over the blackchip but at least you dont have to snip out notches . Easy enough to do .
Been showing my mates ... been removing & inserting mine all day

p.s if i can get hold of another camera i'll post a photo of how it's done

hope this helps
