    Unlocking iPhone

    Hello,

    My iPhone 5 is currently locked to Globe Telecom and I will be bringing it to UK, do you happen to know if there is some people /services which can unlock my phone or make it open line?

    A lot in the UK. When you arrive here, go to any phone shop in your town or city then they will do it for you for at least £15....

    Are you in Cebu City ?

    There are a few shops in the E Mall (second floor) that unlock phones.

    There are plenty of phone shop nationwide in the Philippines that unlock phones....but they don't do iPhones for some reasons.

    My cousin in Manila got an iphone5c from her American husband. She went form one phone shop to another(she looked everywhere in Manila for a phone shop that can unlock the phone) but all of the shops declined to unlock the thing. They said it's too risky and they don't want to take a risk...so she decided to have the phone unlocked in America when she arrives there...

    I am from Manila. They told me that there's no factory unlock of iPhone 5 here so they just put a chip in the SIM card, costs Php2,500.
