I'm pretty sure that this will be okay, but I wanted to check with you gurus first.
I'm getting a Vodafone N95 8GB very soon, which I want to use on O2. I'm going to pay Vodafone to undo the SIM lock, but my question is whether this unlocked status will persist after I install the new firmware that's just been released?
I'm planning to change the product code before I install the firmware so that I can de-brand it at the same time.
Any particular order in which I should do things? e.g. unlock first, then update, or update first, then unlock?
Thanks all.
Firmware upgrade does not remove simlock.
You may have been confused by reading about.. certain other phones, where the manufacturer has a special deal with particular networks where they get a cut of your call costs and would rather you didn't change network. Nokia couldn't care less, they're not going to go about re-locking your phone.
Quite right, and it doesn't matter what order you do things in.
Thanks all. Answers my question.
Arybak: thanks for your answer - I'm aware of this - rather I was asking whether having already done a SIM unlock, the firmware update might mess with it.
Cheers all.
