How does one get this phone unlocked, where do you suggest? Are websites, OK? Does it get problematic with Apple etc ... The phone is locked to Japan's Softbank. Person is now in Dunedin. Doesn't work with a Vodafone SIM.

Cheers.

@rayonline Has to be unlocked by the carrier it was purchased from, This has been covered many many times on Geekzone

iPhone SIM locking works very different when compared to Android

Also enjoy the loud shutter sound @ max volume every time you take a photo.
