Places that you bring your phone in looks to be alot cheaper. With Bongo, you need to purchase a USB cable which is like 60$ unless you get it off ebay.

I need the phone for work, and ebay is a slower process.

thanks tho!

I know its only 1 cent, but im on call for work. I can't go without a phone, therefore that is why im trying to do it the fastest but cheap enough way. Ebay shipping is a long process. (1 week or so)

Pacific mall or bongo wireless looks to be my best bet.. but bongo will have to wait till wednesday since they are closed at 6pm.

****!

Go on Howardforums.com buddy.
There are a bunch of places on there where you can find to unlock your phone. But I don't know how reliable they are.
Good luck.

I would suggest talking with Kevin at Bongo Wireless. It should be between 30 or 40 bucks. They do a great job.

Could it have been Fido-Digicell.ca ??

I looked at the PM webpage and thats the closest i can see.

Thanks for your help!
