Unlocking a Nokia X6

[GWC]

I have just upgraded to a Nokia Lumia 800, which is fantastic by the way. I want to unlock my X6 from Orange as I have an O2 sim I want to use in it. There seems to be loads of sites offering codes at vastly different prices. Can anyone recommend a reliable site that will provide the correct codes at a reasonable price, please?

You don't need to pay for it, I think there's a program called NSS and using that & PC Suite you can debrand the phone from Orange to a non-branded X6 and the relevant product code available

I looked for ages at various sites a few months ago when I upgraded mine but couldn't find any that I wanted to put my card details in. In the end £20 & 5 mins waiting with a shifty looking chap & his laptop on a mobile phone kiosk in my local shopping centre worked for me.

Let be clear I haven't done it, but when I wanted to update the software on my X6 this what was suggested as Vodafone no longer supported nokia update releases after about 6 mths after launch. It was suggested here.

Excuse my ignorance but what am I looking at here? My phone would appear to be this one from the list, is my bold the unlock code?

0596178: Nokia X6 RM-559 Orange UK GB Free Navi Black Red V2 GV

No you need the generic UK version for your phone which if it is the same as mine (16gb white) would be:

0595682: RM-559 CTR 16GB EURO1 WHITE_WHITE UK

This is the product code, I believe it will reset your phone to a default unbranded UK Nokia X6 and allow you to upgrade the software directly with Nokia rather than via Orange, based on that I also believe this means you can use any sim in it, the down side being doing this may invalidate your warranty.
