No you dont. unlocking a phone connected to a specific network requires a particular code to be fed to it so that the inbuilt software can unlock it. Like the internet modems sold by safaricom. the unlock code it asks for is tied to the IMEI but it does not erase it. Every provider is required to have a mechanism of unlocking or generating an unlock code for you if you request it. On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 7:40 PM, Kinuthia Ngugi <kinuthia.ngugi@gmail.com>wrote:
To unlock a phone, u have to erase the EPROM, which happens to store the IMEI, which happens to be illegal, which points to the fact that all this unlocking business is illegal.
# I think so...

I don't think unlocking phones is illegal. What may be illegal is changing the IMEI but unlocking to use another network is within your right as the buyer
