Well, As I have said earlier. I have a 802SH (Vodafone phone). I have tried a optus sim card and a vodafone sim card in it, And it comes up with SIM MEP. And I have talked to a vodafone chick who unlocks the phones, And vodafone can only unlock Nokia mobile phones. I bought the phone in Japan by the way.

So I thought I would have to visit the mobile phone shops in the valley to get it unlocked. Could someone please point me to one?

E&E

Walk out the back of the Myer center where Ticketek is and cross the road and you will find a small shop full of mobile phone accessories. They can unlock it in about 10 minutes regardless of what phone it is. Top end of Elizabeth Street I think.

Cheers mate. Any idea's on how much it's going to cost?

s***. Didn't realise my bro was logged in. Thanks for the heads up. Any idea how much it's going to cost?

I can't remember but I know it's not much.

Thanks guys. I went there this afternoon. Found the shop pretty easily. $35 to get it unlocked. Didn't have the money at the time so i'm going back tomorrow.

thanks agian

you stole the phone from where?

Brought it home from japan where I bought it.

sorry, was a joke. didn't expect a response. . .

I'm in japan right now. Where did you stay???

isnt there a website where it lets u unlock phones?

If so superform. Please share!


I stayed out in the country. In the northern island Hokkaido. In a small city called obihiro. It was/is very cold there. I was there for 10 months. I won a scholarship funded by QR. The exchange itself was through a company called AFS.

Where are you?

I'm in Nagoya. It's hell cold here compared to Brisbane, but nothing compared to Hokkaido. So much snow around that area this year.

Did you learn much Japanese in the 10 months??

Nagoya? Nice weather there. Only gets down to about 0 right?

The morning I left Obihiro it was -10. The coldest it got down to while I was there was -25.

Blow bubbles outside with bubble stuff and the bubbles freeze and smash. Good fun.



Great english :)

This is by far the coldest winter that I have ever had to endure, but yeah, 0 degrees is a cold day here. -25 umm, no thanks.

Did you meet any nice Japanese girl/s???

im pretty sure its like $30 or something

For a nice japanese girl?

Oh and yes. I learnt a bit of japanese while i was there. My first 4 months my host parents spoke nothing but english to me. They had me as an exhange student to improve their english. But then at the end of month 4 i said f off and speak japanese. So after that it was pretty good. my other mates though, At the end of 10 months, They were pretty much fluent.


I met many pretty nice japanese girls while i was there. Who all wanted to take naked purikura with me.......Make sure you pick the good ones though. As alot of Japanese girls have STD's. But yes. I met quite a few. I went into the 2nd grade of high school. So after school it was always, "lets go to karaoke"


Statistic: 60% of japanese girls loose their virginity before the age of 15. And 50% of japanese girls loose their virginity in a karaoke room ;)

They must like being video taped, because there is a camera in each room.

Did you deflower anyone??

I'm here teaching english, but am on a pretty tight leash, as my japanese girlfriend is not one to share. . . sigh.

sounds like you had an awesome time!!!

Did you deflower anyone??

Jordan why dont you take it to PM if you want to start sharing life stories.

Actually yes. Gotta love been a big gaijin. ;) But the unflowered girls are really shy. They are the lights out sort of girls.

Yeah I had an alrite time. I won't regret it. But I had many problems. I'm slowly typing up a report/blog about my time in japan. And it will be huge. All about Japan's problems.

Be sure to send me the linky when you are done. Would be very interested to read it.
