Sorry, me again.

Right, it's a Bank Holiday in the UK today and we fly out on Wednesday, so there's no time to get one off Ebay and I don't want to pay Turkcell prices for a new one; so does anyone have a spare unlocked dongle which will work with a Turkcell card and which they could sell me ? We will be in the Alsancak area.

If you can help, my email address is downingaj@yahoo.co.uk, and I would need to know by Wednesday.

Many thanks

Alan

Try O2 I think that there dongles are unlocked and should work with Telsim or Turkcell sim card. But check that it is unlocked.

Will check O2 tomorrow but I understood that they are all "locked" in order to maintain allegiance to their own services, or at least that's what Orange, Dixons and Carphone Warehouse told me today.

Still after a proven TRNC unit if I can get one.

Stewart, does the unlocking process have to occur on the actual laptop the dongle will be used with, or can it be done on any pc ?
