debrand k800 trouble

[o0ops]

Lucky you were.
I bought on Ebay a K800i branded on SFR France.
NORMALLY they are supposed to give the unlock code after 6 months.
So I first got all the vendor's personal data and called SFR.
Who first told me, considering the IMEI, the phone was too recent and I should wait 2-3 weeks.
OK, 3 weeks after I called again. Here I got the reply they just COULD NOT get the @#*! unlock code and I should send the phone to some company in the North of France (I do live in Paris) with a copy of the ORIGINAL invoice for the phone. Which is of course long lost and foregone !!!:mad:

So that's why I'm here and have the pleasure of being one of this forum.. :D

and BTW as I'm a newcomer on mobile phones (not really on computers nor on the Internet... ) if anyone can help me with my lil' problem...

I'd like to get rid of the awful Vodaf*** portal too (debranding that's called I think? I'm a fast learner tooo.... :p)

Rgds to all.

Actually I did browse a little bit around the web before comin' in here, and I did lay hands on a software called XS++ which told me my SUPERB K800i was DB2020 (omg !) and CID51.

AND I did read somewhere I was possible to unlock, debrand and what you like those phones for free. In fact, when I launched XS++, it proposed me to 'convert' the phone to CID52.

As I don't know (for the moment...) of what use this might be, I didn't do nothing...

Waiting for your competent advices !!!
