Unlocking LG IQ from telus

Hello! Hope your enjoying your IQ, as am I.

Unfortunately I dont think our phones can be unlocked at the current time... I hate to say but I have tried seeing if someone who unlocks hundreds of phones at a flea market could...he couldnt. I think it has to do with TELUS being new to SIM cards but I cant say for certain.

Sorry I cant help you any better

There was somebody on this board who bought an octopus box ($800) for the sole purpose of unlocking his LG IQ.

I am not sure if he subsequently planned to setup an unlocking site. You could look through the boards and try and PM him for more info.

The only problem with the octopus box is that it is a physical unlock. i.e. you physically need to connect the phone to the octopus box.

Also you can try mobileincanada.com which I have used before and generally has a good reputation.

I think in canada one of the issues with unlocking the phone is that the databases are usually controlled by the carrieris.

Sorry to add, that in recent past talks with high level people at Telus, they played dumb an said flat out, that no one had this ability.

I have multiple lines with them with 7 years of contract history.

I know what your saying though, its not like they'd lose anything at all.

Smart-ass lol.

For those who live in Toronto and know where Pacmall is, okay, it's technically in Markham... Anyway, there's a few shops in there that does it for $ 20-25 bucks, takes about 15 mins.  I didn't do it yet as I didn't want to void my warranty until the one year is over.
