Nonsense. The correct engineering term is 'undoorknobbed'.

It's O2 CS that do the apologising
It's correctly known as " Service Provider lock code" or SP lock code, for short

I actually am happy in my job and all the customers that speak to me are
very satisfied with my service, many have even sent letters to my manager to
give me praise. The figures for satisfied customers of O2 are much higher
than dissatisfied customers, but the satisfied customers dont tend to
complain about it do they.
It may also be useful for you to know that I do not work for o2 online, but
in the offline business department dealing with professionals all day, not
personal or pay and go

Call it what you like, I will still be advising my customers they require an

18. SIM Card - if you buy a Sim Card only from us
If you want to enable an O2 SIM card on your current mobile phone, which is
latched to another network, you may need to obtain an unlatching code from
your current network operator and service provider. The unlatching code is
not the same as your PIN code. Failure to enter the correct unlatching code
may result in your mobile phone becoming permanently blocked. We accept no
responsibility for mobile phones blocked in this way or for any costs
incurred in the provision of an unlatching code

lock = http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/lock.html
latch = http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/latch.html
unlock = http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/unlock.html
unlatch = http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/unlatch.html
both have similar descriptions and who says its never called an unlatching
code? I can find several references to it on the internet.
I'm not arguing that the term for unlock/latching a phone has several names,
i'm merely saying that the OP was not incorrect by calling it an unlatching
code, as Sector999 was so quick to shoot him down.

I think you'll find that the correct terminology is not 'phone' but
'cellular packet radio transciever'.

I feel smarter already
Anyway, i tried Freia 10 with a Siemens Data cable for unlatching my
cellular packet radio transciever and had no luck. I am informed that the
phone (cellular packet radio transciever) is not powered on.
Any ideas as to what has went wrong??
Thanks for your help
