Unlock a Alcatel Pop 4 Mobile Locked to Optus Network

Hi, I am having trouble unlocking a Alcatel Pop 4 5051x-2atuau1 mobile locked to the Optus network. I purchased it at a great price and need to unlock it to use boost/Telstra, as it's the best reception for where I live. I have tried: unlock it codes, cellfservices and [email protected], but none were able to unlock the phone. Can anyone suggest another alternative to unlock the phone without using Optus and paying $80? Many thanks for any assistance.

  • Thanks Altomic. I have registered and am have engaged some guru's for help.
    Denniski, I saw that one, but they are in store only, and am not keen to send my phone to them.

    Thank you to both of you for your replies.
    I will keep you posted when/if I have any luck.

    if you're daring and adventurous, consider downloading the qualcomm qpst and qxdm software and unlock whatever bands you want.

  • Denniski - they don't have a solution for this phone :(

    FWP - ha, that I am not. But if I run out of options, i will try to find a tech savvy person to help.
    Thanks for the idea.

  • I have the same phone and keen to unlock it.
    Did you find a solution on this?

  • hey just wondering how good is the Alcatel pop-5 phone, as I want to buy it from AustraliaPost. does it run smooth or lags, does it have good batter life??

  • I ended up getting it unlocked at a mobile phone shop in underwood, Brisbane. It had to be plugged in to be unlocked.
    It's a pretty good phone. The screen res is awesome. Big battery. I do find it does have a few seconds lag. But otherwise for the price - very happy.

    • how much did you pay to unlock through this method?

  • I have the pop 4

  • $25

  • You can also try an ebay guy who remotely log into your computer and apply the unlock. It took like 15 min and I didn't have to visit a physical shop.

  • Any links to contact this person?
