Has anyone unlocked their own phone via unlock codes or is it best to play safe by going to Pc cellular (only shop that does it that's open today) ???

I would say phone shop. At least you have some comeback if it fails.
Off to shop to get it done - with mms u can re download settings from provider I know u can with virgin will ask at o2 
Best advice learned by my hard way is make sure u get the right provider before getting your phone and make sure before u unlock phones that phone will run services your phone needs beforehand. Luckily not wasted money on new sim.
Same from Mobiles.co.uk, all are any network.
I've used SmartSIM before on a number of mobiles, you don't need to 'unlock' the phone, the film effectively confuses the phone as to what type of sim is installed. In my case a Orange locked phone was used on O2 and voda quite happily when trying just the sim showed it to be locked.
no risk of "bricking" the phone either...

The phone is now unlocked but apparently cos it's a BB I can't use another sim data plan as it doesn't work or operate properly for bbm.

Twas unlocked 18 months ago.
Probably changed phones about 5 times since then too
Yeah, I'm stupid enough to keep buying his cast offs on eBay.
How many of those 5 has she lost, broken or hated for being rubbish?Probably changed phones about 5 times since then too
