Default unlocking a cell phone

I have never done this before, so I'm completely a novice when it comes to this.

I have two cell phones, a Samsung Galaxy S (yes, the original one) and a Blackberry Q5.

The Samsung is tied to Fido, the Blackberry to Rogers. I would like to swap them as temporary measure.

Is there a place I can go online to get them swapped?

Have you tried the sims in the other phones? Rogers and Fido are the same company, often it will be a Rogers/Fido lock.

I've used one of the online sites before. I think it was 5 or 10 dollars, you enter your IMEI code, the network and some phone info and it sends you the unlock code. Sorry, can't remember the site, but there are lots of reviews out there to find a good one.

I've used this website a few times and they have always been relatively quick to get you the code (usually within 24 hours).

Tried, not the same size chip unfortunately.

I've used EBay to get unlock codes for several phones. Just be sure to choose a top seller, and you're golden. Often, it's rather cheap, too.
