According to Nokia Canada the 3555 is a quadband phone. If it's unlocked it will work in Europe with local SIMs.

To determine if your phone is unlocked you need to try a non-Rogers/SO/PCM SIM, e.g. a Fido SIM (or any foreign SIM.) If using that SIM you can connect to a Canadian network then the phone is unlocked.

The Nokia 3555 I bought from PCM is locked because it will not work with a Fido SIM. However, it will work with a Rogers SIM.
Does anyone know how/where I can get it unlock so that I can put in a new SIM when I travel to Asia?

Because PCM and SO operate on Rogers' network.

Links to several unlocking sites have been posted on this forum, e.g. here. These sites charge money for their service. I have no persona experience with any of them.

If you want to gamble, wait until you get to Asia, then when you go to a local cellphone store to get a SIM, ask them to unlock your phone. Another option is to buy a local phone/SIM/airtime package in Asia. Sometimes that's cheaper than paying to get your own phone unlocked.
