expertec Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Are pay as you go mobiles locked to the network you buy them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Not necessarily ?I think Orange ones are.I've managed to put Virgin and Vodafone pay as you go sims in O2 mobiles recently - Nokia 3310s.I was told once that if the phones are at all branded (got the suppliers logo on the case) they're usually locked.At computer fairs you can usually find a stall where someone will unlock (recent) phones for you - I'm not sure of the legality though !

djohn Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 http://www.simpletelecom.co.uk/unlock/unlock2.php for £3.00 a go or this one http://www.unlock123.com/default.asp?currT...ferName=Unknown £4.99 or this one is free. Used it myself the other day and it works fine. http://www.unlockme.co.ukIt's perfectly legal to unlock your phone from an air-time provider and most of the high street shops will do it for about a tenner. j.

expertec Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 I've managed to put Virgin and Vodafone pay as you go sims in O2 mobiles recently - Nokia 3310s.I don't think 3310s can actually be locked :) Anyway I've got a new phone now, It's on the right network so it don't need to be unlocked. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
