T-Mobile and Orange???
Friday, December 19, 2003 by laws2kuk1 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Aparently form what ive been told the newer phones which you may buy with a contract from orange or T-Mobile are locked. By this I mean you cannot use another service provider sim card in it like O2, or vodafone.
Please tell me if you think OR know that this is true or not.

Whether you buy contract or Pay as you go... most times the phone is "Locked" to one provider. I know this is not the case all times... I recently bought a Nokia 3510i as a gift... It came with a T-mobile sim... but works with all 5 Virgin included!
If a phone is "Locked" it can be "Un-Locked" at just about any bootsale/market/independant phone shop for about a tenner or by yourself (if you buy the correct pc suite and connectors which you can then use to unlock friends phones for a small fee)
Try asking jeeves about unlocking phones.
Hope this helps.....
