Title: Phone Unlocking
Post by: Bacon on June 05, 2010, 23:52:06 PM
Tempted to buy a Samsung SGH-U800 on Ebay, can anyone tell me either:

How easy it is to unlock?
Cost of unlock?
Anyone on here doing unlocks these days?

Its locked to T-Mobile and i want to use a Virgin Sim Card. From reading other listings it appears it might be unlocked to Virgin anyway, but i know nothing about mobiles.

Also considered a Samsung G600 or a Nokia 6303. All three phones are available on Argos Clearance on Ebay.

Virgin dont have their own network. If they use t-mobile you wont need to unlock it.

Ive not bought the phone yet, wanted to make sure first. I did have a read about tonight, it turns out Virgin use the T-Mobile network for their phones and a Virgin sim should always work in a T-Mobile phone but not always the other way around.
