Greybeard 10 #1 Posted October 25, 2004 If I buy one of these... http://www.virginmobile.com/mobile/phones/MOT-STD-C200-1?actual=MOT-STD-C200-2B ...can I use the simm card from my old O2 phone in it ? I have about £11 credit left on the O2 simm and I hate throwing money away. Not all that keen on spending it in the first place, - but that seems to be a genetic trait of many Yorkshire folk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
wendy 10 #2 Posted October 25, 2004 Probably not as Virgin sim lock their handsets too. My best suggestion would be to try and get hold of a handset that has been unlocked or isn't sim locked in the first place. I suppose the other option would be to have that one unlocked once you have bought it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Greybeard 10 #3 Posted October 25, 2004 Many thanks Wendy...the light is beginning to dawn on this mobile phone business. Noticed a couple of places in town that do "unlocking" but never thought much about what was meant by this. Probably cost more than a tenner to have it done, but I suppose the old phone will be handy as a standby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ToryCynic 10 #4 Posted October 31, 2004 If your concern is getting your old mobile number - then you can by getting your PAC (Port Authorisation Code) from o2, tell Virgin and bob's your uncle. You can get it unlocked - not sure how much it is. AFAIK, there are one of two ways of doing this: 1) Dodgy guy does it down the pub 2) Legit - done at a store that has the write equipment/know-how of how to do it.
