(Virgin SIM cards should work in phones locked to T-Mobile & you have tried the other networks)
Cool just need to wait till i get one of my many free ones.hopefully.
But i got the link a few days before it closed so maybe i wont get any.
Thanks guys
I thought in the main phones were locked to a specific network code (e.g. 234 15 for Vodafone UK). I know there are some cases where there is a operator/service provider lock, but I thought these were very much in the minority.
I did have an old Siemens S3 that was locked to Peoples Phone as it's service provider & Vodafone, but thats the only time I've personally seen this.
So if i try my o2 sim and it dont work it will be locked to t-mobile?
though to confuse you even more, T-Mobile sim's WONT work in a Virgin phone
What is the handset in question, that would help.
Or it could be locked to Tesco Mobile.
Old Nokia 3210
Anyone know when Tesco mobile started up.
Not that sure but wasn't it about 2 years ago
With regard to unlocking, this thread might help.....

These phones are really easy to unlock..... only if you know which network it's locked too and the IMEI number (under your battery).
In order to unlock it i need to know wich network it is locked to,i have unlocked a few 3510i' and sold em on Ebay and unlocked a few others.
IMEI number i have but the network i dont,actually i think someone tried to unlock it before and failed,has a message i havent seen before.
I think it is unlikely to be locked to tesco then,thanks
Just need to wait for my o2 sims,if i ever get any lol
Does anyboy know if I could use a Virgin sim in a T-mobile Siemens MCT-62??
Yeah it will
