  I would give a guess and say you won't need to unluck, i only say this on the basis that Vigin and One2One are using the exact same network, Virgin just stick their name on it....
  
  But, i couldnt garentee this, the fone might still not accept a foreign sim, try using someone elses to test it.

  Yeah I have done it many times before, so indeed it will work.
  
  Virgin also (don't know if this has changed recently) are the only network currently to supply you with your phones unlock code free of charge, so in theory all virgin phones are able to work on all the UK networks...

  Many Cellnet ones are unlocked anyway. What fone is it? and is it Pay and go, U, or Pay monthly?
  
  Pay monthly are genrally unlocked, some pay as u go ones are, and no "U" phones can be unlocked

  I hate to throw a spanner in the works, but I just got Virgin and a new Virgin handset (Siemens S35i) and tried to put my 1-2-1 SIM in it, but it wouldn't work.
  
  Putting my new Virgin SIM in my old NEC 1-2-1 handset worked fine and also a friend's Siemens C25 1-2-1 handset worked, including Virgin extras. I could have ported my old number across to Virgin, but I couldn't be bothered to wait a month, so have just gone with the new number Virgin issued me.

  Go to Virgin.com and click on the Virgin Mobile link and then find the relevant info where it tells you to type numbers/symbols into your phone and if the right number comes up then your phone is compatable.
