Unlocking a Nokia 6300?

Echo1 · 28-05-2009, 18:50

My 6300 is locked to Virgin, is there anyway I can unlock it or would it be best to take down the market and unlocked and unbranded?

Another question. Is s Virgin any good? I could sign up to the £10 a month plan, I guess. I have got the phone 2nd hand see.

Yeah, your market men will unlock it, but they will usually charge more for unbranding (couple or so more clicks of the mouse see)
So unless you really can't live with 'Virgin' popping up when you switch on the phone then leave the branding alone.
As for what network to go with, it's really a question of how you use your phone.
If you don't want any nasty bills then T-Mobile's Solo Lite is good. Once you've used your allowances you either wait til next month or buy a top-up. You also need to top up to send MMS or if you want to call numbers which aren't included in the plan (such as 0870, 0845 etc)
These deals come with free internet too.
