Questions about the Ascend g300.

I'll be picking up one of these in the next week and it'll be my first Android phone. I have a few questions though.

I've heard the speaker/ringer is pretty low but an update will fix it. Is this true?

Also, how hard is it to unlock? Are the unlock codes from ebay reliable?

Thanks.

Yes, the update will fix it.

Easy to unlock.

No idea about eBay codes.

I got mine from this seller code was emailed about 24 hrs after payment.You just put another sim in the phone and enter the code.

If you look on the Modaco forum you can get step by step info on unlocking the phone - as well as rooting and flashing new ROMs

I have a G300, unlocked as stated.
I have followed the Modaco instructions and have successfully loaded ICS.

Is it true that some g300s come already unlocked? And how would I find out if the phone is unlocked?

You wont find out until you bought it - just try your existing sim

My money will be on it being locked - prolly to Vodafone

I already had a contract sim with Talkmobile/CarphoneWarehouse/Vodafone so it works fine without unlocking

but I've read lots of people unlocked via Ebay for £5 as Axevictim has already posted - so you could do that with confidence - just use a recommend seller you know works - again as per Axevictim already posted

I've had the phone for two days now and everything mainly seems to be in order. The ringer is still a bit low even with the update but it's fine enough for me so far. I unlocked it easily and changed to O2. I have a question though, and it's not really about the phone:

I ordered a new sim from O2 and then topped it up £10 today. That was fine but I didn't get any free minutes, texts, internet, etc. O2 then sent me a text saying that I should phone their number to set up my allowance. I did that and chose a tariff (Pay and go go go). It said they would send me a text confirming it but I still haven't got it yet. How long do you have to wait for O2 to confirm it?
