Hi

I am going to buy this for my mum for Xmas. It's sold on the Virgin network - can anybody confirm if the phone is unlocked or not? We wish to use an o2 SIM

Many thanks

The phone comes locked to the network you buy it from but it can be unlocked to accept any network (apart from 3)

i work for the carphone warehouse & the truth is that there are two versions of the pink v3.

the virgin model is locked to virgin. it costs £129.99 but you also have to put a minimum £20 topup on it so it costs £149.99 all in.

you can also buy a foctory unlocked version for £149.99 on fresh mobile but you have to put a minimum £40 topup on it so it costs £189.99 all in.

to be honest mate, your better off buying the sony ericcson z520i. it has a pink replacement cover in the box & it's cheaper (£119.99 on 02 with a tenners credit in it & it's unlocked) it's also more reliable & has more included features.

hope this helps

you can get any phone on virgin unlocked once you have used £30 call credit and been with them for a month - just contact the customer services once you have reached both of those.
They sort it out without any problem - i emailed them and had it done with an old virgin phone when i upgraded
