Sim cards - help needed!
My phone is an Orange fone. It got an Orange logo on back.
Is it possible to use a Virgin sim card on this phone? |

I think I tried a Orange sim card in a Virgin phone a while back and it worked. Don't quote me on it though!

How to unlock your Orange handset
If your phone is a Nokia, it can be unlocked for FREE, by yourself, over the internet. You generate a code based on the phone's serial (IMEI) number, type in into the phone, and away you go.
Some other manufacturers' phones can also be unlocked this way, although Motorola and Sony Ericsson usually need taking to your local market. Have a look at the sticky (top) threads here for further details. |

SIM cards are very easy to get hold of, either directly from the network, your local supermarket or market trader. The cheapest source, apart from the free offers, is usually Ebay. Just check that you're dealing with a reputable source, and you shouldn't need to pay more than a couple of pounds for a new, sealed, SIM card. You might even get a memorable ("gold" or "platinum") number. HTH |
