in It's gone, but was it any good?
Just bought this today, not sure if it's in all stores but it's the first time I've seen them in mine (Wakefield) as I 've been looking for a nice new moby

Alcatel OT-E230 in Fushia colour only £9.99, no catches, no need to purchase a top up with it, just pay the nice cashier £9.99

I've actually just put in my Virgin sim card and the phone works fine so possibly unlocked too, bargain!

Couldn't find a picture of the phone in the right colour, but this is the phone in white.

    Virgin Mobile uses the T-Mobile network so the sim cards can be used on T_mobile phones

    When I worked for t-Mobile this was not the case.. although they shared some of our network the phones were still locked to T-Mob ..

    So its a bonus if you can use the virgin sim.

    £20 in deals vouchers as you only get 500 points per phone.

    My understanding was that you could use a Virgin SIM in T Mobile locked phone, but a T Mobile SIM would not work in Virgin locked phone.

    Same as you can use a Tesco SIM in an O2 locked phone, but not vice versa.

    I didn't think that Virgin shared some of the T Mobile network, rather they leased capacity from it?
