    I've completed my unlocking - I think if you can it's probably less stressful doing it down the market for a fiver - although if you can cope with the stress and are vaguely technically minded, you can save yourself a fiver and do it with the software and cable. ;)

    The V547 is a better version than the V500 that I own. In my opinion, it is a much better quality phone than the V220. The V547 also has video capabilities.


    Oh yeah, i know it's a totally better phone. It also has bluetooth! It's those phones I want.

    But will I get them...........?

    :)
  • Got my £14.99 phone today (opted for free postage which has paid big dividends)

    “ due to unprecedented high demand for special offer…………..we are out of stock of V220.…………we have enclosed a replacement handset of a Motorola V547.…… we apologise for any inconvenience”

    Wow - what was already a fantastic offer has just got better - I now have Bluetooth as well as video and a charger/ instructions included - and even better it is already unlocked!!!!
    Big thanks to Johntea for original post.
  • will the V547 accept the 3G simcards?

    Well done to 02 i say for sending out the V547's in replacement of the V220. They could easily have just canx our orders and told us they had run out of stock - not mentioning any names - but instead have offered a higher grade replacement for free (currently showing as £59.99 on their website - reduced from £79.99).

    Thanks again op - my daughter will be v happy on her birthday next week :)
  • me 2 recieved V547, with charger & manual. Its better than V220, Hmmmmm VGA Camera, 640x480 pixels, video, TFT, 65K colors, Bluetooth,MP3 Ringtone and much much more :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

    I got two V547's, delighted, thankyou OP.
  • I got the 547 today and when I put my Virgin SIM in it asks for a subsidy code. I guess that means its locked.

    Many thanks to original OP

  • Is it a good phone to buy for my 15yr old at £59.99 or is there somewhere cheaper?
