I can see two options, patch unlock 10 Euro and unlock 35 Euro, what is the difference? I will have a look in town today as well to see how much it is.

patch unlock means that you apply a patch with the unlock code to the main firmware of the phone (and you loose the unlock when you reflash the phone) and the more expensive one means that the phone is permanently unlocked no matter how many times you reflash the phoneon this page: https://davinciteam.com/buycredits.html?pro=uk

Having gone over all of my options, I think I'm going to just pay virgin for the unlock code. I have emailed asking them whether I can recieve the code through e-mail rather than the post. I remembered I have still got over £20 worth of credit from the free sims i got from virgin, plus the £10 I got when i bought my mobile. Now I'm going to try to put all the credit onto one sim and ask them to take the £15 for the code out of my credit.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

I have just rung up to buy the unlock code. They said it's not a virgin mobile so they cannot get the unlock code for me and advised me to go to a retailer like Argos or Carphone Warehouse. I bought my mobile from mobiles2yourdoor so I'm going to ring them up and ask for it. Or I might go to my local phones4u store and ask them as phones4u own mobiles2yourdoor.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
