I am not sure but if this is the old 616 then be careful battery life is crap but if its the new 616v then you will be okay.
they can be unlocked but only by cable BEWARE if you do a code unlock then it resets everytime you switch off and it prevents you from doing a cable unlock later.

There is guy on here who has posted a few times about this called mobile solutions.

Hope this helps.

they got the V version at carphonewarehouse same price, or at Amazon they are 39.99 (and use a voucher to make them 35.50) but they are a 4-6 week delivery schedule at amazon

Thanks everyone...although I don't have a Makro card and couldn't find this phone on the car phone warehouse!


The reviews I read after reading your reploes don't rate it very highly though :-/

cheers Gus

Walking around Meadowhall today, noticed that most of the phone shops are advertising the NEC phone at £45 with £15 airtime included.
