Look Here

O.K. It's £19.99 but comes with £5 airtime = £14.99

Buy thru quidco & get £5. off = £9.99.

Also come with a voucher for a diff colour front so doesn't have to be pink.

It's on Virgin but not locked BTW

    I'm surprised it's unlocked - Virgin stuff normally isn't. However, if you buy £30 of credit (it has to be in addition to what's supplied on it) then they will provide you with an unlocking code for free. Unless, that is, they claim that it is not their phone, which they did in my case... but that's another story!

    Bought a couple of these and got them Christmas Eve. They are definately not unlocked.

    They are pretty good though, if you want a funky looking phone (in pink) and dont want a camera then they are excellent. Gave one to my Sister for Xmas as she is already on Virgin and shes well impressed. Feels like a £50 or more phone.

    Highly recommended

  • I bought 3 just before xmas and all of them were unlocked and unbranded.

    Hmmm.

    Well I was told that they were unlocked so it seems that some are and some ain't.

    Received mine this morning. I can confirm that its the J300i (not J300) and it is unlocked. In addition to the supplied Virgin SIM, it readily accepted O2 and Tesco with no problems.
    The more demure white cover is on its way to replace the rather 'sudden' pink cover that is comes supplied with, courtesey of the free voucher included :)

    (Incidentally, this very phone is currently available from Tesco for £59.99. So a good find Rizla01, and thanks for the tip off).

    Dont think they come unlocked.
    When you recieve them and you put a orange or o2 etc, it will lock it to that network. Try putting the virgin sim and see if it works(it wont) or any other sim. It will only work on the 1st sim you put in, so be carefull, only put in the network sim you want to use.

    Hope this helps you.

    I've never heard of this before. Is it just a theory or a known fact :question: :think:
  • tried to order a couple of these: one for myself and one to sell.

    phones4u would not accept the order due to security issues with my debit card!!!

    they said the address i inputted part of and their system generated the remainder of did not match *exactly* with my card's address.

    advisor wouldn't budge.

    went to change my address manually online; phones4u site doesn't let you.

    oh well; phone4u's loss....wasn't that bothered anyway.
