    I've just got off the phone from Orange, they could not do the Nokia 6500 for £8.50 a month.
    Instead i'll be paying £9.78 a month. So 22p less than i pay already, as i pay £10 a month on PAYG.

    Hi Judderman,

    You say you were paying £10 pm on PAYG and you also got the above deal.

    Were you on Orange PAYG and they gave you this Orange deal?

    Please can you help?.
  • Grimlea, as you work for Virgin mobile, do you know if I could apply online for the £10 a month sim only, 200 txts, 200mins (liberty sim is it?) but keep the number I have now? I'm interested in applying online as I would like to go through a cashback site.:confused:

    As long as you create an online account with virgin b4 hand, which is linked to your number & log in before ordering u should b ok

    i don't know much about cashback sites, do they work on non contract deals?

    Thanks, that's good to know. I have an online account already. Some cashback sites offer a lower amount for some SIM only deals I think, although I haven't checked that properly.

    Those of you who got the G600 and wish to unlock it here is how to do it.
    Thanks to posters on hotdeals I got mine unlocked.



    1-Turn on the phone without sim card .
    2-Pull off the battery cover and insert any non-accepted sim card (without turning off the handset)
    3-Do full reset *2767*3855# , phone will reboot and goes to Menu .
    Saved any data you have as it will reboot to factory settings.
    4-Customize Sp-lock code *7465625*638*00000000*00000000#
    5-Unlock your phone with new SP code #7465625*638*00000000#
    6-Enjoy G600 unlocked

    Actually, check your splock status first(*#7465625#).if it
    says "splock active" you must deactivate it with the extra steps below.

    If the SP lock is still on after you have did the temporary unlock follow below-

    add the codes below (don't power off)

    reactivate network lock, *7465625*638*00000000*00000000#.

    Deactivate the sp lock , *7465625*77*00000000*00000000#,

    enter #7465625*77*00000000# (to disable the sp lock).

    Then disable the network lock #7465625*638*00000000# and
    the phone is finally unlocked permanently

    Believe me this is not the only problem I have had. I would never have another Virgin phone on a contract.

    if you read the forums *ALL* the mobile co's have horror stories about them when people cancel, they are all just as bad as each other.

    I currently get my bill by text,which is OK but I thought if I logged in to my account I would be able to view my bill in more detail.
    This is not happening.
    DAK if in order to view my bill I need to change from text to online billing?

    Does anyone have details of the mobiles that Virgin are currently offering with this deal? I am trying to click through on their website by inputting my account number and it keeps returning a system error. I know I had a flyer with my bill recently, but I threw it away!

  • Perservere with it, I had the same problem last month. Took a good few attempts to get through!
