Blue RAZRs on Orange - Unlocked?

A quick enquiry:

One of my friends is interested in buying the Blue RAZR V3 (on Orange) from e2save. The thing is - the phone is not listed on the orange website.

Is it possible that this is not an Orange branded phone and is unlocked to all networks?

Has anyone got any experience of buying a phone from e2save which is not standard in a specific network and whether it was unlocked or not?

Thanks again :)

    Orange 99 times out of 100 will brand and lock their payg phones but saying that I bought a couple of the Moto L6 pink phones last week on Orange from CPW and they were unlocked & unbranded.
    Best just phone them.

    Carphone Warehouse (and it's group companies like e2Save and OSPS) are 'authorised' by Orange to sell SIM free phones on Orange contracts. That means, that if the blue V3 is not officially distributed by Orange, then what e2Save will be a SIM free, unlocked and unbranded handset with an Orange contract SIM card pack.

    All of the officially distributed phones should appear on the Orange website.

    HTH.

    Just been notified that my Blue Razr V3 has been despatched from e2save, will let you know when I get it. Also received an email today detailing how to claim line rental cheques. :)

    Dont forget Quidco, was offering £41 for contracts on e2save but I believe is now £31.
