Hi everyone

I was looking to buy a Motorola L6 mobile phone. If I buy it on the orange network at £59.99 is there an unlock code so that I can use it on Virgin

Thanks
Kathy

    I've just got an L6 from The Mobileshop,12 months free by voucher redemption on O2 200 minutes and 50 texts per month.
    The best thing is, the phone is unlocked !
    I am now hoping the redemption process runs smoothly

    If you are buying from carephone warehouse (which sell it on orange at that price) the phone is already unlocked.

    You will not find a smoother redemption on the market. I have 3 contrcts with them and have had no problems whatsoever. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Basically, as long as you send it recorded delivery (with the right bill) they will email you to tell you that they received it. The only problem is having to wait 45 days from when the certificate expires (and believe me you will wait 45 days). As long as you realise this then there should be no problems.

    1) Have had 2 Motorola L6's from them - both phones were UNLOCKED:)

    2) Redemption process looks to be the most user friendly on the planet!

    Quite a few Orange branded phones are LOCKED to the Orange network - but you may just be lucky:)
