Hi there i have a Motorola that is asking for a subsiy code each time i insert my O2 sim card works with virgin. I was just wondering if it was possible to do it yourself with a USB cable or some sort of code, i took it to the shop today but its no longer there!and i really want to use my new phone.

Any suggestions please?

Looks like the phone is locked to Virgin.

You will need to get it unlocked before it will accept a sim card from another network.

you can do it with the usb cable - you need it to connect to a sever and i will cost £10 -£15

You can unlock it i have just done mine you need a usb cable which is the standard one whihch came with the phone. You can buy the software needed from ebay It's £12 it takes a couple of minutes to unlock and i found it was quite simple:
Here's the detail to the one i bought:

ebay item number :9119368285

Good Luck

Hi there thanks for that, it cannot be locked to Virgin as it accepts, T Mobile and Virgin simcards, but for some reason not my O2 one.

you may find virgin share with tmob but will still need unlocking for other n/works

Hi there the phone cannot be locked to virgin as it accepts T Mobile chip, will they give me the code if i ring T Mobile?

Virgin Mobile use T-mobile to route their calls as they "piggy back" that Network, hence it works on both those networks but not O2

if you have spent more than £30 on top-ups with Virgin then ring Virgin customer service and they will unlock it for free

otherwise take it to your local Market and get it unlocked for £10

Virgin will give you the code for free if you have topped it up with at least £30. But be aware they do not have the code for all there phones ! Friend had one from CPWH and they couldn't unlock it, said CPWH must have locked it. Worth checking before you put credit on ot. They took it to the local market and got it unlocked for £12.
