I'm particularly interested in a Nokia 6280. Has anyone had one of these from them?

    most pay monthly O2 mobiles (as far as i'm aware, all pay monthly O2 mobiles) are unbranded and unlock. irrespective of where you bought them from as long as they are pay monthly.

    6280 are all locked...

    due to the type of handset it is... you will get a branded handset and these are not yet unlockable. not even by a code

    Most handsets are sim free but this is not one of them

    Thank you. I'd better cancel or change my order as I want to use it on Vodafone.

    If it any help to you i got the 6270 from 02 and it wasnt locked and i think its the same kind of handset as the 6280 and if it not the same but the same as the 6680/n70 then i think these can be unlocked by the network, its only 3 who wont unlock handsets.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I phoned e2save today and they said it wouldn't be locked so I haven't cancelled.
