The status in the earnings report is an indicator of where your transaction is.
If you look at your earnings and then click on the month on queston you will see the status is Tracked* (they only show as Tracked in the summary screen) so you have to click the month to get the detail. This is what Tracked* means

Tracked
The merchant has tracked your transaction but not yet validated it.

Tracked*
Same as above except this merchant will not explicitly validate your transaction. Unless it is denied, this transaction will next change to received when payment is received from the merchant.

Anyone know if the Siemens AX72 comes unlocked or how I can unlock it?

Haymish

The Siemans are all quite simillar so I think you need to open the phone remove the circuit board, remove a soldered RF cover cut a track under one of the chips on the PCB on the surface without cutting a track underneath this track(it is a multi layer board), connect via a serial cable (not the Siemans one) run some special software. Again I'm no expert and have NEVER manged to unlock a phone myself!!

I've posted some photos and details of my experiences with the £9.99 (£5 cashback via Quidco) Siemans A62 from Orange from Dec 05

Not easy. And if the cut is too deep the phone wont work again. I tried with the A62 got all the kit, torx, cable, soft, magnify tools, software and did not manage to do it yet! My progress (!) is charted here http://siemensa62.blogspot.com/ there is also a thread on the MSE forum for unlocking http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=139470&page=3&pp=10

You have three options:
1: Go to ebay and see if anyone are selling Sim cards that normally have £5.00 on it
EDIT: here's a link all the virgin sims available: http://search.ebay.co.uk/virgin-sim_W0QQfromZR18QQfsopZ1QQsspagenameZADMEQ3aBQ3aTB2Q3aUKQ3a2

2: Try and get hold of a free sim from Virgin, they sometimes have offers that they send out free sims.
3: Beg someone you know who has a virgin phone for there sim!!

Well that depends on what you want from a phone.For me they are good value for what I require. I wanted a phone I could keep in the car incase of problems or I forget my main phone. However it will have a dual purpose later on as my wife is due to give birth in November so I need a "hotline" that is seperate from everything else.

Tharweb - go to http://www.rpoints.com/hcp and fill in the pricematch form. That way you'll get the full £8 cashback that you would have got from Quidco

Cheers charlie12, I didn't know you could do that, however, "Your claim has been accepted. Note that Quidco deducts £5 from its members' earnings each year, and we reflect that in awarding Highest Cashback claims. Your latest claim takes your total claimed points to 300, so you would need to submit further claims in excess of 200 before we can award you any extra points"
