Just put the new sim card in and the phone will ask you for an 8 digit code, put the code in and hey presto sorted :T0 -
Please forgive my genuine ignorance...
How do you just buy the handset from Orange for £99.99?
When I've looked at their website, it makes you choose one of the animal plans and also a £10 top up. Aren't you tied into those animal top up plans for a year? I was hoping to buy one of these phones and use the £10 a month T-Mobile sim with it.0 -
I don't think you can just buy the phone, you have to buy the top-up, too. You are only tied into the animal plan as long as you use the phone on PAYG with Orange. Most people are buying the phone, using the £10 top-up then, having unlocked it, moving onto a sim-only deal with another network.If I've helped you please show your appreciation by using the "Thanks" button

Hi,
I have heard the music player is very poor on this phone - the speakers on the phone are not loud enough and very hard to listen to any music - Anyone who has used this phone can you conf if thats true?
