    Agreed! I have found them extremely helpful. However Í'm moving later this year where the only strong signal is vodaphone.
    I have purchased a Siemen's A60 mobile phone but I understand that it isn't possible to unblock it.
    That's a pity! :(

    Who told you that?

    It is possible, not easy but it is possible.

    Contact Virgin and they may well do it for free if you spend £30 on top-up credit.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    e2save told me today that Virgin have their own network, I know previously they were with the old one to one. Does anyone know if this is true. If its definately one to one then I will definately not go with them.

    + however may £2 coins I have saved in my Terramundi since 2000.

    Virgin Mobile piggyback T-Mobile and will do for another 10 years at least.

    Sure you will be able to get it done for less than that, without having to top-up, can any other MSE'rs help here?

    As long as you have spent £30 since having Virgin Mobile they will unlock it, that £30 could have been in £5's over two years!
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
