    Final point. These Virgin Nokias CAN be unlocked for free - but the normal Trycktill calculator does not work. You'll need to ask around on more phone-centric forums. ;)

    I bought a Nokia 1100 from Amazon on the Virgin network and tried to unlock with the Trycktill calculator and it didn't work because it was already sim free.
    Just try putting another network sim in first.

    Good point, but both phones from VirginMobile online were locked to Virgin - so I would expect everyone to expect same probs I encountered if they but from this (cheapest) source. :)

    p.s. Edited the instructions to get the phone with £25 airtime for £23.99 for simplicity.

    I was at the checkout last night and the site went down, have just tried and its still that way. You can get into the main virgin mobile site but not the one account section or lifestyle rewards parts. Methinks they know whats going on.

    No, I think they just have a lot of trouble with it.. I've had several of these offers thanks to stub, but quite often the sites, or just one half, don't want to play! Keep trying though, it eventually comes up.. :)
