    Can the phone advertised on the amazon site be unlocked easily? It's the Sony Ericsson J220i Vodafone Prepay Mobile Phone - Silver

    AT £19.99 it is very tempting but i already have a O2 sim which has £30 credit on it and i don;t want the hassle of a new number....

    i dont think its easy to unlock SE J220i.
    also,in virgin sometimes they send you unlock phone,but if its locked you cant unlock some models such as nokia 1110,1600.

    Why not consider a contract ?

    There are phones out there (e2save spring to mind) that can be got on contract where the line rental is refunded by redemption.

    Additionally, by going via Quidco the commission for taking out the deal may well cover any shortfall in line rental v refund.

    However, I went via Quidco and got £36.50 commission back.

    .

    I wouldn't rely on Quidco casback, I ordered mine through them in July and still haven't got the cash back. :mad: It was declined and an enquiry was sent. I wish I'd gone through R points now :rolleyes:

    The Motorola C975 from Superdrug may be cheap but it has the worst battery life I have ever known on a phone.
