    alec2507,

    Is the Sagem a new phone, or have you had it connected to Virgin for long?

    The reason I ask, is that once you've creditted the phone with £30+ they'll give you the unlock code for free.

    To those asking, AFAIK Sony Ericsson phones require either a Dongle with software to unlock, or a data cable and credit on a website that does remote unlocking.

    PeteM,
    I got the phone from my sister for my daughter, so the chances are she has credited it with more than 30 pound but she threw the virgin sim away can it be done without the sim card

    I can help you if you want, PM me...

    PS. All phones on 3 will need to be reflashed if you want them to work on 2G Networks, because they are set to 3G!

    Is your phone blacklisted? Ie. Stolen or Lost? If so, then it won't :)
