hi

looking to buy this phone for my dad.

they already have v220 so i wanted to get either same one or similar to avoid confusion for them. I have found v235 at woolies for 31.99. Only problem is they are with virgin and the v235 is with t mibile. Anyone know if this will be easy to unlock?

The majority of time, (probably 90%) a Virgin sim will work in a phone that is locked to T-Mobile (not the other way round though).


No free unlock.

ok, so there is a good chance I will be able to use avirgin sim in the v235.

If i but it and the virgin sims doesnt work, is it likely that the market stall guys who usualluy charge about £10 will be able to unlock it easily?

Easy peasy, It normally takes me about 30 seconds to unlock one of those, any market boy worth his salt should take no more than a minute to unlock it.
