Buy phone from CEX?

Am thinking of trading my Iphone 4 32gb at CEX for £266
want to buy a mint Galaxy S3 locked to Orange for £435.

Am i right in thinking the S3 is easy to unlock to other networks.

Can anybody see any problems with doing this.

Cheers

    Are you not scared of the reported malware?
    Anyways , why not just buy an unlocked S3 without the bloatware?
    I can see them for £475 sim free.

    I don't understand how CEX do business - they charge high prices for the things they sell, oftem more than they can be bought for new.

    PLease don't.

    If you're OK with contracts, look at getting one for FREE on Three's ONE plan. The phone ends up costing £240 over the duration of the contract.
  • New plan - buy the S3 sim free and flog the Iphone to Carphone Warehouse.

    Can anybody point me to the cheapest place please.

    Cheers
