    cpw mobiles are usually sim free (but just check before you buy)
    these can be unlocked if needed but not for free

    Before i purchase the siemens sl75 on virgin from the carphonewarehouse, does anybody know if it can be unlocked to accept an orange simcard.

    Many Thanks

  • Yes the SL75 can be unlocked at a cost of £10-20, you may be lucky as phones from the carphone warehouse usually are sim free so it may be already unlocked.
  • can you tell me how to do this, and Have read about clips, and cables.

    the phone is LG u880

    network 3

    imei 357050-00-928615-8

    I have the original usb cable, and CD.

    If I need a clip (dont know what this is) what one, and where could I get one?

    I am in Dorset.

    Many thanks
