    i dont think these can be unlocked yet (except by code from service provider) but i dont suppose it will be long before someone comes up with a way of doing them

    Anyone know if its possible to unlock this phone, decided to buy one for myself from Virgin, not a huge problem just now as I have a virgin contract which expires in November, however come november I am going to switch to PAYG again and will need to change the sim.

    Thanks.
    If at first you don't succeed - destroy all evidence that you tried.

    is it possible via code to unlock these two?

    Alcatel E259 on T-Mobile

    i am new to these forums and i think i have searched correctly but not found the answer.

    if its not possible by code, what are my options if any, including costs?

    Virgin will send you an unlocking code for their phones if you have spent £30 in credit on the phone, or in fact if you have been a long time customer of theirs :)

    no codes for this but you maybe able to do it your self with s/w from net and the correct cable, although safer to pay someone £10ish to do it
