    I thought the free trial of the TV part was for 90 days.

    My licences say they expire on 7 June 10am - any idea why?

    Added: And I should say I activated them on 7 May so 7 June is 30 days..

    TIA.

    Once the phone is unlocked - will it work with a 3 simcard at all?

    Thats right, looks at though the use of the TV expires after 90 days. :confused:

    No - it's not a 3G phone.

    Foxy lady, sorry can't help you with your licence issue but I have worked out a no-cost way of continuing the free TV after the three month trial.
    You only get 90 days free TV with PAYG, but if you have a Virgin contract the TV continues to be free. So I've ordered a Motorola L6 on a 12 month Virgin contract via e2save (free phone, full cashback, net monthly cost £0.00) (...and £46.50 Quidco cashback hopefully). I'm then going to put this contract sim in the lobster = free TV as long as the contract runs!
    And the PAYG sim and 200 minutes go on the free L6.

    Wish they would make their mind up! Won't let me have one for £19.99 :mad: My mate had no problem though & he called after me. All I have been offered is £10 credit on my sim card?

    If I use my 3 network sim, will I still be able to get/buy the TV bit?
