Virgin Lobster mobile phone with built in DAB and TV

georgiac

My Lobster arrived and is great, TV quality incredible for size and price, radio perfect.

I'm hoping to unlock the phone and use my work's 02 sim card in there, if I do how will I go on about the TV registration and license?

You need to have a virgin sim in to licence the TV (and pay for the licence when that becomes necessary), but once it's licenced you don't need to keep a virgin in. (Though you will need to pop in a virgin each month to renew the licence)

I do wish that Virgin CSR's would be more sure of the facts before making statements.

THEY HAVE NO MORE RECON FONES IN STOCK!!!!!

They only have the £39. NEW stocks.

I was told 2 days ago on 789 at Virgin that recon phones are never orderable by phone, it has to be done online (if there are any showing there). Fact or fiction?

Will any virgin sim do, for example the argos on mentioned earlier on here or does it need to be aspecific one for the tv to work?

Just a note for those who did not get 200mins on a refurd phone. I was told by Virgin sales when I first took out the phone that if I got the joining pack then I would get the offer. However no 200mins voucher came.

I rang and complained and got a result today £10 added to my number better than 200mins as I can leave it on the account for longer than 2 mths.

When it says it comes with 30mb memory for pictures and tunes, you can supplement this - i take it with the standard memory cards, so I could buy a 2gig one and treat this as an MP3 player ?

Thanks

i think it takes micro sd cards
