    Ok, guys, after 12 days my OVIVO sim finally arrived, it comes with its own number, I have a PAC code to move from orange, can someone talk me through what to do next?

    Thanks

    It's explained on the Ovivo Site:

    http://support.ovivomobile.com/support/solutions/articles/163310-bringing-your-number-to-ovivo

    I did it via the form, it asks for your current Ovivo Number, the one you are bringing in (from Orange in your case) and the PAC. I think that was it.

    When I ported, my SIM was (and still is) in a phone with a removable battery. I did not remove it, nor the SIM. I simply powered the phone off and on several times during the day. By about 2pm the Ovivo SIM was up and running.

  • Where is the cheapest place to buy this currently, any better than Argos £140?
  • My tesco 8gb moto g (unlocked with a £2 code from eBay) did its update to 4.4.2 yesterday. Even though I was on talkmobile at the time (all be it over WiFi). So far so good!

    I got a Tesco 8GB and unlocked via SMGreen on ebay for £2, easy to do. The voicemail number can be changed and the only other Tesco stuff I can see is under the Sim Toolkit where it has shortcuts to Tesco PAYG stuff... I can't see any other Tesco bloat at all.

    Most pleased with the phone, solid feeling (better than the dummy version I held in the shop), responsive, fast GPS. Not sure on battery life, seems to drain quicker than my older Moto Defy but maybe a couple of full charges and optimisation will sort that out.

    Get one now!

    You can get unlock codes and 'network' de-branders.

    Sound like your looking at the 8GB SIM Free version.

    Amazon have that at £129.99, you can pre-order for stock coming in 15 Jan.

    O2 have it on PAYG £129.99, fine if your on O2 but otherwise probably locked but would cost you £2 to get unlocked.

    phones4u have the 8GB on PAYG at £129 (119.95+£10 topup) but the 16GB is £149.95 (£139.95+£10 topup) across any networks so you could buy one for the network you use and not need unlocking or get the £2 unlock.
