I forgot to ask, assuming I get to the right checkout page and get my phone, I am not bothered which network I am on (currently orange PAYG) but DO want to keep my existing number, is this what unlocking will allow me to do? do I go from orange to virgin with my old number and new phone or use my £20 credit up with virgin and use the new phone with my orange PAYG? I apologise if that is not very clear and for being a bit dim about this.

cheers

emh - it's easy to do, as I've just done exactly that (keep orange PAYG Tel No but transfer to Virgin network...having bought nokia 1100). Call Orange and ask for something called a PAC Number. Then notify virgin of PAC number. You will be given a date 3-7 days ahead when the transfer will become effective. Only thing to watch out for is any credit on your Orange account....use it or transfer it to another orange PAYG user (otherwise it's lost!). Virgin will send you a new swipe card (with your old tel number on it.... for topping up). Good luck!

Yippee! I finally got it to work as well, ordered one for me and one for hubby (had to order them seperately for some reason)

thanks once again (little 'jumping for joy' man if only I knew how to add him)!!

Easiest way to find the little jumping for joy man is, go to your UserCP (control panel) down the side you will find Settings and Options, go to Edit Options where you can change various settings for pm, viewing pages (you can change the forum default here from viewing 10 posts a page to 40). Down at the bottom of this page you will find Message Editor Interface, change the default to Enhanced Editor and remember to save changes.

Once you have done that you will find when you reply to a post you will have a variety of options along the top of the box you reply in. One will be a white smillie, click on that and a drop down box of all the smillies will appear and just click on the one you want to use and it will appear in your reply box.

Can someone please help me unlock my Nokia 1100? That'd be very handy indeed!

Can you post your request on the end of the Unlocking for Nokia's thread at the top of the board, for the quickest answer

I bought the 3510i from Orange courtesy of this site a couple of months ago. I unlocked it, again thanks to this site, and have used my own sim since. I still have the orange PAYG sim, how do I use it for the Orange Wednesdays 2 for 1 Film Offer? and how much would I have to spend/ how often would I have to top up?

Text 'FILM' to 241 whilst using your Orange Sim (without the 's) and they will immediately text you back a code to show at the Cinema Box Office for the following Wednesday.
See their website for full details and participating cinemas http://www.orange.co.uk/entertainment/film/cma/overview.html .
You are charged 10p for their text - but it saves you over £5 at the cinema. I have only topped up once with £5 on mine and have no problems getting tickets. Hope this helps, PM me if you have any problems.
