3Pay Nokia 7600 - factory resetting

rangers_fc

OK Maybe Im missing something here so could somebody please pm me a explanation please

I bought one of these Nokia 6700 contract phones from CPW thinking that it was a all in package i.e the call and text 600 time was included in the price. Now i find there is a lot of talk going on about unlocking this phone. If you unlock the phone from 3 to another provider surely you then do not get the call package? Please explain why people want to switch the phone to another network as I cant grasp this, if you switch or unlock the phone to all networks do you still get all the call time included from 3 ??? somebody please explain this to me ??? yours a confused money saver

ok in my case, i bought the same package as you the 7600 on the 3 contract. but i dont really like the design of the phone, so i also bought a nec e616v on 3pay from amazon, and what i have done is switch the sim from the contract 7600 into the nec phone, and i now plan to sell the 7600 with the 3pay sim, in my case the reason i want to get mine unlocked is that the phones have a higher resale value if they are unlocked.

once the phone is unlocked you have more choice, you can still use the 3 sim if you want, but you can also use other sims too. another reason for getting it unlocked and factory reset is once its reset you can lock the phone down onto 3's backup 2g network (run by o2), which is more reliable for making voice calls than its flaky 3g network.

How much credit do the 7600's from amazon come with ? ihave heard £2.50 and others who say £15 ???

scoob,
mine came this week with £15 airtime credit. I won't be using it as I sold it a couple of days ago for a small profit.
If the new owner goes to the CPW and sees the price for £65 then they'll know that they've had a bargain also.
Everyone happy ;D
