    It is a 3G phone so now it can't work with simcards from other networks....

    Sure it may be a low price for PAYG, but it is not a very good phone now is it...Need two hands to text on it due to the screen being in the middle, doesn't support all of the 3G feature (severly limited) and even as a plain standard phone it isn't very useful due to the speaker and microphone layout...

    Fashion statement perhaps...So to me this is still £29.99 spend too much, except for those who really want this phone...

    So what am I missing here =:-) I am getting confused about what the excitement is of this deal....

    it's a reasonably high spec phone for £29.99(£45) that is worth £70+ on ebay

    why pay the same price for a 3510i or something similar

    Re Nokia 7600 - Does anyone know if they can be unlocked to work on BT PAYG?


    Yes it can be unlocked to work on all networks. It can be done easily and for FREE!

    assuming you are in an area where no one is distributing a 3G signal aswell, how many times are we going to cover this point?
  • I called into Carphone Warehouse yesterday & they were out of stock of Nokia 7600 but awaiting further delivery. What the shop assistant did tell me was that you are required to purchase a £15 voucher every month if you do not use all your money you lose it for that month! To anyone who is a low user like myself you are not going to benefit

    no suited for you unless you can either

    1.get unlocked/ reset and use a different PAYG simcard
    OR
    2. Get hold of a 3toGo sim
    OR
    3. Buying to sell on

    well according to three's website, they totally cover the area I live with a 3G signal

    I unlocked my phone using one of the popular online unlock websites and it works perfectly using my O2 sim card. I'm currently using the £15 3 sim card until it runs out of credit and then back to my O2 one after that.

    and when that happens, I'll pay my tenner and get it reset.

    still a great price for the phone .......
  • :) Hi there everyone. I was so interested in this phone (as many other people obviously were) that I decided to go to my local CPW. As many of the other CPW's around that I phoned (get it - phoned!!) they told me that they were out of stock for a while. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how long this offer was on for and if their local CPW stocks any now? Thankyou, PandaBear ;D
