Unlocked networks ?

SmileyHappyBeing

Hi

Does anyone know which places sell mobiles that arent locked to any network, i.e it is sold as a 'virgin' phone but you can use any sim in it..

Many thanks...

usually places that sell for more than one network have unlocked phones such as carphone warehouse, phones 4u etc

But would you be able to find that out at time of buying ?

Just ask them, if it is unlocked they'll be happy to tell you, I suppose it's a selling point.

Carphone warehouse definitely does - they sold my mum a Nokia on T-mobile (she's on O2) because it was cheaper than buying the O2 version

Some CPW shops can be quite cagey about it.

Should be fairly clear, the sim free (unlocked one's) will be a lot more expensive as there's no network subsidy on them...
