I am a bit of a mobile novice and need some help.
I have bought my daughter a Motorolla V171 for her birthday and is locked into Orange.( nice and cheap so not a big deal if gets lost)

She already has a virgin sim card and it doesn't like it. I can go out and buy an orange sim but wondering if this can be unlocked and her original sim used.Just not sure how to go about it or is can be done.

I don't mind going into a shop but not sure which one etc.

Cheers

    It probably can be unlocked but i'm not sure how to unlock Motorola's. It probably will need a Data Cable and will cost approx £5-£15 to be done.

    I've got a few spare Orange PAYG Sim Cards if you want one sent!

    That would be great if you wouldn't mind.
