    Is it true that non-3G phones won't work on the 3 network? I just bought a Samsung S5230 with the hope of using it with a 3 sim card. Will this work or will I have to sell it on?

    Hi there

    I just wanted to jump on to make sure you all know that most phones on Vodafone can be unlocked.

    If you are on contract this is free.
    If you are on Pay As You Go and have had the phone for more than 12 months it's also free.

    To see more info click here.

    All the best

    Technically a non-3G phone will function on Three. However, Three is a pure 3G network and they pay another operator (presently Orange) to enable customers to "roam" on a 2G network when there is no 3G signal. Since this incurs additional costs, Three make it a condition of service that customers use a 3G phone.

    Three can tell if you are using a non 3G phone on their network and they will text you to remind you of your contractual obligations to use a 3G phone - also warning you that they will terminate your service should you not install the SIM in a 3G phone.

    This threat is strictly enforced so you have two choices. Sell on the phone and replace it with any (unlocked or locked to Three) 3G phone or move to another network.

    I'm with T-mobile and my Samsung F480 isn't blocked. Does anyone have a netwrok unlocking code that'll work for me? :huh:

    I found this code, which apparently has worked on others' Samsung F480. But it didn't work on mine :confused: It just says "Network Unlocking Code Incorrect", but see how you get on:

    With the current sim in enter: #7465625*638*00000000*00000000# Then enter #7465625*638*00000000# confirmation should show (note, when you first start entering the code, after 638* you'll just see ----, which apparently is normal.
  • Hi, can anyone help i need an unlock code for my seimens CL75 IMEI 356328002326267.

    Thanks Jo

    hi all. Need to unlock an Orange Samsung Soul phone. Can this be unlocked free from anywhere like a lot of Nokias? Also, I notice that a few ebay sellers are selling an unlock code for this phone

    eg
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Samsung-U900-Soul-Unlock-Code-Cheapest-At-99p_W0QQitemZ220508076159QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MobilePhones_MobilePhones?hash=item33574e387f

    Is this a generic code? Will it work on all Samsung Soul's? Where can I find it free ? :)
