Considering my background in electronics and telecomms, I am a total mobile newbie, so I need to ask this question:
My daughter BOUGHT a mobile (Nokia 5200), then BOUGHT a VM SIM and got their Pay-as-you-go service.
Finding it too expensive, she now wants to change to Orange, but apparently has to pay a 3rd Party up to £20 to "unlock" her phone so that she can swap service provider.
I would have thought that changing supplier would mean simply changing to the new supplier's SIM card and registering.
Or are we being ripped-off again?
:dunce:
