I think you might be able to get it unlocked from a local independent mobile phone store, but otherwise Virgin.

i have had virgin locked phones before and if you have used about 30-40 pounds worth of credit they unlock it for free at least that was the case 6 years ago

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply,i have just been in touch with virgin mobile and stumped up the £15 they asked for to unlock the phone from the network,did not seem to be too bad a charge,seems well in line/below with what one of our local shops would charge. To tell the truth i was very sorry to leave virgin mobile the customer service was brilliant, only let down by patchy 3G coverage in our area via T-mobile, which is what i wanted.

I would have been quite happy to buy a 3G phone off of vm and stay with them otherwise,when unlocked i intend to use the W610i as a spare phone to use if my nokia N95,gets problems.
