Re: Just got a new virgin sim but forgot my phones locked
Wondering what happens about locks when "everything everywhere" is finalized?

With virgin being a virtual network on T-mobile, Virgin sims (were said to) work on T-Mobile locked phones.

Now the "everything everywhere" network will consist of ex-Orange and ex-T-Mobile equipment, so unless sims can have a dual personality, there will be problems crossing between the two sides.

Not sure if you can get the cheaper ones this way, but in-store at carphone warehouse, they did my last phone as a "virginmobile upgrade", which meant taking my current phone number, not having a sim with it, and not having to buy a topup - if you could get one of the really cheap alcatels that way....
