Re: Unlocking a Virgin V3i

Hey to all,

I just received the V3i from LxDirect and yes, it is locked! called Virgin, need to indeed spend the £30 on credit and they will then send me a letter, up to 7 working days. Went down to a shop in town, they need to send my phone away, total cost £15, apparently guaranteed to work... some people offer to unlock the phone on ebay uk for less than that, what's ur expert advices on that?

such a pain those locked phone, any advice? Someone mentioned unlocking at Tesco for £10, was that for the v3 or v3i and only with phone bought at Tesco itself?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, forgot to add that as I went to ask at another shop (i think phones4u) the salesman mentioned that unlocking it not via the network (virgin) basically renders my manufacturer warranty void...

Any thoughts?

thanks again
