Steve,
Yes, I think that's the thing - they wanted me to have a PAYG and I
wanted to take out a contract. They would do contract but at a higher
price than I'd expected because of course they base the sim on the type
of phone and what you're doing with it. As they no longer sell the 6600
they base it on the 6630 and the lowest tariff they would offer me was
£25, for which they offered more texts and free time than Mike would
need.
Thanks for clarifying the legality of unlocking phones. I will not do
this unless I feel I have to and certainly am a little reluctant to do
it online myself.
Cheers.

Hi Carol,
Why won't Orange sell you a sim? They sold me a sim only pack, although
it was on PAYG, not contract. But to get it unlocked, go to an
independent phone shop, such as The Link, they may unlock it for you, or
we have a market stall in Stevenage that will do it for a tenner, so you
may have a market locally to you. It is common to find people who will
unlock phones in markets.
Finally, if you want to risk it, there are sites on the Internet, just
put unlocking phones into Google, where you can do it yourself. Be
warned though, if you do it wrong, you can sometimes render the phone
completely useless, so be very careful if you do decide to go this
route.
By the way, for those interested, unlocking phones is perfectly legal,
but the phone operators such as Orange, really don't like you doing
this.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] UNLOCKING PHONES AND PURCHASING SIM FOR CONTRACT
Hi all,
I have a Nokia 6600 which we'd like to use as a second phone in our
home. It is currently locked to Orange with a current copy of TALKS
installed, the licence of which is being transferred.
Can anyone give me advice on the best places to go to unlock the phone
for all networks and purchase a sim for use with a monthly payment plan
and not "Pay as You Go". (Orange weren't exactly helpful on this
yesterday and didn't want to sell me a sim without a phone.)
If I use an "unlock" code myself, am I likely to lose speech or have to
re-install TALKS and/or the phone's software afterwards?
Any help from those who know these things would be much appreciated on
or off list, thanks.
