Hi everyone firstly, apologies for the cross posting as talks users will see this e-mail too. I wanna get as much advive as possible. I'm on Orange pay as you go and own an n-gage phone. I want to go across to Virgin mobile but I will have to unlock my phone to do this. I've checked compatability with my phone and the Virgin network on their website, all good! just two questions; first, can someone tell me how the phone is unlocked? what process do you go through to get it unlocked? can any tell me anything about that as, I know nothing about how a phone is unlocked and what it does to a typical mobile. Second question is; will it have any adverse effects on talks at all? I have talks on the mem card and not the sim mind you. So, I just need a little info based on others experiences with this and maybe a little assurance that it's not gonna be a very messy process. thanks for your help everyone.
