ill get proof that most phones are locked onto one network (im committed&#33

Well, you said all in a previous post, rather than most.

Like I said, my T610 (T-Mobile), my son&#39;s 7210 (Voda) my wife&#39;s 8310 (O2), my eldest daughter&#39;s 8310 (T-Mobile) and the V200 I had for 2 days (T-Mobile) were all supplied unlocked.

I&#39;d be interested if you found proof as it would be hard to dispute the experiences that I and others have mentioned.

it may kinda depend on where you get them from, as if u get them form the networks shops, or of the net, they may be locked. but out of somewhere thats sells all networks may just have stocks of phones which are unlocked already.

and i would think most PAYG phones would be locked.

but i think orange locks all there phones. but nokias are easy to unlock anyway.

This is a cool post...Newayz i gots a question&#33; Does the higher the number in the nokia model phones mean its better? Like would the 4500 be better then the 3000? ect ect..i dont have a phone lol

not really, just different series, like the 7210, then is the 7250,

where as you would also get the 6210, then the 6310.

Seems like Nokia is the weapon of choice around here.
For the record the only reason I have one is that it was free. Anyway this is mine -

Only its grey, not piss yellow.

can you use a PAYG SIM on a Pay Monthly phone?

of ourse you can, i do and just get it unlocked or opened up if you want to use it on a different netowork [/b][/quote]
This is prolly another n00bie question, but, when you see these offers in store like getting a phone on contract for free; do you have to sign up for the contract and everything before actually getting the phone? I don&#39;t know a thing about contract offers.

Also, why do so many people have poor, out dated mobile phones, yet they talk about having top spec PCs? The nerve of them&#33; (Only kidding).

It ain&#39;t like that at all.
Nokia split their phones into &#39;series&#39; depending on their functionality. For example, the 3000 series (3510, 3410, 3650 etc.) contains phones better for gaming, the 6000 series is more for the businessman and the 7000 series is more stylish than the others etc.
It is like a bit of a con though, because they&#39;ll release two phones at the same time, but in different series, and each one will have things the other doesn&#39;t, such as one will have four way scrolling and a colour screen and the other will have stereo ringtones, for example.
Hope that helps.
