CJ Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Does anyone know of any good deals for O2 payg phones? I acquired 2 payg sim cards for my sons that represent great vfm but didn't realise that the Sharp phones they currently have (GX10i and GX20i) will only work on the Vodafone network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Can they not be 'unlocked' Cj? I haven't got a clue. I assumed that they were manufactured to only work with Vodafone. Anyone know if they can be unlocked? And, if so, how does one go about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt T Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Any local phone shops? You know, facia places etc...? Vodafone should be able to give you the codes but youll have to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.B Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Had a quick look and it seems that any phone can be unlocked in some way or another to work on any network. This site is a quick example that includes the GX10i - no GX20i though. Seems damn expensive however. The highstreet shops that do it are usually quite dodgy looking places.

terribleturner Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I got a mates GX20 unlocked about a year ago inCamden and they asked £30. But i'm sure as Tepster says, you can get it don for a tenner. There's a bloke in Slough high street who does it if you ever find yourself down there one Saturday/Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 After all the great advice yesterday, I managed to find a local place who will do the necessary for £20 per phone. one and all - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
