my mrs wants me to get her the nokia 5530 illuvial for christmas but i cannot find it on orange pay as you go. carphone warehouse have the phone for £99 on O2,Virgin mobile or vodaphone but wondered if i buy it on one of these networks will the phone be sim free as some phones are. handset only cost is £199 which i'm not going to pay.

if its not sim free when buying from CPW on one of those networks then, where is the best place online that i can get it unlocked at minimal cost. i believe nokias only require inputting a code and dont need to be flashed,( correct me if i'm wrong)

i know there are a few of you on here that work for mobile companies so would be great if you could point me in the right direction,

cheers

You sure they have it for that?

I think in illuvial it's 120, 110 + 10 airtime on whatever network.

Not sure if they'll be locked, o2 and voda contracts don't come locked but not had payg for a while.
