Default Any one no there mobile phones?

Hi guys, today ive just purchased a sony ericsson W810i on a contract for work. The phone isnt needed because i just use a crap one due to my dirty job. I got the phone that was selling for the most on ebay, these go anything from £200 to £350! The women from t mobile said it can be un blocked to use on any network only in 3 months! ! ! Is this true, ? as i want to sell it straight away

Cheers

you need to find out if the software is available to unlock it , if they are unlocked on ebay then we can safely assume its out

It can be unlocked anytime you like even before purchase.

Pop down to your local market and there's always someone there to unlock phones

Its rubbish - for the last few years Ive always started a new contract and sold the new phone on ebay straight away if Ive wanted to keep my existing phone.

Works out much better than upgrading.

All you do is sign up for a high montly usage plan (£50 a month or so), then you usually get a decent phone free, and last time I got something like £200 cashback, a free mp3 player etc.

Sell the phone and the free mp3 player on ebay, then after 6months (used to be 3, now 6) you can downgrade your contract to £25/month one, or whatever suits you.

With my current contract Im using a phone I got last year, and Ive worked out I'll actually make a PROFIT over the year doing this, and get free calls and texts each month
