If for instance...i buy a Samsung E900 for dirt cheap money on Vodafone PAYG, if i get the local dodgy phone shop to unlock it, will it work on 3? It's Tri-band so i assume it will?

I can't cope with this N73 til October

 

Enter the sim that you want to unlock it to and when it says invalid sim enter *#9998*3323# press exit and a new menu comes up select maloc fail. i did this with my phone and it worked fine. The only downside is each time you turn the phone off you have to re-enter the code. hope this helps.

 

The N73 not very good then?

 

complete and utter dog shit, hate it. I'm never buying another N series as long as i live.

The slooooooooowest phone i have ever used, just to do the simplest things. On the plus side, the camera is the dogs bollocks, but takes ages to take photos sometimes.

 

the phone needs to be 3rd generation compatible. if it is then yes you can

 

how much you going to be paying?

cant find if the phones 3g or 2g?

 

Can you not use a normal 2G handset with a 3 sim in? I couldnt give a toss about 3G to be honest, i don't use mobile internet often enough as i find it a waste of time with the fiddly browser and cramped pages. Only check footy scores once in a blue moon if i aint got a telly/proper t'internet to hand

Was going to get one off ebay but missed it now, was also going to use some littlewoods vouchers i found on here but i blew them on a new dyson instead, got it down from £155 to £131.50....it's £189.99 in comet

 

if you put a 2g phone on 3, it will use the 2g o2 network costing 3 money, they will bar the sim, ive read that, and done it, lasted 2 weeks on a pay as you go 3g sim, in a nokia 6230


with that littlewoods deal, get a mate to order it, or a different named card holder at your address?

 

little off topic but would u want to sell your N73 then?

 

i don't think i'd be able to subject anyone to it's horrors...but i'll see

But if it's going to cost me megabucks for a compatible phone i may as well wait til september/october and get a free upgrade. Was only toying with the idea of buying a new handset if it was cheap...and i'm talking littlewoods voucher offer £40 cheap
