6610i Virgin Unlock - Possible?

[captainatomic]

Hi all!

My first post, I have been reading Nokia Free forums for ages now:)

Recently, my beloved Nokia 7250i was stolen at school - after a week of doing my best to get it back its just gone and im stuck.

I see Virgin mobile have a Nokia 6610i for $249. This phone is perfect for my needs, however it is locked to Virgin.

I am in Australia and checked the Nokia free calculator - it does not list the Virgin network or the 6610i

Before I hand over my hard earned cash (working at McDonald's!)
could someone out there either tell me if they have purchased this Virgin 6610i or have a code for it?

I am currently on the Optus network and I dont want to change to Virgin - they are to expensive!

However I should note Virgin network uses the Optus mobile network, so perhaps I might have some luck with it?

All help greatly appreciated,

yes mate, when you get the phone, check out Unlocking FREE website (http://www.trycktill.com/eng/unlock_swe.asp) it if foreign but if you go to the bottom and click the UK flag then it will translate, hope this is of help?

Thankyou for pointing me to the website, it seems to be the real thing, however it does not list the Virgin network! I can enter it manually however I dont know the virgin network's number!

$249 to me is alot of money - sure its a good phone but I have worked so hard to save that much! If only people weren't so light fingered at my school... :-x

Does anyone know the code for Virgin network?

Thanks alot
