You can get the K750i on Virgin for £239.99 + you get £20 worth of top ups and they will unlock it for free, thus keeping your warranty. |

Once you get the phone from http://www.virginmobile.com/mobile/ call them up and ask them to unlock your phone. Give them a few details and they will unlock it for you free. |

Having looked around for the cheapest way to aquire an unlocked, unbranded K750i, I've placed an order with e2save.com today (part of Carphone Warehouse).
Phone free, 5 months at £4.99 per month, 1 month at £30.99, then 6 months at £16 (O2 allow you to reduce to lowest tarriff after 6 months and I've confirmed that this does not effect the cashback offer, which is paid in 3 installments at 4, 8 and 12 months). Therefore total cost of phone over 12 months = £151.94, plus my daughter can make use of the 200 cross network minutes and 100 texts per month (bargain?). |

Sounds like a long winded way of doing things though. Got to send some of your bills to them within 28days or else you lose the cashback.
I would much prefer to spend a little more and not get the hassle of all that. |

I'm not sure if unlocking will resolve it, but Virgin have now blocked the update service via the SE website. It worked when I got my phone but now it says the provider doesnt allow it. |

roblightbody,
Do you reckon this mean that the only way to update the firmware on a unlocked Virgin contract phon is to go to a SE repair centre?
Many Thanks,
