Really depends on which phone you talking about, at the moment..to be honest 3 has made it a bit tricky so you only luck is asking them to unlock it...and that will cost a few pennies...

Methinks you are referring to those Moto C975 from Carphone Warhouse perhaps? £9.99 when bought with 30 quid's airtime?
I speak under correction, but I think most independent mobile phone shops in my area charge about £10-£15 to unlock them.

Personally, the fact that this phone doesn't have either Bluetooth or even IR hasn't made me even remotely interested in this 'offer'.

Thought I'd quickly revive this thread due to CPW dropping the price of the C975 even further from today; now £5.99 wbw £30 airtime.

Still wouldn't personally bother with this handset though, but if anyone's looking for an ultra cheap (and nasty) 3G phone on a shoestring, even if no B/T or even IR, this might just be of some interest...
