Unlocking a Virgin Lobster 575
 

Hi

I've been around to a few local mobile phone shops who dont have the equipment/codes to unlock my Lobster 575.

If i phone up Virgin Mobile will they be able to unlock my phone over the telephone? :confused:

Thanks

Dunno if this will be any good for you

From memory I think Virgin Mobile could do this for a small fee over the phone but this was a few years back and could have changed.

I've just emailed Virgin to see if i can have the unlocking code for the Virgin Lobster 575.

Hope they dont charge for it


Will report back in the next few days

Mobile companies are allowed to charge upto a max of £20.00 i believe

If you've spent over £30 credit with them over the past however long you've ad the account, they don't charge for unlocking.

I've had the pay monthly SIM and mobile for about 9 months now, so amounts to around £90

Wohoo!! Virgin emailed me the unlocking codes today and i've just finished unlocking it , very pleased with the customer service

theres a first for everything

Re: Unlocking a Virgin Lobster 575
 

Are you going to share the code with us then?;)

Re: Unlocking a Virgin Lobster 575
 

Virgin Mobile CS is separate from Virgin TV/Telephone/Broadband CS; different call centres (in Britain), different people, different policy, that explains why Virgin Mobile wins customer service awards but the rest doesn't.

I would have given you it, but i've deleted the email since it all went through fine

Sorry :erm: :dozey:

The code is based on the IMEI number anyway, so even if he had shared, it wouldn't have worked ;)
