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? 
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.

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

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.

Re: Unlocking a Virgin Lobster 575
The code is based on the IMEI number anyway, so even if he had shared, it wouldn't have worked
