Anyone know a good place to get unlocked mobile phones. Basically ones that dont have a sim and so arent locked to one particular network.

Just wanna get a better phone and stick my current sim in it so i dont have to faff around with getting number changed to one i currently have or sending out a new number.

can't you just re-flash a new phone to unlock it or something?

not sure what re flashing is hehe.

You can get phones unlocked froma particular tariff but thy charge you for it.

Phones are never locked to tariffs - only to providers. Who is your current provider?

Some of the phone shops are selling the pay as you go phones pre-unlocked now... just go and ask them which ones work

Otherwise, just get a pay as you go phone that is on your network and switch sims.

Either way, this is the cheap option. Pay as you go phones are subsidised in the same way as contract phones (though not as heavily) so it is usually cheaper to get one of these than it is to buy a boxed phone without a sim.

well by tarriff i meant the provider i get confused with that and the problem is the network im with dont do the phone i want on pay as you go :/

I've had a few phones unlocked myself. There is a shop in Bradford (though i expect they will be everywhere) that will unlock any phone for you for under a fiver. Go find one of those places and then just buy any old phone

EDIT : Nothing like carphone warehouse or something well established, something that is obviously just someones business
