Guest Pondrew Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I owned the lobster for a while and was very impressed with the dab radio and satisfied with the performance of the tv. Just a shame it's so bulky and the keys are so user unfriendly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Doctor Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I then put the £30 credit of vouchers on to the phone Rang Virgin and requested unlock code (You need £30 credit on your phone for Virgin to give you the unlock code) IMEI-Check do it for £20 :D So if you already had a Virgin SIM, you could top up your SIM with the £30 worth of vouchers and spend £20 on unlocking it :) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to give IMEI your cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to give IMEI your cash! True i wouldn't use IMEI-Check either, but if i had a virgin SIM card i'd be tempted to use the £30 top up myself and spend £20 on an unlock instead.

Guest sxywill2005 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 WHSmiths are doing the Virgin Lobster 700 TV for £49.99 now with 200 minutes included. There is a poster on the Manchester store which I will snap up when I pass it again. I have used it and don't like the bulge, colour of the phone. The fact it has "Lobster" on it, which makes it look cheap and tacky and the horrid keypad. Come on HTC make a Vox with DAB ;) *snaps out of dream* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on HTC make a Vox with DAB ;) *snaps out of dream* Offer only lasts till Sunday grab it while it's hot! Note - With the free stuff included it makes the net price of the phone very cheap. For me as an existing customer I had £10 discount + £24 200 minute voucher + £10 airtime credit making the net price of the phone £6!!! -mrploddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
