Unlock codes are available on ebay for as little at £1.35

 

However, on the XDA forum people say the reference to Tesco in 'About Device' remains even after flashing a stock ROM. And without rooting, the Tesco voicemail number is hard coded into the phone.

 

I've ordered the phone for £125 (used a discount code) with cashback and a £20 evoucher promised, but I'm having second thoughts. Do I really want to root a phone that's already virtually stock Android...?
