    So I've been on Three for a year now and due to circumstances, Meteor now better suits my needs

    However here I am with a Nokia 6680, now "should" I be able to get this unlocked, will I be able to use it on Meteor?

    I was going to move from billpay to 3Pay but reading through T&C's it would appear that credit expires after 30 day period and besides the call costs are nothing great when compared with Meteor.

    You'll be able to use it on GSM with Meteor "when" you get it unlocked.

    I have a Vodafone 6680 that I got unlocked and I'm using it on Meteor without any serious problems.

    I take it I'd be much better of flashing it with generic firmware rather then sticking with 3's firmware.

    Due to my unfortunately bad experiences with Meteor, I would recommend moving to O2 speakeasy instead. It works out cheaper as well, as O2 do a lot of special offers, like nominating 3 friend for 1c calls, 1c weekend calls and texts, things like that. Not to mention better and more affordable roaming (still not as good as Vodafone Passport, but an improvement compared to Meteor)!

    Finally, O2 have a 3G network that they will launch for Speakeasy soon, so you'll be able to utilise the 3G features of the phone, whereas Meteor only has 2G for now and it will take some time before they go 3G or have any decent coverage.

    mainly looking at call charges, gf has a Meteor phone and uses free txt';s to a meteor phone I have but I'd like to move my main phone to meteor for the 5c meteor calls and then maybe use a txt bundle for 5c to any network charges.

    Would work out the most cost affective for me I believe, while I'll miss 3G net access for e-mail etc I think the cost saving is worth it.

    Used to be with O2 for years but didn't think it was the best value

    Not really too pushed about roaming to be honest, I can live without my phone when I got on holidays...get some peace and quiet :)
