    Good price. A mate of mine has the phone and its the best you could do for that price. Was gonna get it myself but went for a tacco lite instead!:D

    I wonder if you can choose the colour? In the OP'S pics, it seems to be available in black/green and black/red.

    imageunavailable

    On the littlewoods site though, its in the nicest, IMO black/blue

    Yep.. I searched 'phones' and Littlewood's do indicate if they're sim-free in the title.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,158 ✭✭✭donmeister


    Maybe this isnt looking like much of a bargain after all :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 251 ✭✭the_pod


    Is the phone locked to Virgin? Does it need to be unlocked for use with an Irish SIM card?

    Sorry, a few people got there before me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 99 ✭✭ash2020

    Anyone here previously bought items from these guys?

    Are they reliable ect?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    Will this phone work in the Republic of Ireland after being unlocked? I thought there was some incompatibility between phones made for the UK market and The Republic, no?

    Will work fine with an irish sim once its unlocked.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 129 ✭✭dougdub


    Just ordered with the discount :) - how long before the email confirmation comes through?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    Discount code "XX409" no longer works as far as I can tell.

    That's what I get for lollygagging.... missed out on the Windows 7 pre-order price too. :(

    People are probably using the link on the first page of this thread - to www.littlewoodsireland.ie.

    The following promo code was working earlier - found it just after my previous post:

    XX687 - 20% DISCOUNT

    Hi Fnz, I tried to use your code on the uk site and it wouldn't accept it, at least for the product I was looking for.

    Thanks anyway

    Got my Littlewoods Nokia 5220 for €42 after the 25% discount (UK price £103) incl loudspeaker, memory card, etc - :)

    Locked to Virgin Mobile UK as expected :mad::mad:

    Phoned Littlewoods "customer service" - was told it was a "technical problem", not a Littlewoods matter, and to call Virign Mobile UK.

    Anyone know where I can get the thing unlocked & how much it might cost?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭mcgovern


    XX408 was giving me 20% off during the week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,300 ✭✭✭CantGetNoSleep


    Link won't work for me anymore, anyone else know where to get this?

    There used to be a link on this site for unlocking phones but I can't find it. I have used http://www.trycktill.com/eng/ successfully, and its free

    Also http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/129 helped me with free codes to unlock previous phones

    Emailed Virgin & Littlewoods - Virgin will unlock the phone for £15, Littlewoods have offered me a £5 discount - need to squeeze them a little more! ;);)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,335 ✭✭✭KeRbDoG


    Looks like an expired offer :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 700 ✭✭✭dazzday


    got mine today. Locked to virgin as we pretty much guessed and as its one of those new fangled BB5 handsets, only real option is to get Virgin to unlock it for £15.
    Phone is hot tho! Got a 512mb card with it and a speaker set...not too shabby for €45!

    Hey Dougdub, where'd you get the phone unlocked, i've tried 3 places with no luck.

    I rang Virgin direct - they take Credit Cards over the phone, they order the codes and you call back a few days later and they give you the code over the phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭PCDub


    I called Virgin direct myself and they said i needed a UK address as they send the codes by post, then they tried to convince me it wasn't a virgin mobile phone i had and that it was nothing to do with them. Pure w**kers to deal with.

    give them any random address - they keep an electronic copy of what they send so ring up a few days later and they can access the letter with the codes and call them out over the phone.

    got it unlocked by Virigin - cost £15 but got £15 back from Littlewoods :D- registered the phone on the web with virgin, using my irish address, put £15 credit on the phone, phoned virgin, they deducted the £15 & posted the unlock code & IT WORKS! :):):)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,300 ✭✭✭ooter


    my missus bought 1 of these a few weeks ago,she knew it was on the virgin network but must've thought it'd pretty easy to get unlocked.she's tried a few places in town but none of them have been able to do it.
    what would be the best way to get this unlocked?
    i'll be in the uk this weekend,if i brought the phone with me and went in to a vigin mobile shop over there would they be able to unlock the phone for me there and then?
