    Does unlocking this void the warranty?

    I've got the phone and I've ordered the eir SIM online. Do I need to wait for this to be delivered before the unlocking process or can I use a 48 SIM that I currently use in my daughter's phone?

    You can unlock it without any sim in it by following the guide above.

    Got one today in Liffey Valley:

    1) Free Sim from Eir (activated with €5 topup, & call made).
    2) Bring said sim to Carphone Warehouse, & ask about the porting to VF deal
    3) Purchase phone @ €89.99, buy mandatory €10 VF credit
    4) Total €105

    Any recommendations for an unlock code?

    So if I'm already on vf do I need to buy the €10 credit

    I don't know for sure but I would guess yes. As you are supposedly a new customer.

    I got the free eir sim. Topped up by 5. Registered it.

    And ordered the phone for free delivery. 109 Inc 10 three credit.
    I'm already a three customer but clicked the new customer section as when I clicked existing customer the price of the phone jumped 30 odd euro.

    Thanks everyone for the reviews and the replies on what sounds like a great phone.

    Took me awhile to get it too work but do theses steps in this order.

    On your phone dial pad code *#*#2846579#*#*, select "Project Menu", "Background settings", "USB ports settings", "Manufacture mode

    Then connect the phone to PC by USB

    Then download and install this http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/

    Connect your mobile to HiSuite once installed

    Check 'Ports' in device manager and see if 'Android Adapter PCUI' and 'DBAdapter Reserved Interface' are there.

    Launch DC-unlocker software

    Select Huawei phones under manufacturer

    Select Auto detect under model and click search

    Your phone should be detected. Note: mine didn't show the IMEI number when detected, just the serial number.

    Open Server tab, enter your username and password that you received after credits purchase. Click "Check login''

    Open Unlocking tab, click “Unlock” button, Wait for device to be unlocked, mine took about 30 secs to unlock

    After you see that phone was successfully unlocked, restart it to complete procedure. Now you can use it with any SIM card. You can restore phone now to it's previous mode

    Sorry if it's been answered already in the thread but I couldn't see it. Is there any shop that I can pick up a free prepay SIM to use to port over to get this offer?

    Eir give free ones but you need to purchase 5 euro credit and make a call to activate it

    *in some cases

    I used a free Eir SIM without ever putting any credit on it. They just called it while i was in the store to make sure it was active.

    I checked and it seems they are quoting 129.99 as their best price today unless I'm missing something. Link below

    Just so people know, it's also €90 if you port to Eir. Might save someone porting to Vodafone and having to unlock it after.
