Well it seems that no-one online or in my local area can unlock my 920. I waited over 2 weeks for Cellunlocker.net to tell me this and I heard a local store tell me today that with the 920 Nokia is using something called "Security Lock 3" which apparently means that only the network carriers can ask Nokia for the unlock codes because there's nothing the third party sites can purchase to get the codes at the moment. I don't know whether this is true or not but it puts me in a hard position. I figure it's best to make something out of a bad situation and I'm in a position where I *could* start a contract with one of the networks that my P4U 'Sim-Free' 920 supports - EE, Orange, T-Mobile or Virgin. Looking around today at the deals it seems Orange Sim-Only deals are the cheapest I can find, offering cashback through Quidco, too offering 300 min, ultd texts, 500mb data for 10.50 and ?35 cashback making it effectively ?7.58 for 12 months.
So my questions are related to Orange and WP8; (sorry if I've put this in the wrong section)
- With future updates to WP8 will I have to wait for Orange (or EE) to distribute the update or will it be directly OTA from MSFT? I got the impression that the whole point of WP8 was that it was OTA?
- How are Orange with WP8 - Can I quickly find out how much of my monthly data, minutes etc I've used or will I have to find a third-party app to do this. Unless EE support WP8's new Data monitoring tools?
- At the moment I'm with 3 and I've found their signal to be quite unreliable away from City Centres, what's the coverage like with Orange?
- How do Magic Numbers work, exactly?
Is Orange the strongest choice of these networks at the moment (I can't seem to find a really cheap 1 month rolling sim-free deal that I'd like although this would be better than 12 months) or can someone recommend an alternative price or reasons to go for any of the other networks?
