    You have to spend €130 on credit, and then when you have done so, they will charge you €27 admin fee for the code itself. Not what you wanted to hear

    You need to have spent around 130 on credit and then they will charge you another 25 - 30 to unlock it...

    I've used the spica on 3 and it works
    Very well, you should consider moving network if you really want the phone cheaply.

    3 will support you if there a problem, meteor support for an unlocked 3 phone will be non existent .

    is it buy 130 of credit or use it? does it have to be associated with the number?

    meteor makes sense for me, I have a 5800 unlocked on meteor and its cheap but I will look into it

    might be easier

    or could you go to one of those shops to get it unlocked? do they root the phone or do they provide unlock codes and does rooting void warranty? Can it be restored like the iphone?

    plenty questions anyway :)
