Default OT - Mobile unlocking and phone numbers

Go to the website recommended above, and follow the instructions there to
get your unlocking code. To find out your phone IMEI type *#06#

Once unlocked you need a new sim card. Phone your existing network helpline
and they will provide you with a code (forgot the name) that you will then
provide your new network so that your number will get transferred to the new
network.

Nothing should be lost on your phone as a result.

Hi All,

Long time no post!

I am considering moving my Nokia 5140 across from Orange to o2, but
don't know much about the process.

There is a little man on the local market who does unlocking for £10
which seems reasonable.

What is involved here?

Does the phone get flashed?

Will I loose all my numbers? If so, can I use the Nokia utility to
backup before the flash and restore after. If so I will have to go
cable shopping.

Am I just worrying about nothing and all the numbers will still be
there?

TIA

Chris
