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

I suspect if you pay the little man a little more he will let you use a
data cable or back them up for you.....

Shouldn't do.

Your numbers are most unlikely to get loose. You might lose them but I
think that's unlikely too. Always wise to back up though and you can always
use a pencil & paper.

Hi, Surely, if your phone book numbers are saved to the phone from the
Sim card..which you should check....on the phone book menu..
then, the phone holds the numbers, not the card so you just change the
orange sim for the o2 one and it will work...
The unlocking is so you can use the 02 card in an orange phone.
There are lots of sites which offer the service..

If ya that worried use the nokia software to back it up... Free from their
webshyte

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.
