Yes, I was one of the unfortunates to purchase this phone, having then
not learnt that buying a decent phone first time round is the real
answer. Anyway, I just found it in my garage and, embarrassingly, I
want to unlock it and use it again! I guess the cheapskateness and the
faddy novelty are things that never wear off! So, is there a cheap/free
way of unlocking this piece of junk yet?

Also, has anyone install messenger on it? I'd like to get a new 3 pay
as you go sim (yes i know i don't have to unlock it that being the case
but.....) and take advantage of the free messenger deal. Thanks


I had a e313, probably the most un-ergonomic phone ever made with it's
buttons in all the wrong places.

Put it in the bin and go buy a new Skype S2 on 3Pay for 39.99, and if
you are a member of quidco, get 11quid cashback on it as well

Then you'll have Messenger, Facebook, Skype and a dozen other services,
as well as a far better phone that also makes a great HSDPA modem.

granted it's not a great phone but then that's all the more reason to
experiment with it and damn the consequences. (I already have a 6120c for
all those functions anyway). Besides, i understand that now it can be
used as a modem/dongle and even tho only at 364k (or whatever it is
exactly) that's not half bad as a back up. Wireless internet at anywhere
above a meg is pointless anyway given the high data charges that still
apply.

Although the S2 is a good deal, i'd rather get a free 3 sim and pay a
£5er for the cable for this.

Any ideas as to the exact OS and version on this?
