I had been concerned about the use of mobile phones for communication when mum and I go to HK next month. Mum has an unlocked Nokia which she can use with a HK sim, but my phones were locked on Vodafone. So I emailed aroudn earlier this week and and received two offers of a sim-free phone which I could borrow for ten days. There are websites around that charge from £20-£30. This morning I asked David Wright what would be the best and cheapest way to unlock my phone for HK use. He asked when my contract ended. I said on 19th March. He said I should try to call up Voda for a code. It should be free, but '3' network is known to charge £25.

I called Voda and spoke to 'Summer' who said she could get unlocking code sent to my email within 72hours!! So it'll be free and I could possibly bring to HK if not, then take Nic or Charlotte's mobiles.

So praise God for providing a way out of another financial situation. =)
