Do Virgin Mobile still lock their contract phones?
And if so, how much do they charge for an unlock code?

Yes, They used give you the unlock code for a 15quid top up
Not sure what it is now?

It's a Samsung Tocco. My previous Virgin contract phone, a Sony Ericsson
W910i, was unlocked as well, although firmware branded, but an update to the
firmware sorted that out.

Thanks

I have just tried a Tesco simcard in the phone [Nokia 5530] and it seems
to work ok. Any of my previous Virgin phones have been locked.
