My phone worked fine this time, and as I had to buy a new sim that worked perfectly fine too.

I changed my sim to a different English phone as other one locked, seems ok for now.

My wifes went this morning, guess it won't be long before mine goes too!
Does anyone know if there is a proceedure to get the phone registered or is the only option a turkish mobile?

I suppose one could by a new SIM but it might be only a matter of time before they find you and lock it AGAIN!! lol

Linda,

I think it's the actual phones that are getting locked -not the sims - so a new sim would not work in a locked phone.

I posted this link before but it was thought to be expensive.....however if phones are continued to be locked it may be an option.........

So much for registering your phone! had one of our phones registered and now it is locked, wont even turn on! what a bloody money spinning excercise that was, and whos brother made a few bucks out of that I wonder.
Yes I am furious. the only winners here are the gov and phone shops as we have had to purchase yet another phone. And to make matters worse inadvertently saved the numbers to the phone and not the sim card!! grrrrrrrr............

Chris - oneroam looks a VERY viable option to me under the current circumstances. 24p per text and 27p per minute calls (41p to mobiles) is not bad compared to having your phone locked. I think I might get one before we go back in Sept.

I wonder - is there not someone in Calis or fethiye tha can unlock the phones? I know they are likely to be locked again if you put in a Turkish sim but at least they could be used again with some other sim inserted (such as oneroam)
