very good phone and run very nicely, even though some will say hardware is outdated....

Great handset with excellent screen. Also runs the new Windows 10 Mobile OS very well too, though not officially released yet. Both myself and my wife have this handset, great camera and 4k UltraHD video recording too (if that's your bag).

The right price at last! shame it's locked to O2, would love someone to price match this unlocked!

Great phone, picked it up from fleabay for £140 last week

Picked up a refurb yesterday £119!

Wow if this wasn't locked i'd be filling me boots :smiley:

daymouse, where did you get the refurbished one from? I checked on the O2 website and it says out of stock

I've just spoken to an advisor at O2 and she said that you can't unlock a payg phone in the first 12 months. I find that hard to believe. Anyone had any such experience?

Did you have to put your pay monthly sim into the pay as you go phone in order to unlock it?

Nope. I didn't even open the boxes for the Nokia 105's I bought.

Thank you, I'll give it a try. I'll ask a friend to unlock it for me via their O2 contract. Just one more question: when you fill in this form for getting the phone unlocked https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset%20Unlocking%20Form&cm_mmc=affiliate-_-47868-_-blank-_-blank, do you choose Pay Monthly for type of Account and give the number of the phone on contract, just the IMEI being of the pay as you go phone?

Many thanks for helping me with this.

Yep, choose 'pay monthly' for type of account, and give the phone number of your friends pay monthly account that you are using to unlock the phone. Then just include the IMEI number of your new Lumia 930. Unlock code takes around 24 hours to arrive.
Don't open the phone until you have received the code :smiley:

Many thanks. I've ordered one. Can't wait for it to arrive on Tuesday :smiley:.

Another piece of information that I got from Nokia/Microsoft Care centre in Edinburgh this morning and might be of use: if you get your Lumia phone unlocked by using a code, the Microsoft 2 year warranty won't be void. Unlocking the phone by using software will void the warranty.
I still think that it would be best to get the phone unlocked by the network provider if possible rather than a 3rd party.

It's a great phone - with a superb camera. Windows 10 Mobile is also a really nice step forward over 8.1 (you can get the latest Windows 10 Mobile build by becoming a 'Windows Insider').

You are going to be v.happy with this phone, of that I am quite sure :smiley:. & it doesn't matter where the unlock code comes from...they all originate from Microsoft. O2 or whoever else are just the third party agents requesting the code & then waiting for MS to deliver it.

Cheers for the heads up and info on unlocking. I spoke to their Pay & Go team today and they confirmed as above that they'd allow a SIMplicity contract be used to unlock.

this is tempting - i have a 925 since release and so was gonna treat myself to a 950 - but this is sooo cheap, must resist!

£192 for a year-and-a-half old Windows Phone?

I don't think I'll bother.

right. just google "nokia 930 mic problems" and you will see how great they are. It's not software issue!

Interesting. Never knew about that issue.

Judging by the following thread;

http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-930/361128-4.html

It seems to be a hardware issue with a specific (big) batch of 930's. With a bit of luck, these O2 930's will be from an unaffected batch.

Although locked, it should still work with GiffGaff, if you want a PAYG option.
I have this, and the camera is great, and believe me, i'm a fussy **** when it comes to camera quality.

Anyone know if Here-drive app is pre-installed as it seems to have been withdrawn from store?

great phone,brill camera,just waiting for the 950xl to be released here,looks likely very soon :smiley:

Thanks, helps the decision..

Still get Here Drive with Windows 10 Mobile too...

Works well enough for me, also used it to find our way when we were in Spain last year.

Bought this and using this guide ;-

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47195500#post47195500

Flashed the latest UK un-branded firmware (RM1045 Product code 059W004)

Ordered an unlock code from a certain auction site (item number : 111795547571) for £7.48

This will be getting Windows 10 upgrade when released.

Hope this helps others :wink:

Regards to all Billyhl

You can get the same version of Windows 10 that is already on the new 950 right now. It is a bit buggy though, but I'm still liking it.
