Lucky you! when I wanted to unlock my Orange PAYG phone, they said I'd have to have £20 of credit on, and it would happen within three months! I ended up getting it unlocked (and, as a bonus, debranded) from one of the little, independent, ever-so-dodgy phone shops you see in every town. Then Orange gave me an awesome contract when I asked for my PUK code... damn you, sod's law!
