Mobile Phone Unlocking

[harding1985]

Hey All,

If i've got a 3 sim card, can that go into an unlocked phone? Will it work? Or are 3 sim cards abit funny, does it HAVE to be a 3 mobile phone? :y:

Thanks
Lee

tbh any sim card should go in any unlocked phone even foreign ones....and with 3 being based in india i have no idea...reason i say that coz is when u mannually search for networks onur fone 3 never come sup

if uve gt an unlocked fne or no sum1 with an o2 phone (which are unlocked anyway...no need to pay to get it dun) try it and see if it works

very true

also i state DO NOT by phones off ebay...they may well be genuine but they might be blacklisted, which means u can send and recieve texts but cant make or recieve calls, thats because the imei (serial number) of the phone is barred, there is no way of getting this taken off the blacklist either not event he dodgy bloke on the market can do it....so if u do buy it...beware!

I had a 3 phone aaages ago, coverage wasn't actually that bad down here, yes your sim card should work in an unlocked phone mate, no reason why it shouldn't.
