    Just wondering will an Irish sim card work with a phone bought in the UK which has had a UK sim in it? In other words, if you buy a phone in the UK can you switch sims, depending on where you are?

    If the phone is network locked then probably not ......... if you get the phone unlocked then it should work!

    Only if the phone is unlocked, a Vodafone IE sim will not work in a Vodafone UK phone etc

    If the phone is unlocked any SIM should work and if it is one of the newer Nokia's the phone will automatically configured itself for ISP, MMS etc; otherwise you will need to enter the settings yourself
