    If you say sim free do you mean with out a sim? Or sim unlocked? Where you thinking of buying from?

    If the phone is unlocked, yes. If it is network locked, then no.

    It may be cheaper to buy a locked phone and have it unlocked.

    Hope you bought it from Expansys UK. Generally cheaper with the current exchange rate according to a previous poster!
