Sim-free phone

Luno · 2009-09-19 12:33:55

So I was thinking of buying a sim free phone off the likes of Amazon or something and I was wondering because it would have been from England would that mean it would not work here or whats the story? Sorry I'm completly useless when it comes to things like this

SIM free means it can work on any operator's network. (Vodafone O2 etc )
If you want to use your phone on the 3 network here it must be a 3G phone.
Otherwise a SIM free phone from the UK will work on any network.

Amazon wont ship phones here, but you can find some places that will in the FAQ
