Mobile Phones from the UK

FreedomJoe · 2009-11-29 20:41:50

Hi all, Can anyone tell if it is possible to buy a UK Mobile Phone and use it with a meteor sim in Ireland? And if it is, which UK network would I need to purchase to be compatible with Meteor. Thanks

You'd have to buy a SIM free phone, or otherwise buy a locked one and get it unlocked

...and some of the more recent phones are quite difficult to get unlocked IIRC.
