    CPW have the Nokia 2730 for €69.99 online on Vodafone, 3 and Meteor and for €79.99 on O2. No doubt it would cost about €10 more in-store and add to that the cost of unlocking; unless you can get an unlock for from your current network provider.

    I just realised that I have a spare nokia 6230i and the guide says it works on EGSM 900, GSM 1800, and GSM 1900. Does this mean it will work in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia?

    Thanks for any help.

    Sneachta, you can find out what GSM, and also 3G, frequencies mobile networks in other countries use by consulting GSM World.
