i was hoping to buy a mobile phone

faolteam

in the uk

http://cgi.ebay.ie/BRAND-NEW-UNLOCKED-NOKIA-C3-HOT-PINK-MOBILE-PHONE-/190462094967?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhones&hash=item2c586cee77


just wanted to know if it will work with an irish sim card on the o2 irish network its unlocked

Davy

It will work fine on any network here. O2 and Meteor would be the best as its not a 3G handset if you want to use internet.

Do you want it sim free? Cause you could get it here from the networks and save a little cash?

faolteam

the o2 .ie network but couldnt get it was only on the o2 uk site

i wasnt sure what sim free was,

I thought that meant u could use it on there network

Davy

o2 dont have it here, but eMobile, meteor and vodafone have it for €89, €109 and €109 respectively.

Sim free means it comes with no sim, and you can put any network sim into it. When you buy from Vodafone it will only take a Vodafone sim for example.

faolteam

so which would be the best mobile company to buy from it

Davy

Well eMobile is the cheapest. Check out their price plans to see if they suit your usage needs. If you not sure, post here how much calls and texts you use, and people will give you opinions

But what do you want to do with the phone, Are you going to be using the internet, do you make many calls texts, do you want apps, do you want a good camera, do you want wifi?

faolteam

im looking for a good robust phone reasonable camera not to pushed about internet , maybe wifi

but can u just tell me if i buy the nokia c3 meteor phone,
i just put my o2.ie sim card in it and it will work on the o2 network ?

as i was explained i cant do it with vodafone and the emobile dont have it

drunkmonkey

Have a look at the nokia e5, it would be a lot better phone for around the same price, 5mp camera & WiFi

Not in pink though:(

Do you have to stay with o2, they have no pre pay add on for internet so there not suited to anybody using a phone like your considering.

Vodafone are 189.99, Meteor & emobile are 189.99, 02 is 209:eek: and 3 have it for 149.

Unless there's some reason you have to stay with o2 i'd be switching networks.

faolteam

so i have to stick with it im thinking of going for a Nokia C3 or the Nokia 5230 which u go for
which is the best?
