    Yes you need to buy a sim free phone. These are normally considerably more expensive than a network locked phone

    Hi there,

    thanks for your response. I found a couple of websites when I searched for "sim free phones Ireland" See I'm interested in just getting a bog standard with candybar phone that I can move on to whatever network I want...

    So can I just clarify, if I buy one of these phones, I can put in a sim from any network and it will work?

    regards,
    J
