    you should be able to use any orange sim but it will need unlocking to use another network.

  • before you pay to get it unlocked try looking on here for the information to do it your self, lots of the boys/girls on here will help or tell you if you really do need to pay to unlock.

    I'd give it a try first - I use an O2 PAYG sim in an old Voda contract phone. Used to be problems cross-using the old (Voda and Cellnet/O2) with the new (Orange and T-Mobile) - think it was a frequency thing, dunno if anything's changed.
