help: 3g PDA phone used without 3g!

OK I'm a bit thick with this.

I want a new phone but I don't need a contract and I don't need 3G.

I have an old orange phone and sim.

I'm looking at buying an Orange SPV M3100 a 3g smart phone with bells and whistles. 2nd hand of course.

I have a question.

Will it work with my orange PAYG sim? Some egg head must have already tried this.

Any other problems I should expect.


Thanks

    Hi there and welcome to Money Saving Expert!!! :)

    I have a similar phone which i bought of ebay and yes , it should work perfectly fine with the payg sim card. Also , ring up orange for the mms and browser settings , they are very good and tell you step by step!! :)

    Now when you say you don't need 3G the phone automatically comes with it but that does not effect your query at all.

    Also , if you do buy this phone there is a way to unlock it to all networks for free aswell. which is perfectly legal, i think.?

    If there is anything else i can help you with feel free to ask

    Enjoy!!! ;)
    :dance: I am great , yes I am :dance:
