I have a SE K700i on an Orange contract that is coming to an end. I am intending to upgrade my handset shortly and wanted to give the old one to my daughter who has an O2 PAYG sim card.
When I try her sim it says please insert sim so obviously its locked to Orange.
Would the handset work with an Orange PAYG sim?

    If it is locked to Orange then it should accept an Orange PAYG sim.

    If not, then it can be easily unlocked to accept any sim, charges may apply though.
