3 Handset Query

Does a three simcard only work in a three handset (as opposed to any unlocked handset)?

Thanks

    It should work in any unlocked/sim free 3g handset.

    It will work in any handset, however if it is a non-3G handset, you will always be roaming on O2's network (or in a few months' time, Orange's) and from reading previous posts, 3 doesn't like that and may bar you from their network. Also, if the phone you use isn't 3-branded, you may have trouble accessing their online content.

    A three 3g sim wont work on any handset.3g handsets more or less guaranteed but on 2g ones youll find only on a select few work.
