hi,

i have a mobile phone that was with o2 on contract. i'm now with orange on pay as you go. it was a replacement but was never taken back... my orange sim card works in it and in the next couple of days will be trying my brothers t-mobile sim. if that works to does that make it sim free? and can i sell it on to put the cash towards a well earned holiday?

i'm thinking somewhere that has access to the sun... :j

cheers!

    "SIM free" means without a SIM card. I assume what you're asking is whether it is not locked to any network.

    Most O2 contract phones come unlocked if it works with O2 and Orange then it is definitely unlocked no real need to try it with Tmobile
