Can I use Virgin sim in PAYG mobile?
Please bear with me as I struggle to understand mobile phone things! I have a 30day Virgin sim which I am currently using in my Sony Ericsson phone. I want to update my handset and have seen the Sony T715 at £79.99 which I like the look of. My query is it's listed as PAYG on website so does that mean that I can just switch the sim card it comes with for my Virgin one without any problems? Sorry to sound so dim but grateful for your advice. I only use phone for texting, calls and a bit of photo so really don't need anything all singing and dancing. The one I have is looking a bit 'brick like' and my kids say it's embarrassing hence the change!! Thanks for your help.

As long as the new phones on Virgin as well (or marked as 'sim free') then you'll be fine.0

No its not! It's from 3store and is on PAYG. Have just found a sim free one from Play.com but its £139.99! Anyone suggest any other phones that might suit?0

Yeah, that's not going to work. All 3 phones are locked to their network. Sorry. . .0
