Hello, I am currently on a pay monthly contract with 3 and my phone has been damaged. It got slightly damp and will no longer work.3 have said that it will cost £400!!! to buy out of my contract and the best they can do is down grade my current package and sell me another , so in theory I would be paying two contracts. Can I buy the same phone from e bay and put in my sim card??Will it still function in the same way?? Will my bluetooth connect?PLease help me if you can .Thankyou. Casey x

if the phone you are buying is not locked to another network then you should be fine.
Out of curiosity, what phone is it?You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky
