Yes.
You buy the phone
The phone arrives at your house.
In the box there is the phone and a NEW sim card.
You can give the NEW sim card to a friend or sell it on (it comes with £10 credit)
Open the back of your phone and take YOUR sim card out of your old phone.
Put YOUR sim card in the new ZTE Blade and you're set
(Make sure your sim only has a data plan if you want to use the internet)
Thank you so much. You've explained it very clearly and simply which is what I needed and hopefully may help someone else.
Wish I could thank you lots:)0 -

weefifer on HUKD is saying you CAN unlock this, by phoning 789 on the phone you want unlocked, but they charge you £15.32. Not confirmed, though.
You can also get it for 20% off in-store if you're a Virgin Media customer which takes it to £71.99, but you still have to buy the £10 top-up (works for two new phones per account). Apparently you can "borrow" a friend's account details for this discount, but I wouldn't condone such tomfoolery...
Apparently no bloat, and it can be rooted too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230 as commented upon here: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/zte-blade-v-4-quad-core-payg-phone-99-99-inc-10-topup-virgin-mobile-81-99-store-1646234?page=24#post19014865
And it has a "big, bright" notification LED, unlike the Huawei Y300's "pinhole" (my boyf has the Y300, so I've seen it for myself).
It has a Compass too (again, unlike the Y300) and the expandable memory makes it a winner for me. Just need confirmation about unlocking...0
