Nokia 8310 - will it work in Europe?

spratley

Will my ancient Nokia 8310 work in Europe (Greece to be precise)? It's on Virgin mobile, so I checked my account & it says that roaming is on, but still not sure if phone is just too old! I did text a friend who was in Greece (I was in UK) recently & received a text back from her, if that means anything at all!
Just need the phone in case of family emergency back home, so probably won't even use it...

aww i covet your nokia OP . I had an even older Nokia which used to come to Greece and Turkey with me in 2000/2001, until I spilt orange juice on it and it died on me.

Do you still play Snake on it ?

All digital GSM mobile phones will still work in this country. Not sure about abroad but can't see why not.

You're just trying to be a smart !!!! by showing the United States who use different bands. Of course it will work in Europe.
