3 mobile sim in my old 2g phone?

Am thinking of switching to 3 mobile (I make loads of international calls to USA/Canada and they offer a package of £15 a month unlimited international calling) - but they don't offer a good phone, can I therefore use the 3G sim in my old Nokia 6610i (I am curently on O2, on a 3G plan and can successfully use that sim in my 6610i).

    if 3 find out you are using a non 3g phone (eg yours) they will prevent you from using that sim in your nokia for some odd reason

    I would like to know if this is possible too as i am thinking of going with 3 but would like to carry on using my Nokia N80.

    12345ayn, when you say they restrict your account what exactly do they stop you being able to do ?
