will a life mobile sim card work in a locked EE mobile phone? just trying to find out because some says it does and some say it doesn't
can anyone help on this.

Usually MVNO's SIMs work in a phone locked to the main network, but not vice versa.

If I can find my old EE phone and manage to charge it, I'll check in the morning.

Just tried my life mobile sim in an iPhone which is locked to EE. It works fine.

Thanks guys for clearing that up it was that i went on EE's forum and they said it wouldn't work and that you would have to get the phone unlocked but i was told it did plus now on this tread i have been told again it works.

Strange how ee says it don't.

It must be EE are trying to get rich fast. Wish we could go back to when mobiles first come out.
I was with Orange and now they are the same as EE.

BT now owns EE also like you said Orange and now also t-mobile and life mobile.

Thanks, my (almost) antique Lumia is stubbornly refusing to charge. Must have been lying in the drawer for well over 2 years now to be fair.
