Using Lebara sim in an old phone

littlemoney

Does anyone know if the Lebara sim will work in an old 2g Nokia phone. I know the a  Three sim will only work with a 3g capable and didn't know if this applied to Lebara. For a short period I will need to make more calls than usual and rather than change my exising PAYG sim I thought a cheap rolling 30 day contract for 2-3 months would be a good alternative using an old phone to save extra expense. I will still need to keep my existing number and phone/Sim but I can see switching sims in the phone to make calls would be a pain.

Lebara piggybacks onto Vodafone.  If your 2G phone is unlocked (and the sim is still valid) it should work.

Yes probably. I have an ancient Nokia (slide) phone (2g only) and, out of curiosity, tried the Lebara sim in that. Worked fine.

The sim will be a multi  sim type which is suitable for most phone sim requirements. My Nokia needs a full size sim so I tried it before pushing out the nano size!

I bet it doesn't A standard SIM maybe but not full size.

My old Philips took a full size SIM

Oh to be a smart and clever pedant!

As far as I am aware the phone is unlocked but it hasn't been used for 7 years.
