  Is the V8 3G? If so, you should be fine.
  
  If not; 3 don't approve and they can kill the SIM.
  
  Some people claim to get away with it for x months, but there's no guarantee.

  it isn't 3G, that's the problem.
  
  if it will work in the short term then i'll definately do it - if they kill the sim then i'll just get on to them and try and sort it.

  There's nothing to sort - it's a direct contradiction of 3's Terms & Conditions. Don't bother.
  
  There's much better prices from other networks that would have no objection to you using that handset.

  herein lies the problem - my V3X that i had on 3, I no longer have and I can't really afford to buy another one at the moment.
  
  It's very likely I'm locked into 3 for another year no matter what I do, so for the short term, I need a solution.

  might be an idea - thing is though, when I originally got my V3X, i flashed it so i could de-select 3G because the area i live in is on the edge of a known hole in reception so i was lucky to get 1 bar most of the time.
  
  i had it on 2.5G for well over a year with no issues whatsoever and got 5 bars reception all the time.
  
  3 never blocked it then so you never know ..
  
  anyway it's a moot point for now as i've just discovered i've lost my sim card
