Having heard numerous rumours and reading various online material, I still don't have a clear picture as to exactly the situation regarding whether one can simply insert their 3G sim card into a (regular) 2G phone and happily chat away. (obviously the Three functionality won't work)
Having spoken to a Three salesman in Superdrug, he told me that using a 3 sim in another phone would "fry" it, because they use a completely different frequency or something like that?
One of my friends claims that a shop near him will unlock a Sony Ericsson t610 to work on Three for £10. (I've also seen one of these going on eBay with a ThreePay simm card).
Assuming this is the case, is there something special about the t610 or is this feasable on any 2G phone?
I have read in other forums from one guy that his 3 simm just worked in his old 2G phones (Sansung and Panasonic)...
Can someone please spread some light on this for me... I've been pondering whether to go for "the next generation" for ages but this will really swing it one way or the other
Many thanks Ollie
