I friend of mine gave me an old Nokia mobile 5110 with no SIM that he used to have on a Vodafone contract. I've had it for ages but my brother wanted a mobile so I said I'd give it to him.
I use a cheap Sagem mobile myself with a Virgin PAYG SIM as I don't make many mobile calls. Anyway I took out my SIM and tried it in this old Nokia and it says "SIM card not ready".
The friend who gave me the phone said it might be locked.
Will it work with a Vodafone PAYG SIM ( assuming you can get one) ?
My brother just wants PAYG.
If it's locked I don't think it's worth paying to get unlocked as it's probably not worth very much.
p.s. I'm a complete beginner with mobiles I don't even know how to send a text.
