Hi

I thought I had read somewhere that a 3g phone on another network and then unlocked could accept a 3 sim card

If you get the phone unlocked any 3G phone will work with a 3 sim card, but not a non 3g phone...

True...although some of the older 3 SIMs will work in 2G phones, at least until 3 find out that they are being used in one and disable them.
