Should be fine as there on the same network.

Phone are usually only network locked, e.g. Virgin sims work fine in T Mobile phones and vis versa.

Alot of phones on prepaid these days are locked to pre-paid sims - inlcuding orange.

if it is an old DCT3 phone like a nokia 3210 - 3310 - 3330 etc it can be easily unlocked using software - cables and a PC -
private message me if you want further details

hope it helps

regards

Never heard of Orange locking a phone to a particular tarrif like Vodafone do. Any Orange sim should work in any Orange phone. You can always try before you buy if you feel paranoid about it!

Technically they can find out what phone is being used by what sim. But they really dont care.
