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 guigy |

You can always try before you buy if you feel paranoid about it!Alot of phones on prepaid these days are locked to pre-paid sims - inlcuding orange. Technically they can find out what phone is being used by what sim. But they really dont care. |
