Hi folks,

When it says that a particular new Chinese smartphone is sim unlocked...
Would it then be possible for you to use 'any' (UK) provider ie Orange/02/Vodaphone/3/T-Mobile/Virgin/Tesco etc?

I'm asking as I was thinking about trying Giff Gaff...(possibly,depending on peoples experience!)

Thanks in advance,Gazeebo.

They are unlocked. Depend on the frequency of you provider if it will work on that 3g. Most all China phone have 2100. Some 850 and some 900 too.
