can you use a PAYG SIM on a Pay Monthly phone?

of ourse you can, i do and just get it unlocked or opened up if you want to use it on a different netowork[/b][/quote]
Most phones come unlocked in the UK nowadays; my son&#39;s 7210, my wife&#39;s & daughter&#39;s 8310s and my T610 were unlocked from new.
If the PAYG and contract sims are the from same provider they should both work in the phone anyway.

I&#39;m not impressed with either my T610 or T-Mobile: the phone&#39;s ringer takes 5 seconds to get to full volume even when the &#39;ascending ringer&#39; setting is disabled, and if you don&#39;t want T-Mobile&#39;s voicemail feature to take all calls after 25 seconds max, you have to turn it off altogether.
The screen is all but impossible to see in daylight.
It&#39;s ugly.
Mind you, the txt messaging is the best I&#39;ve tried.

I did have a V200 for 2 days but the infra-red function didn&#39;t work, you can&#39;t add words to the T9 dictionary, the characters on the display are childishly huge, the green &#39;dial&#39; button doesn&#39;t dial the contact&#39;s default number when you&#39;re flipping thru the names list (just brings up contact info) and, finally, words don&#39;t wrap in txt messages - you get some of it on one line and the rest of it on the next, like the worst text editor you can imagine.

Is that enough? BTW I gave my son the 7210 because it was pissing me off even more than the T610 does, so I don&#39;t know how I&#39;d like the 7250i.

you can buy an unlocked phone with a sim installed though...

if a phone was baught on contract then it shouldn&#39;t be locked to any network, if it is then you&#39;ve been ripped off, every phone that I have ever got on contract which over the years has been about 5 or 6, I have been able to use them with different sim cards for different networks.

@kunal your mate has misinformed you, or he has crap deals.
