Hi Mobileman, I just need a little help !
I have BT mobile pay as you go sim with 15 £ credit in it. My old BT mobile phone isn't working well. I want to buy a new handset which can be used for BT mobile sim. BT mobile don't sell phones any more. Which other pay as you go phone would be compatible with BT sim?
Thanks,
Ash
Good morning ash.
BT Mobile pigggy backs on the Vodafone network, so before you rush out to buy a new handset, just check first if you have any spare mobile which is either locked to Vodafone, or is unlocked. AFAIK BT Mobile should work in a Vodafone mobile ( just as an Asda does ).
Secondly, if you have no spare handsets, or those that you have will not work, you will need to buy one that is either on Vodafone, or is unlocked. I would agree with nixforfun to some extent, in that the Carphonewarehouse is a good place to go. Many of their 'phones are unlocked. But there are some exceptions on the pay & go side, I believe, so please follows Nik's advice about checking with them before buying. Some networks will not allow their pay & go hansets to be sold unlocked (a rotten orange springs strangely to mind!) so do not presume that their every handset will be unlocked. If you doubt the competence of the salesman to whom you are speaking, you can always ask to try your own SIM in it just to make sure that it will work for you OK. (I have done this myself many times, and have always been allowed to do so).
HTH.
