Question

My girlfriend has a Nokia 3310 mobile on pay as you go, she wants a new phone and likes the Sony Ericsson T610. I can buy the phone simmless, will her old simm fit? Or are they different simms in sony phones and nokia phones?

Cheers,
Boysey

SIMs are all the same in terms of physical dimensions....some older ones have less memory etc, but ALL will work fine in the two phones you mention...

Exclamation

Make sure the handsets aren't "locked" to a particular network. For example, Orange phones are locked to Orange so you can only put an Orange SIM in.

if she is on Orange and wants to keep the same number, she can do a p.a.y.g upgrade........

she gets to keep the same number, they give her 10 pounds on her new phone for doing an upgrade, and 10 pounds more if she does a buyback.........

oh, and a free text saver too

Imlach..

FYI

simms are not all the same dimensions!!!

there was originally a credit card sized sim in many early mobiles,

this was reduced to the current size we have now, but you will notice they still come as a c card size, you just break the sim out

mart360 - yes, I know, I still have one that takes a credit card SIM, but given these SIMs have been not used in any new phones for the best part of a decade (8 hour standby times etc in phones 10 years ago - remember that!), decided it was not relevant.....good on you for spotting my omission though
