Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / March 2004Contract to pay as you go
I have an old contract phone. Can I put a pay as you go chip in it and use it as pay as you go or does it have to be re programmed??

The answer is "maybe". It depends on what your phone is, what network it was originally on, and what network the sim card you want to use is for (sim cards contain a chip, but so do most electronics things) It won't need to be reprogrammed, but it may need to be unlocked.

If it's unlocked you can put any Sim in it, if locked then a PAYT Sim from the same network, but there are some exceptions, what is it, on what network ? Steve Terry It is a Nokia 8310 on tmobile . I would want to put a tmobile sim in it SignatureBandulu ................The stressed-gamer must exhibit grace under pressure......... .......................the most important thing is not to crack...........
