Hi there,
My existing phone keeps switching itself off and it's too old to bother with getting fixed. It turns out that my Vodafone loyalty discount is actually a 12 month contract and I can't escape this until July next year, so I'm looking to get a new phone to make do for a while.
Naturally I don't want to spend loads of cash, so I was looking at the W910i on offer from Play.COM, however this is on a Vodafone pre-pay deal.
What I'd like to do is just take the SIM out of my existing phone, which is on a pay monthly contract and just use this with the new phone.
This might sound daft, but would this work on a phone sold as a pre-pay device?
If ask because the phone is £80 compared to £160 for a sim-free variant and like I said, I'm only looking to get by until July next year.
Thanks in advance. |

Of course it will. The phone isnt made to be prepay or contract. It uses all! |

yeah your contract sim will work fine.
if its a voda payg phone, it would be locked to the voda network. not just voda prepaid.

Thanks for the replies.
Having never used a pre-pay/payg tariff this is a new area for me and while I figured it should work, thought best to double check  |

It should take all netwrks. I had a w710 from voda and used a cosmote pre pay sim. |
