'Three' network SIMS tied to Phone

[deviat0r]

Hello,

I know this is going to sound really dumb-ass, but I have to ask. I heard somewere that 3 are not allowing 3rd party phones on their network. I am lead to believe (This is from Car Phone Warehouse) that 3 tie the IMEI & SIM to the network, so if you wanna change your phone, you have to do it through 3.

The reason I am mentioning this is because I would like to take advantage of the cheap £17.50 per month for 500 anytime minutes, but they only supply horrid phones and nothing decent. I was going to take them up on the offer and then change the phone.

So my real question....

Has anyone managed to get a 3 sim in a different phone?


Cheers,

Dave!

it should work in any UMTS phone, eg nokia 7600, sonyericsson z1010, there is a motorolla out there as well

Thanks for the reply, I have never heard of UMTS. But I now believe that the '3' network are tied to CDMA phones only. Does this sound right?
