Ans: Your current phone may be compatible for use in UK. The basic
requirements are that your phone is unlocked and has the 900 and 1800 GSM frequencies,

are tri or quad band phones which will work in UK.
Even if your phone is GSM and has the 900/1800 networks, it will need to be unlocked
in order to be able to accept a different SIM card. If you bought your phone from
a major US or Canadian provider, most likely it has been blocked by your carrier.

other SIMs with your phone. Therefore, please ascertain if your phone has the 900/1800
GSM bands and, if it is locked, ask your provider for the unlock code. If your phone
