First you need to find out if its locked. If you get a sim card from another network bung it in your phone and it works you are OK.

If not you will need to unlock it, loads of places will do it. If you have a market nearby someone is bound to do it there. Which reminds me, must get mine done.

Some Nokias can be done by email. info can be found at www.movingdownunder.co.uk/files/beforeyougo.php
