[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1034431, member: 110816"] One distinction about my iPhone 3G is that it was unlocked by AT&T when I got it. So technically I could've used anybody's SIM card with it and made it work.. Now, if you have a friend with a spare SIM or grab one from the pay-as-you-go services (I imagine you have these in UK)..you can try the SIM to see if the phone will at least work as a phone..and then you'll have to figure out the Internet piece.. It's usually good to buy fully unlocked phones so that you don't have this issue..especially if you're going to get one that was in use in the US..but hindsight, 20/20 and all that jazz..
