825976 2009-10-31 22:43:00 Hey guys,

Been looking at mobile phone later and found the Nokia 3120C which seems to fit the bill quite nicely. Looking at Dick Smith (search.dse.co.nz) though there seems to be a real difference in price between those being classed as Vodafone and those as XT at the moment.

So what I'm wondering is can I pick up one of the XT models and chuck a Vodafone sim in it without any issues? I know the hardware should handle it but not sure about firmware.

Cheers

I got one yesterday for $175 with Telecom sim card. Quite impressed with the phone for the price though. Haven't got a Vodaphone sim to try but should be a way to do it I'd have thought as it is the same phone after all and looks like you can change the network on the phone. The manual is available on line though, assume the answer is in it.

Under Operating Frequencies, it mentions WCDMA and GSM. So it should do both Telecom XT and Vodafone

If it does Vodafone, then yes.
