3 network on a C500?

[Guest rodg98133]

I noticed that 3 do some phones that are not 3G capable. If this is the case am i right in thinking 3 do sim cards that would work in a normal non 3 phone?

The reason being my girlfriends lovely big NEC has packed up and at the moment were a bit restricted as to a replacment phone we could purchase.

I am wanting to give her my C500 when I have finished with it. Will this be possible if I can get 3 to send me a non 3G sim card?

I really don't want to spend any money on a huge 3 phone?

I would be surprised if that's the case, I had the impression that the 3 network was a pure 3G network. Are you sure none of their phones are 3G? Perhaps some of the phones aren't video-calling enabled, but still 3...?

I've phoned 3 and tey have said they don't do non 3G sims? The phone is was thinking about that is not 3G is a nokia but i cannot find a model number.

Its the small square nokia. I was sure that I saw this on the 3 network quite a while ago.

I might be mistaken.

If not does anyone know of a decent phone on the 3 network that wont empty my pocket??

3 will do all they can to stop you from using their SIM on a non 3G phone. This is because they will lose money as you would be using the O2 network intead of their own.
