    Looking to buy a phone on e-Bay from the UK.

    Advert says the phone is unlocked. Will this work on the Irish O2 network?

    Sorry if this was already asked. My search doesn't seem to be working and I've trawled through loads of Boards.ie pages.

    I'm pretty sure this has been discussed numerous times on this topic but the answer is yes - unlocked means it'll work on any network, though certain features of the phone may not be supported here (eg. push-to-talk).

    Yes unlocked phones will work providing they are GSM and of our Dual band specifications. Watch out on eBay the majority of people I have heard of getting caught there have either been buying Mobile Phones or Laptop computers. Check the seller’s feedback and try and get a telephone number off him, pretend you want to ring him to discuss features say you sprained your fingers and typing hurts. Ring him up and feed him some dribble about WAP, PTT, etc. At least if he does try con you, then you have a number, which may help. Watch out for the dodgy Lagos Accent too. ;)
