    If I buy a 'ready to go' Vodafone OR the equivalent for 02; speakeasy I think, in the UK, can I use this phone here using an
    Irish purchased SIM card?

    Thanks

    YES! There are numerous threads which people ask the same question, if I buy a phone in UK can I use my irish sim in it, generally NO unless its unlocked, and Yes you can get it unlocked over here, ask in the UNLOCKING forum or contact Columba R'ad for more info!

    O2 UK seem to have a habit of not simlocking their phones for some reason.
