    Hi! I'm thinking of buying the LG ks360 phone, it has the slide out QWERTY pad. The only thing is its only available on O2 and I'm currently with Meteor... I dont fancy changing networks but I really want this phone!! Would the phone work if I just put my meteor sim into it?? If not, then how would I get it working.... Sorry of this is a bit long-winded but I'm v. confused!! Any help would be much appreciated!!!
    Thanks:D

    Definitely 100% would not work straight out of the box with meteor sim if it's on o2 phone.

    Best bet is to either buy it and risk getting it unlocked.
    (I say risk but it's a fairly safe process, however sometimes can cost up to €50 or more in some cases depending on the model)

    or see if adverts have one for sale sim free for a good price (safer and cheaper and prob better)
