    I am thinking of borrowing my friends old iPhone for my holidays, its an 02 locked phone so I was wondering could I get a free sim only card and use the iPhone when abroad simply using free wi fi ??? I dont want to run up a huge data bill (i would use my own phone, not a smart phone, for texts etc).
    Thanks

    If its locked to O2 then that's the only
    Sim that will work in it and why would you bother getting a sim if you just want to use wifi? It will connect to wifi without a sim

    Thanks for that, I didnt realise that it could work without a sim..I really want to use it for viber, facebook etc not as a phone anyway
