I dont believe that at all. I asked the same question in the orange shop and he said, no only an orange sim card would work in it, so I then said, it would if I got the phone unlocked, and he said yes. So I think I have an old mobile lying around somewhere, so I will use that. All I want to know now is that do you need a trio or dual band to beable to use it out there. Is there anyone on here that has used a mobile form over here with an egyptian sim card?

Yes!! each time I bought from Carphone Warehouse, lat time end of July! before then in April, no problems at all. As they have your details on their database they can see how many phones you have bought and when. I just bought a cheap one, plus the sim card on cheapest network. I was told that none of their pay as you go phones are locked now but previously they were locked so depends on how much trouble you want to go to and how old your 'old' phone is. Just check though, as the cost of the phone depends on the type of sim you buy!
I had to use a random bloke to top up my Etisalat credit as I bought the credit from a vendor in the street and not from a phone shop. The phone shops however do seem pretty obliging on the whole and will help.
