Help Unlocked HOX work on 3 mobile sim?

[Rik Mayall]

Hi guys im thinking of switching from o2 to 3 mobile as 3g coverage seems better with 3. However i heard in the past that some unlocked phones won't work on 3mobile sims? My HOX was originally orange but was unlocked when i bought it and is now on o2.
So will it work ok on a 3 sim?

Thanks

I spit on o2.
I'm sure it'll be fine, the gossip sounds like crap to me, I'm on 3& it's awesome.

Yeah looking into it it's the 2 g phone's that the 3sims don't work in.

I have an unbranded hox on orange. All was fine. I decided to change to 3 on a rolling contract. Biggest mistake. The phone was forever loosing signal. The battery life suffered as a consequence. Even when I left my area the phone was so messed up it struggled for a signal. Weather would not update and the notification to set my time as unable to retrieve from carrier constantly appeared. I cancelled my contract (had to give 1 months notice on a one month contract go figure!).

I am now on the full Monty t mobile everything everywhere. Spot on. It's up to you but think about what you want to do. Even if you just get a payg sim to try out. I don't think the radio receiver is overly powerfully as when I had the 3 sim in an old Nokia not so many problems.

Hope this helps.

This us a good idea - before you sign a contract for probably 2 years!

Oh dear well I'll try it and see what happens. I'll only be on a 30 day contract so if it's pants ill switch to someone else I guess!

No just a fan. Well put my 3 sim card in and ive gotta say what a difference! Loads better 3g signal than O2. Where i live and also where i work i was only getting 2g with O2 now with 3 its been constantly 3G and H not had the 2g symbol on once! Well happy
