    Mobile Phones on 3

    just a quick question as i've been giving the job of finding my dad a new phone.

    Can you have phones on the 3 network unlocked to accept any sim card? Or can you get bolt-ons the same as other networks, on 3? He doesnt want any naff video calling packages etc, just simple top-up and call options. I'm not very aware of phone networks these days.

    Cheers

    I have a budget of £50 and he wants a new phone. Maybe pushing towards the £60 mark. So far i've found 2 for him. I'll stay clear with 3 I havent really heard anything about the network.

    I had a 3 phone and it worked fine in Sheffield and in Newcastle

    But Hebburn where I live has quite bad reception for most networks and I couldnt use my phone at all in the house

    Changed to Vodafone when I moved back home cos they have best UK coverage
