3 PAYG Sim on a Nokia 5100?

Was going to renew my voda contract, when I realised just how cheap it is to have a 3 PAYG, but their phones are big and ugly and expensive!
My question is, will it work in my Nokia 5100,I understand the video stuff wont, but just for calls and texts.
I know Voda and o2 work on my phone
Thanks
 
Nope 3 have managed to block 3 sims from working in phones other than their own :(

You used to be able to... but the answer now is no.
 
Its not the case of blocking, its there current signal band. Nokia phones are only ment for GSM E900/1800 network bands.

o2/orange = GSM 1800 network band
t-mobile/vodaphone = GSM E900 network band
USA: GSM 1900 network band
Three / Vodaphone 3G = WCDMA Network Band

To see if you nokia phone works on the Three (3) network or 3G networks, go to:

http://www.nokia.com/phones/5100

Go to phone features and look for: WCDMA and GSM 900/1800 networks, if it says WCDMA and GSM 900/1800 networks then you can use 3G services if not will show: GSM E900/1800 networks.

I suggest that you get a 7600, they are small and light.

Hope this helps.
