now the sim card still works in blackberry.will i have to go in store to get a new sim?the phone is an o2 phone i believe when purchased

a nano sim is thinner as well best to get one from an o2 store then do the sim swap

[jonsie]

If it's an o2 phone then just go to the store and order a sim and they will transfer your number and tariff over for you. You will need to swap the BB bolt on to the iphone data bolt on.

It should tell you on the box if it's an o2 phone.

doesnt say on the box it was off ebay,but the seller says it was trustworthy seller to

Lest hope thay are a trustworthy supplier on ebay.

Get the nano sim from o2 if that fails then claim from the seller

[jonsie]

While you are at the o2 store ask them to check it by putting a sim in it first.

Phone is locked to a different network...

Oh heck yet another phone purchased off flea bay giving issues.

Quickly follow the advice given and be ready to launch a dispute. I'm hoping you used PayPal and if so launch a dispute with them too.

Also check the sellers small print to ensure it does say the phone is on 02 or unlocked.

Good luck Op
