Should an Australian sim work in my phone?

Hi all,

I'm heading to Australia for a few weeks holiday and obviously use WhatsApp, Maps and such to organise things and get around. However, given that O2 want to charge an eye-watering sum to use my contract sim, I was thinking about taking the sim out and grabbing a local PAYG sim out there (£11 for 1GB of data vs £6/MB) to put in my phone.
Would this work, or would I have to unlock the phone?

Thanks,

Tim

All Android phones sold by CPW are unlocked already.
Luckily for you you can enjoy cheaper phone use now slight_smile
