That's so old it's hardly going to be capable of running many apps, but to unlock, you'll need to use temp on O2 network, then follow guide Guide: Unlocking an O2 phone to use a different SIM card

It is and @Magon won't be able to use it for anything but calls and texts as Google won't allow login's from that Android version any longer.
Launched in 2010 so 14 years out of date now.

Hate to dissolution you but Three are in the process of shutting 3G down and they hope to complete it by the end of the year.

You can see why it was cheap now and only if in pristine condition, a phone collector is the only person likely to put any value on it at all.
