iPhone wonks

[steveo]

I've been given an old iPhone which won't run on the pay-as-you-go card from my old Sony phone.

Does the iPhone need a specific card?

If so, can you buy them in Dulwich?

try and get it un-locked. They do it in Rye Lane for a fiver

It's unlocked. It just says 'No Signal '

it's worth taking to Rye Lane anyway. I have an old iphone that a work colleague gave to me - he'd bought in Japan and couldn't get it to work. I took it to them and they had it up and running in 5 mins.

OK thanks, unfortunately I can't do that because I'm off on my hols but to be clear, a sim card is a sim card right?

There is no distinct iphone card?

I don't know. Maybe the iphone will only work on a sim card from the same network?
