Yeh, if the phone is unlocked it should work fine, anyway I think the 3510i is a great phone, it has very good battery life and signal strength, I bought one last year and was very happy with it.

Just to confirm....you should be fine as long as it unlocked. my girlfriend is currently in aus and has bought an aus vodafone pay as you go sim for $30 with $30 credit, cheaper to text me here on aus voda sim than using her UK voda sim to text back here.

She has it in an E700 which is working fine as think they are on GSM network like us.

Hope this is of some help.

If it isn't unlocked (rare on O2) there are places/software online that will unlock it FOC.
