FAQ's Comparing Mobile Phones Information
Can I use my phone with a Sim card from another network?
The SIM card allows you to swap phones and keep your number
Network providers often lock their phones so they can only be used with the original Sim card, a practice known as Sim locking. Your network can provide you with a special code to unlock your phone for use with other Sims, but may charge you to do so.
What should I do if my phone is stolen?
If this happens inform your network (or service provider) as soon as possible so it can bar your account. This will limit your liability for any further fraudulent calls made, but you'll still have to pay for any made before you notified them.
Is it true the sound quality of phone calls varies according to which network I am connected to?
In the past this was the case but today the differences in sound quality and reception is negligable.
How much actual difference is there between phones in terms of sound quality?
Again, sound quality these day is ever so slightly different between handsets. You will however get poor sound quality in areas where the signal is weak.
What is predictive text?
Predictive text attempts to predict the word you're typing, based on which keys you have pressed – giving you a choice of words, where several could be created from the same combination of keys.
