Hey i need to know something if anyone can help me. ive brought my phone over from the UK its a Nokia 5800 and im wanting to know if i pay to unlock it whether or not i will be able to use it with and XT simcard. Ive heard alot of things about GSM and WCDMA which i have no clue what are and i was wondering if anyone could explain to me whetheror not i can use it over here.

Sorry if this is not in the right forum but i could not work out where to look so sorry about that.

Cheers for your help
Alex

You can probably find the model under the battery?

That model is no good for Telecom. It's a 900/2100 device that will only work on Vodafone or 2 degrees.
