Hello. I'm thinking of getting a Vodafone 858 smart phone handset to replace my cheap-ass Huawei G6600. I currently have a 2degrees sim card, and am hoping not to part with it (prepay I can afford, basically). Will this handset be compatible or ultimately reject it?

I have a Vodafone 858 Smart and 2degrees and Vodafone work together, however as 2G roams on Vodafone you are unable to use data on the internet unless you are in a 2G 3G Area. Telecom and Skinny do not work.
