    If I was to buy this from play.com and have it sent to me in Greece would I be able to go and get a Greek sim card in it and it would work?

    You would probably have to get it unlocked, if you take into your local mobile phone store they can do it for you and should only cost a few euros.

    As Freddie says, most mobile phones are locked so they will only work with a specific mobile network - in this case T-Mobile.

    Your options are to either:

    get it unlocked (ive never looked into how, as I understand it there are codes you need to enter, probably for a cost).

    Or buy a phone which is sim free - Which is to say, already unlocked. Since these phones can be used in theory with any network at any time, they cost a bit more than locked versions.

    ok then so if I was to get a sim free phone I could just pop in another sim card from a greek telecom and it would work.
