Contract sim card

[Missy33]

Is it possible to put a contract sim card into a sim free phone and it to work? I'm after a certain phone that my service provided don't have and was wondering if I just bought the phone would the contract sim work in it?
Thanks

I think the whole point of Sim-Free phone is so you can put any Sim into it and it will work. I could be wrong though.

Sim free applies to the network only O2 / voda/3/tmob/virg/orange etc ... not the contract type (payg or contract) ... you will be fine ...(IMO) ... it use to be the case that Carphone Warehouse O2 payg phones were all unlocked (will take any network sim) ... worth checking ... buy it payg not sim free, take the payg sim out and replace it with yours ... but understand if your network doesnt supply the phone they may not support any special serices that come with the phone and you will probably need to obtain the sms/mms/email settings and enter them manually ...
