She is quite happy to buy her own sim free Blackberry or i-phone but
has been told unoficially that if she puts the 3 sim into her own
high-end phone, 3 will cut off her service and confiscate her number.


AS long as its a 3g phone there will not be any problems.
I have been using a Nokia n79 for over 2 years and have a contract with 3.
