If you're interested see my post in phone exchange. I am selling a Sony Ericsson W880i Walkman phone that I actually bought in th UK. It works on Speak out and it works over there.

You can send texts to the UK for 10 cents per text and receive them for 5cents on speak out.

It is true your Speak out SIM won't work over there, but in the UK you can buy a pay as you go SIM at any convenience store for 99 cents. The whole cell phone deal is way better over there.

Cheers.

1 does a SO phone send texts to London England.

Yes. See FAQ #3 and #4.

2 when I go to UK will the phone work there?

No. You need an unlocked GSM phone that uses international bands, 900 and 1800 MHz. The phones you buy from SO do not have these bands. You could buy an unlocked quadband GSM phone either here or there.

Also your SO SIM won't work outside of Canada. You will need to buy a SIM in the UK (which of course will have a UK phone number) and buy airtime for it. See also https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/sim-card-guide/
