They said it may or it may not.!!!
The phone is a chinese clone (!) So no real experience to call on.
The supplier has sent this as the network specs:

3G Network WCDMA:2100/850 (HSDPA)

My ZTE Blade and my samsung europa (both hated by me) are 900/2100 HSDPA spec and work fine with my 3 sim card. Dare I risk it?

I have 6 months left on my contract so would prefer not to have to get a different sim or send the phone back.

Just put the 3 sim card in and see what happens. Won't do any harm.

The 2100 MHz part is (I believe) the only bit that's important, as 900 MHz is most likely for compatibility with N America - in the Uk Voda and O2 use 900, from memory, but for voice not internet.

Out of interest, why do you hate the Blade and Europa ?

I have both phones... and am just about to take a Europa (in a protective rubber cover) off to the gym so I can listen to some music while I'm there...
