The one I have worked with the old +423 United Mobile sim, and people on this forum can tell you if it works with the +44 sim. One warning - the Nokia 3120 and 3100 on American ebay are the wrong kind of tribands, and won't work well in Europe.

A generalization and not always true depending on the merchant...what you have to do is check the specs of the one being sold...you want to make sure it is 900/1800/1900 and absolutely not 850/1800/1900...(technically the 850/1800/1900 are the 3100B or 3120B...but many merchants don't know the difference but many do and want to see the true international ones and not the dumbed down ones for the American market......
Incidentally I am using the 6610 with the UM+ card and it works perfectly.
