I grabbed one for abour $20 the other week for a pal.

Very impressed with the F3, but it's GSM functions are stripped down IMHO.

Tried used it with a UM+ (Jersey Telecom number) SIM card and callback didn't operate on any of the UK networks. Inbound calling was okay on Orange, Vodafone and O2, but I think the SIM had problems registering on T-Mobile for some reason.

Probably best to avoid using this cheapie phone with UM+
