[Liverpool] Android SIM card question

[Vladimir]

Ok, got you, Andrew!

My phone is Samsung Galaxy Mini. Does anyone else got any Android phones
from Three? I don't think they're SIM "locked". Don't know where this
assumption of mine is coming from though.
I will certainly get a custom ROM/Kernel on this one later, simply don't
have time to at the moment (and don't have a different SIM card to check it
with).
