Default Does a UK Mobile work with Spanish prepaid sim?

Hope someone can tell me if we bring our Uk mobiles/Blackberrys will they work with a Spanish prepaid sim?

I brought one back for my husband and it worked with his prepaid sim fine. It will only do so though if the phone you buy is unlocked. There are plenty of places both here and in the UK that will do this if you already have a locked one

Hi there,

We unlocked both our phones here for 15 Euros each, took one day, if you can't get them done in England. We moved here 5 weeks ago. If you need any advise we will be happy to help if we can.

Regards
Hal and Helen
