Locked phones are illegal in the UK now, so they are unlocked.
That said, which country is your mother in? Phones have different models for different regions with different reception bands, so while it may work, it may not work well, depending on what signal she gets.
Erm, sim free aren't, contract and PAYG are.

Has anyone got a contract from them??
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 which I got from Affordable Mobiles. It is a vanilla handset; meaning it is unlocked and has no.external or internal branding. This means there is no visual network branding, such as a network logo on the casing, nor is there any internal branding, such as Orange World, My3, etc. It takes any network sim card too.
Same as above but with an S3

no its not.. the clue is in the name, 'sim free' phones come 'unlocked' … no its not.. the clue is in the name, 'sim free' phones come 'unlocked' with no sim.. ergo the name sim free.to the op, most phones will come unlocked from them, unless its a network specific handset, or if its only avaliable on a single network.got a HTC sensation from them last year, came unlocked, haven't had a single problem
Thats exactly what I said, sim free phones are unlocked
