Have a look here . I think there was a flaw in the 3 system which allowed the use of their SIMs in 2.5g GSM phones. People were buying the 750 tariff phones & sims and then using the sims in non-3 phones as the phone calls were cheaper than on other networks. I think this flaw / loop hole was fixed.

alot of people are saying it wont work on the P800, is there any chance the P900 would be different?

Reading the thread at 3gnewroom (URL in my post above), it seems that '3' have to block individual phone models. You might find that the P900 has not yet been blocked yet and therefore you may have a short period when it may work. I suppose we will know in a few days when you get a chance to try it.
