Cell phone locked or unlocked

I purchased my Samsung e1120 in edinburgh and the person insisted it was unlocked. How can I tell if it is or not?

That phone is a GSM phone.

According to http://reviews.ebay.com/Unlocked-Cell-Phones-What-Does-It-Mean-To-Be-Unlocked?ugid=10000000001861735:
"When a GSM phone is unlocked, it will work with any active sim card. So you can put an active T Mobile card or and active Cingular card and the phone will make a call. Now some features of the phone may not work, like the internet browser if the phone is not programmed to the particular carrier, nevertheless, you can make calls."

So you could try that. Put in other sim cards and see if it behaves like an unlocked phone.
