Yes

If I buy a T-mobile PAYG deal with a (cheap) Nokia 2310, and start
using the service, can I later put the SIM card in a sim-free Nokia
6230i and continue using the service, and have the same phone number?

Thank you,

Yes, you can put your T-Mobile SIM card in any SIM-free phone and in any
phone locked to T-Mobile. Your phone number is linked to your SIM card and
it will stay the same.

Note that phones usually allow to store contacts either on the phone's
memory or on the SIM card (provided that the SIM card has memory to store
contacts). If you chose the former, you will have to re-enter your contacts
in your new phone.

Settings for T-Mobile MMS and GPRS may not be preset in your new phone so
if you want to send MMS or access the Internet from the SIM-free phone, you
might have to either configure these manually or ask T-Mobile or Nokia to
send a configuration SMS which will configure them automatically on your
new phone (you can usually request to have these special SMS sent to your
phone from the support pages of the operator or manufacturer web site).

Thanks to all for the replies. A friend of mine took the SIM from her
old o2 Nokia phone and put it into a new (sim-free) Nokia, and now
finds that for some reason her voice-mail no longer works. If I call
her on her new phone when she's not available,it just keeps ringing
and her voicemail doesn't kick in and ask me to leave a message. Any
ideas why that might be?

No idea, but if/when voicemail kicks in is a network feature and nothing
to do with the phone. What happens if she puts the SIM back in her old
phone..?
