Well, when they say No frills, they mean it!!! I got my new easyMobile sim today, and they're so no-frills that they haven't even printed anything on the Sim itself!!! It's just a plain white card!!!

Anyway, with this new sim I get a much stronger signal than with my Virgin sim, which I like a lot, but anyway, I like the 5p texts, half of what I was paying with Virgin, AND I got to pick my own number instead of having to go with an off-the-shelf one....

They obviously use different networks, do you know who you are connecting to?

I seem to remember that Virgin were using T Mobile, but haven't heard of the other one, but whatever the case, will only give you a local advantage.

Where I live, Vodaphone is better, slightly, but half a mile down the road, my O2 phone works better, it is purely a local thing. Obviously the bigger companies and sim shifters using them, will give better all round coverage.

Not a clue, I'll pop the card into one of my older spare mobiles later and see if that comes up with the "compatible" operator name (my Virgin sim came up with one2one (T-Robbery-Mobile) on my old Nokia 5146, but i broke the aerial on that)...

LOL, well I could be wrong about Virgin then. Unless of course they use turbo sims

As their carrier I guess, like VirginMobile...

As long as Thieving-Mobile don't touch my account I'll be happy....

Actually looking at the e-mail easyMobile sent me, the default pin is 1210, which was (and still is) the default one2one/T-mobster pin....

Hi all,
I am off to India in December for two weeks well earned holiday. WIll start in Bombay, then be travelling to Cochin and Agra. I would like to keep in touch with the internet while I am there. My mobile is an MDA Vario, with T-Mobile. They charge an arm and a leg to send/receive calls and much more to use Internet, so I was thinking perhaps I can buy a local chip to use there? I dont have a laptop either and wont be buying one before I go, no point for two weeks.Anyone have any ideas?

Post this as an Off Topic thread authorised by me, in the Indian DTH section, somebody there will be able to give you some pointers, as many/most of the posters there, live in India.

Well, easyMobile's going down the pan thanks to their partner TDC pulling out, so it's a case of move to FreshMobile or transfer your number elsewhere by the 13th December...

I really screwed up there didn't I?
