[QUOTE="RedDevil_UK, post: 504772, member: 184030"] when you buy a phone you are supplied a Sim to go with it.. 2G phone = 2G sim 3G phone = 3G sim so by sticking your 2g sim in a 3G phone it wont work. i had a 2G sim in a Sony Ericsson k800i (3G) and video calling didnt work, when i rang Orange they told me it was because its a 3G only service and im on a 2G network only sim. hope this makes sense. i upgraded to a Nokia N95, they sent me a new sim too.... when turned on the phone the 3G logo lit up...when i use WAP (internet) a 3.5G logo lights up. Regarding your problem though.. if your on contract i would argue for a free month (they are in breach of contract) if its PAYG then get a sim from another provider who is the provider by the way?
