3G Simcard in XDA2

[junglejim]

Hi guys, after browsing through this forum I unlocked my xda 2 (many thanks:)) and have now tried my 3g sim card in the phone and it works fine. So far as I understand, I will effectively have no on air content e.g. gprs connection, gps wap, or any of the 3g stuff. Can I do either of these things: alter the gprs settings so they work with 3g... or using pocket internet explorer, dial up to a provider such as freeserve...

Many thanks,

JB

sure
just get 3g's
access point name
for their wap, grps and mms service
add them to your connections in settings and
maybe get the login and pass if 3g use that and you are set

speaking of that, since i am using 3g in australia, and while using the sim card on gsm phones, it is roaming on vodafone network.

does that mean if i have voda's wap, gprs config, i can use the gprs service?

Jim: i am new to 3G, are you saying that xda2 can support 3G and how does this differ from the norm GSM. Currently, i am on GPRS with GSM and does 3G works this differently. Thanks.

3g(UTMS) is the name of the 3th generation of mobil phoning

xda1 and 2 do not! support 3g you need a speciel 3g console to use 3g

it give a better bandwidth and they push it with video phoning

I unlocked my xda II with the software available on this forum. I then simply put the 3G simcard in the phone and it worked... comes up with the O2 network. However Three have now said that they have built in measures to stop this working now.... although I'm not sure whether this is true or not (I've tried 3 3g simcards in my unlocked xda2 and they all work and two of them are less than three weeks old). Now I've never heard of it happening to an XDA 2 before, but there are rumour that putting the three simcard into a 2 or 2.5g phone can physically damage it. Anyway, I've had no problem, so give it a try if you feel brave (I take no responsibility :D ). (BTW you don't get 3G content... and I couldn't get GPRS working! so its a phone only).

Cheers,

Jim
