3G sim works but no GPRS

[judsta]

I can make calls with a 3G sim as the 3G network switches to o2 when it is unable to recieve a 3G signal, but I cant get GPRS to work, can any one help? has any one got a 3G sim to fully work with their XDAII?

I will post more info if required

Thanks

AFAIK, if you are a Three customer, all of their services are available in proper 'Three' coverage areas.

BUT, they make it clear on their site, that in none Three coverage areas, coverage is then provided by O2 under a 'roaming' agreement Three have with them.

They point out that in these conditions, voice calls and sms are still possible (as this uses standard GSM, or rather CSD).

BUT, that picture messaging etc will not be possible.

This seems to indicate quite clearly, this is because a GPRS arrangement with them is not possible, or established.

Thus, in your case, a Three SIM card will work in an XDA (but only the OLDER ones allegedly, Three supposedly got sick of too many people buying them for just the high amount of free inclusive minutes and sticking them in their own handsets and incurring high roaming costs for Three with O2, so locked the newer ones), but GPRS is not available when in a none 3G handset, or in truth, on a none Three network!

Hi

Im on a Three network in Australia and i am able to use the three sim in my XDA however, I am unable to send sms as it cant read the sms function from the carrier sim. I have change to an optus sim and sms works on that, so im sure its just three's sim that doesnt.

Anyone having a similar problem ? and have a fix ?

Hi, I have Austrian 3 sim in my XDA II and GPRS works, however (of course) I am using national roaming partner's (A1) network, because XDA does not have UMTS radio.
Everything works OK. data, sms, email....
