3g sim on xda11 sim working

[m01y1i00]

I am on a 3g contract and only use it for phone calls, I do not use the 3g stuff(directley as I know of) Is it possible to transfer my IMEI number to the XDA11 and will it work on the 3G network. I can then use the XDA11 and not have to carry two phones, well more like bricks but good stuff.

IMEI is harcoded into a phone and cant be changed in most cases not to mention it being illegal

if 3's sim were compatible which the newer ones are not you could use it in the xda phone though unless 3 have some odd IMEI locking on their networks

Thank you for your reply rudgear, If it was possible could it work. Changing IMEI is legal in the uk, but not in some countries.

Hi , I don't konw about the IMEI , but I know that you can use the 3G sim card with 2G phone if the provider use another network for roaming , in this case you will use the roaming one always and you will lose the benfits of 3G.

The only reason I have a 3g phone from three is the cheap calls/conrtact I don't want the 3g stuff, it's to expensive at the moment. I think 3g link up with O2 if there is no signal on thier network. :idea: maybe it,s possible to stay on the O2 network with a 2G phone?

I have read http://wiki.xda-developers.com, this did not help, I bought a serial cable and used that with a full reset and the xda malipulator, that did not work or the xda2unlock.

the xda manipulator only work with walaby xda1 devices and some say only with some radio stacks

as far as i know you cant change the imei it's hardcoded in a chip or something and cant be altered could be wrong though but i've never heard about anybody doing it

Currently I use 3G sim card with 2G phone and it work fine but in roaming mode because the 3G company has contract with another company to serve there customers where is no 3G coverage ... however my brother signed new contract with 3G and they give him sim card but in diffrent color , The new sim card doesn't work in my phone which mean the company changed something in the new sim cards .

note : I have to use manual network in my phone then I chose the other tel co. .
