3 SIM in SPV

[AsifM3100]

Hi All

Has anybody managed to get a 3 (Three network) SIM to work on an Orange SPV after SIM unlocking.

I would like to be able to use my other phone's SIM in the Hermes.

All advice appreciated.

Thanx in advance

Can you get full HSDPA speeds though?

My 3 SIM in my TyTn won't let me go above GPRS as its not my primary phone. So I'm paying for a service I can't use. I've spoken to their CS who basically said, no sorry, you've got to use that Nokia we sent you as your phone.

My T-Mobile SIM out of my 3G data card for my laptop works like a charm.

Guess which contract I'll be ripping up next month? Clue: its not the T-Mobile one.

I have put in a 3 PAYG SIM card and it worked, but I didn't test any calls.

What does happen though is the roaming triangle icon appears if you turn off 3G, which I guess is right because it's technically roaming on Orange (although the network name still says '3')

apparently most of the networks are distributing new sim cars for use with their 3g networks, and because of the upgrades, older sim cards wont work with newer services. my 3g service in the us wont work with an older US at&t card, and they had to give me a new one. so give 3 a call and ask them for a new sim card. say yours got broken or something, otherwise they may charge you. but ask first if they will give you one free first. good luck

I think your problem might be that the 3 hsdpa service you are on is x series. I have asked in their shops about it, because it seems to be the best 3g deal, but they said its only compatible with a few phones made specifically for x series, eg n73. And it cant be used on other phoens because it is a sort of program embedden in the phones, rather then a homepage like vodafone live, which you can just link to.
Hope i have helped, and correct me if im worng
