Rebel Simcard need to Re-program our v1.1 cards for free, RebelSim users post here!

---

There are a lot of Rebel Simcard users on XDA and many other sites who have been mis-sold a product.
We were told that it would work with 3G networks and we would be able to use Calls SMS and Data all without interruption.
As all users of Rebel Simcard v1.1 will know...this is not true.
Rebel Simcard have blatently breached the Sale of Goods act 1979 which states:
‘Wherever goods are bought they must "conform to contract". This means they must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality’.
These cards do not perform 'as described' so clearly do not "conform to contract".

Please could any v1.1 Rebel Simcard users please show your support by posting your story up on this thread.

For when rebelsim read this my email is discardthismobile@gmail.com

I contacted rebelsim last night explaining that I am spending £15 per month for the next 12 months on an o2 sim contract because i had a phone i couldnt use and only bought because they claimed they could fully unlock it with 3g. The least they could do for me is send me a usb programmer, something they sell for £10 (and probably only costs them £2 to produce), after im going to spending £180 on a contract i only took out because of this companies false claims to unlock the streak. I even offered to send them the programmer back at my own cost after using it!

They writ back simply saying
"hi
at most we can offer you a coupon code to get £5 off

rebelsim"

Although they're not just straight out saying they cant help, which they originally did, i still dont feel it appropriate for them to sell me something, for any price, to make something work that i paid £25 pound for in the first place and has cost me a lot of money afterwards.

I would appreciate a reply from rebelsim either through here or my email address above as this is unacceptable!

We are not begging at all, where did you make that assumption from?
They didn't have to make an updated firmware for the Rebel Simcard, but what they do have to do is abide by UK law and sell something that works as it was described when sold.

last time i checked the rebelsim page they did list all the faults of the 1.1 fw ... if that would be the matter there would be an uprising , ur asking for something completely different ... like gimme a nvidia gf480 cuz u bought an 280 (as if they were identical in hw witch they arent but the rebelsims are)

The Dell Streak Rebel Simcard page definately said it would work with 3G, there were also multiple emails where they said it would work with 3G

I'm ditching rebelsim 1.2 seems i cant recieve calls in 3g mode. Maybe 1.3 will fix that

Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

My rebel simply works fine... No problems at all sending/receiving call or SMS, not not had a problem using 3G ether. I do have to take it out and register with the network every so often in another phone but for 25 quid you get what you pay for... Stop complaining and buy an unlocked streak if its that much of an issue!

Well there are some of us for whom the Rebel Simcard does not work as described when sold.
This is against UK law, specifically The Sale of Goods Act 1979.
The buyer of any item covered by UK law is entitled to have it working as described when sold.
I and others like me feel we are well within our rights to complain about this matter.
To this end, Rebel Simcard have seen their error and are now re-programming everyones Rebel Simcard v1.1 for free.

I purchased the rebelsim card1.1 a few weeks ago after reading on there web site that it would work with 3g,but after putting it in and using it for a few days ,it just lost service and would not work at all,complete and utter waste of time and money,do not buy one,just get an unlocked streak,and save yourself the grief,i paid with paypal so put in a complaint to paypal and got my money refunded including postage,so my advice is stay well clear of the rebel sim cards for the streak,it is not worth it,just get an unlocked streak.
