Anyone Using a 3 Sim in an Iphone

Pdog · 15 Apr 2008 at 12:52

Just a simple question really,

Is it possible to use a contract 3 sim card in the Iphone. If it is unlocked?

I know the Iphone doesn't have 3G support, but could it work if the phone was configured to roam on Orange? As I believe that the 3 network uses the Orange 2G network when 3G is not available?

Hmm, Ok

I'm in a bit of a pickle really. I drive 30 miles to work and the amount of calls that drop half way through a conversation is unbelievable. I currently have the N95 8Gb on Three and I don't think I can set it just to "2G". I guess my only option is to call three, explain the situation and see what they say.

You can set quite a few nokias on 3 to only use 2g services so I don't think they'd cause a fuss about it.

With the Iphone pricedrop tomorrow I'm almost tempted too.

Can you do that on a Nokia N95 8Gb? Maybe If i debrand it?

Cheers for all the replies. I am unsure what Firmware I am on. On the N95 under Network I have two options:

UMTS Or Dual Mode. If I want to set it to 2G only Do i need to do it in that part of the phone settings or somewhere else?

I'll try and find out what firmware I have and report back.

Edit:

Firmware version 11.0.0.26

Greebo,

When you say get them to upgrade your firmware, I already have the latest according to the Nokia Software Updater. I'll give them a call and state I am getting dropped calls.

Cheers i'll have a look at the link. I think V20 is out for the original N95.

The Net Monitor software has been removed now.

If I could get The Netmonitor S60 version I can get the GSM option. I can debrand the phone but that would be my last resort. I've read people not being able too use MSN after debranding

I've googled for Netmonitor S60 but nothing really around.
Debranding is out of the question at the moment. I've installed the latest Nokia software which isn't compatible with the Nemesis software yet. Will try and uninstall the Nokia software and install the version that came with the phone.
