Guys i need advice basically I have 2 accounts with Orange, one of them is a staff discount as I work for CPW, anyway they are both 2G sims, with 2G phones, recently I've aqquired a Nokia N80, and would like to use the wap and mms, the wap works (at GPRS speed), but the mms does not. Is this down to the fact that I have a 2G sim in the phone and it needs an Orange 3G sim, or are my settings messed up?

I spoke to Orange who pretty much said tuff luck we cant and wont do anything to help you out?

Thanks in advance
 
Right I got the mms working had to do some manual settings but no there are 3G orange sims aswell they look slightly different same dynamics just different colour..
 
You can't get a 3g sim on contract without a formal upgrade to a 3g handset with Orange, I'm afraid.

You can get a 3g PAYG sim from an Orange retail store for a nominal charge though.

O_o

thats a bit weird!
 
Think of a sim card as a piece of memory with a set of switches encoded into it (which is basically exactly what it is). If the switches aren't present then they can't be used. Standard Orange sims don't have the switches present to set for 3g usage, whereas 3g sims do.

Orange have always been more focused on linking sim cards to phones than some of the other networks though.

fair enough, kind of confusing that my 4 year old voda sim card works in it tho dont you think...?
