3 sim in a D900

[matthew_o50]

Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to get a 3 sim card working in a fully unlocked D900? or will it not work because it can't use the 3g network. I just want to use calls and messages, no video calls or anything.

thanks

Matt

Yes you can Termy sorry mate

Sorry m8, but I fail to see where this implies that you can use a none Three authorised handset.

It does however state -

What is SIM Only?
With our SIM only offer, you get the same great Pay As You Go value, but without having to buy the handset. All of our standard pricing applies and depending on the handset type you choose, you will be able to access all of our other content, including games, goals and full length music videos. If you have a video mobile, you can even make video calls! Just get the SIM and don't forget to top-up.

But this only applies to the Three authorised handsets, as some of them cannot get all the services, IE Video calling.

If someone can prove to me that these work with the Three sim card and dont get the test message off Three telling them to use a compatible handset I will admit defeat, lol.

ill post the info tmrw, the we-pay propostion is now avalible for non three variant handsets.

Hi Termy found the info

The reason it does not show in most of the blurb is that Three do not want to advertise the fact that the sim only proposition means they are soley using a roaming network when in other handsets.
Eg Three prepay sim only in samsung d500 means handset is actually using the Orange network who are Three's current uk roaming partner.

I can confirm this works and have stock going into the channel !!

This is the three sellers update that goes out to all registered dealers
