Can I use my 3GSIM in my P910? (Or an ordernary GSM phone for that matter?)
Posted by parsnip
i dont think so... i think you can use 2.5g sims in 3g phones but not the other way round...
Posted by tranquil
Hmmm...
That means I'll have to walk all the way form my gareden, in to my house, pick up my P, walk out again and actually try?
Posted by tranquil
Well, having been forced to do the long walk I learnt I can but I ain't got no GPRS.

Right; For info!
If your 3G phone runs out of juice the SIM can be used in other phones.
I just tried it for the exact reason.

but on 3 network it doesnt allow me to do that

You can use a 3G sim in a 2G phone except on 3UK as they block it to prevent people roaming on O2s 2G network because it costs them more money.

A generic or unlocked/branded phone should work on ANY network. Thatīs one of the major points of buying generic/vs Locked/branded phone IMO

EDIT: Make that THE point...
The much nicer user interface and ability to use the phone to itīs true potential is the other point.

Does anybody know out there if I can use my sim card for the '3' provider in my Sony Ericson P910?
Does software exist to unblock?

I use the SIM I got with my V800 in a P800 from time to time... I've never experienced any troubles with that.
I also used a 2.5G sim (from previous contract) in the V800 for a number of months without much trouble.
I don't see the problem here??

Vodafone, gsm/3g operator keep taking old gsm sim/algo for subscriber identification in their network. So both gsm and 3g (dual mode) handsets can be used. 3, 3g network only. introduced usim only capable with 3g handsets.

Yes, you can use a 3UK SIM in a non 3 3G phone. But you can NOT use a 3UK SIM in a non 3G phone.
I have an unbranded V800 and have successfully used a 3UK SIM in it.

Here in Sweden do I use the same card in both my 2g and 3g phones. My operator is Telia
