Does anyone consider asking the GSM operator? Does that involve too much common sense or are people just trying to get their post count up?

not every of us handle so fast as many of us, might be this is an easy problem, but such threads can turn out later for a place for useful infos, so i have no problems with those. next to it, the operator itself doesnt know proper answers to many questions, according my experiences, sometimes i told them, how to make a setting or solve a problem...

Boba, usually you have great info. But to say an operator does not know if you need or do not need a different SIM card is pure fantasy. There is no operator on the planet that can not advise someone to get a 3G card or not to. Come on Boba. That was a bit weak.
As I said before and still stand by, the originator would have been better served by his operator than by those speculating here because as you can read, no one has provided on single answer. They are all dependent upon the individual operator.
@thread starter,
Dude, contact your GSM operator. Do not listen to anyone here on this. Get the best info from the person that is providing your service. This way you will know for sure.

oh, i ment it more generally, not spesific this case. just to keep to topic and umts. i recognized lately, that in my area is umts system aswell, so i called the operator and asked is it just testing or finally its 3g here too. she was amazed, how do i know that, cos it wnt listed in the area info in thir pc, so she talked to several other ones aswell, but nobody knew about it. how do i know that, she asked me. i said, very simple, its 3g shown on my display, not just the aerial logo ( had n70 that time ). then she said, maybe they wasnt informed yet. and trust me, this is just one of the many examples, i could offer. all i wanna say is, that sometimes we - mobile feaks - can get earlies infos, the the ones who are sitting there in the center and take calls. indeed, the starter of the thread could have give a call to the op center, but i am really not sure, if he would get a proper answer...

Well, I am in Finland and as a test, I called a few. All of them knew exactly what I need to do. Get a new card. Simple

True. Scandinavia and the Nordic countries (Finland is not Scandinavian  ) are much more advanced when it comes to services rollout. However Germany and the UK are not to bad as well. The best would simply be for the dude to pop in with his 3G phone and say, "make this work in 3G mode". This way they would give him a card or show him that he was already set up.
