Battery power depends from simcard? |

Now that's funny, read this, can somebody explain the misterium?
I had to buy a new battery for my old friend, the reliable Ericsson T65. I put in a one of my two sim cards (two different operators!!!), charge the battery for 15 hours a here's the result:
With the one sim, the phone tells me that I have a standby of 150 hours.
With the other sim, I have 250 hours of standby time indicated, and this with a lower signal! I went on trying this for some days and I saw always the same result, one sim gives more battery power tha the other! What's that? |

Interesting observation. Have you tried with two sim cards of the same nw ? That will bring something out.

No I could not! Unfortunately I don't have two simcards from the same provider! |

One explanation could be that network availability is stronger on one operator, so the phone uses less battery with that one? |

I want to explain better:
With swisscom-sim: fully charged and fantastic reception: 150 hours
With sunrise-sim: fully charged and poor reception: 250 hours! |

I guess it's relative to rates uses
Use the >*<<*<*, to tricks the service menu and check configuration in service info
U should read something like EFR (Enhanced Full Rate), HR (Half Rate), FR (Full Rate) or something else. This is relative to your operator/simcard and it's the codec your cellular use to send your voice over the air
My comprehension is that more the rate is up, more the power comsumption

as someone explained - it is the reception.
you said the bad reception lasted longer - this could be because it keeps looking for the strongest signal to keep you happy haha. there are probobly more towers to the one that is stronger where you live, so the more you move around, the more it jumps from tower to tower - meaning the more battery life it takes.
Its good to be back! |

it's due to the operating frequency of the network.i.e, an 1800mhz sim like orange will last longer than a 900mhz o2 variation.i sussed this out about 2yrs ago.1800mhz use sattelite, whereas 900mhz like voda or o2,etc use masts at altitude.

The 1st one where the signal is stronger uses more battery,that's why the signal is better.On the other one, the signal is poorer cuz the operator laid the towers for optimal signal but that's all - it lasts longer cuz everything is minimal.
