Orange 3g Phones

[sam fisher]

Im gonna get a orange 3G phone on contract and both of the two i have to pick between have nearly same specs. The better one has only a SIM while the other phons have a USIM and as far i i know (not much) don't 3G phones have to have a USIM?

 

[sam fisher]

im at the moment wanting to either get the LG U8150 (has more features but only normal sim) or the Samsung Z107 which has a 3G USIM. Sneaky orange making you try to think all you have to pay is line rental. You also have to pay for data tariff but they do not mention that till after your 3 month trial. bloody contract but i want one !

 

[sam fisher]

*sigh* at least i got one reply.

 

[trooper]

Why not a Orange spv c500 ?, The phone is free with most monthly contracts.

get the normal sim one... then the sim will work in nearly any phone ?

 

[sam fisher]

USIMs are backwards compatible. I want a 3G phone and did research and said that a USIM is required for 3G. But that phone has a normal Suscriber Identity Module or what ever it is but is in the 3G section. P.S. i also havea normal orange SIM.

If you can afford it, its best to get it unlocked. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW

 

[sam fisher]

yeah but if i get it unlocked and put a different SIM in it i won't be able to use the 3G services will I?

just before xmas i bought a motorola v980 on vodafone 3g..........shit phone, shit network, hardly any coverage...ever! i sold it on ebay and stuck with my 6600. maybe orange 3g will be better, i dunno.

 

[finty]

6600 rocks. Oh yeah.

 

[saintdragon]

i got a 3g phone brand new for £5 its well worth it, i got it from carphonewarhouse but there now sold out...

its on 3pay and its motorola but for £5 i think is a bargain!!!

 

[finty]

But you can only top up at a minimum of £15, and they are pretty expensive.

 

[sam fisher]

yeah thats why i want an orange phone on contract. just need to get a stable income now.

But it usually works the other way round, First you get a stable income, Then you buy all the things you would`nt normally be able to afford.

My younger brother took out a 12 month phone contract without a job, because he thought he was all grown up. The silly pratt got himself into £300 worth of dept. :rolleyes:

He should have stuck with pay as you go.
