I have checked the search engine and can find no reference to the Telecom Plus SIM.
My orange contract has run out, and I have changed to the Telecom Plus SIM only deal at £8 per month, no contract, .08p per minute at any time to any network! :lol:
I know that it is run off the T-Mobile backbone, and there is a very good blackberry deal as well. Go to:
HTTP://www.telecomenergyplus.com
Then click 'SIGN UP' and you can then choose mobiles, then the comparison button for the SIM only package. I would say that there is no mobile that would interest us!

Hi, i am going to the UK for 3 weeks holidays and dont want to use my Dutch sim, so can any one recommend a network for a prepaid sim. I will mostly be using it for GPRS on my Wizard with sms too.
Well, if you've got a UK bank account, I'd go for the T-Mobile 1 month contract SIM only = GBP7.50 for 50 mins plus GBP7.50 for unlimited GPRS with W'n'W.

I would go for O2 Pay & Go. A minimum top up of 10 pounds will give you loads of minutes, or a combination of texts and minutes, for the month. Check it out on O2's website.
have a t-mobile contract, which is over 12 months, and want a vario 2 on t-mobile, but i doubt they will do a decent upgrade price, ie will be better off on a new contract, but want to keep my number!
now i have several pay as you go sims, all networks unused.
how do i do it ? who do i phone first? how longs it going to take? any costs?
Contact T-Mobile and ask for PAC code (you will be put through to retentions and may be able to negotiate the deal you want here, If not)
Register one of the pay as you go SIMS and give the new network the PAC code and wait for the handover to be completed. (Orange, O2 and Virgin are good networks SIMs to use for this part).
Wait for handover to complete and old T-Mobile contract to die.
Contact the temporary network and request a PAC again.
Contact T-Mobile as a new customer, take out a new contract, and give then the second PAC code.
Wait for transfer to complete again, and your done, old number on a new contract with same network.
The whole process should take roughly 3-4 weeks and if you allready have unregistered PAYG SIMS then there is no cost. (The only cost usually is aquiring a new temporary SIM)
I stated Orange, O2 and Virgin because I know those networks don't fuss about the fast turn around on the PAYG Sim, I can't comment on other providers reactions or if they'd want to charge you for the PAC.
thanks alot for that, i have plenty of O2 sims, ( dont everyone ) think theres a few virgin and orange sims in my draw too!
come on t-mobile with the vario 2!!!
I'm visiting Toronto on Friday for a week.
I want to get a PAYG SIM for either Rodgers or Fido etc. I'll be using it to phone home to the UK, It should also include some kind of data allowance as I will be using GooleMaps/Windows Live to help me get arround.
Can anyone suggest:
1) What PAYG SIM should I get
2) Where in downtown Toronto I can purchase one. I'm staying at the corner of Queen & Yonge.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
If your phone is network unlocked you can use either a FIDO or a Rogers prepaid SIM. They are available in 10, 20, 30 and 50 dollar refills. Data rates are 0,05 per KB. You can will need to buy a sim at any retail FIDO or Rogers store but refill cards are sold everywhere ( drug stores for example )
Check the following sites for details:
FIDO:
http://www.fido.ca/portal/en/packages/prepaid_airtime.shtml
ROGERS:
http://www.shoprogers.com/store/wir...sp?shopperID=H4836NBBN3759HMF046UK8UDPPFQ3QM2
One thing the reps will try to do is charge you for the sim card, and also an activation fee for setting up the PAYG line. To get around this state that you are an existing customer and you lost your phone, or your sim card got worn out and they will give you a sim for free. Then just sign up the sim card yourself on the websites above for PAYG and you should be good to go.
Hi Folks,
The phone "officially" registered on my contract with Orange UK is an old 2G one for it has a 2G SIM. I'm looking to get a Touch HD which will need a 3G SIM.
Unfortunately, I'm told that Orange won't just give out shiny new 3G SIMs.
The obvious way to wheedle a 3G SIM out of Orange would be to simply "upgrade" to a cheap 3G phone - But because of the ancient tariff I'm on ("Everyday 50"), my local Orange shop wouldn't entertain ANY kind of upgrade, even though I am "out of contract", unless I change to a more expensive tariff !
Any ideas anyone ? "Dog ate my SIM"? Threaten to leave ?
Thanks in advance.
- Steve
If you go in somewhere like phones4u and tell them the contract you already have, they will often try to match it, sometimes by giving you a lump sum refund so that the monthly price is brought down to what you want.

That's an idea - but the plan I'm on at the moment suits me very well and is very cheap indeed (which is undoubtedly why they are not keen on giving me an upgrade phone). I can't see anyone easily matching it long-term.
I wonder if all SIMs used by orange are now 3G compatible, or would I really need to specifically get a 3G phone to get a 3G SIM?
Have you thought about going for one of the SIM only tariffs? That way you get the new SIM, the old number can be ported across and you get a lower monthly cost.
Just done it with Vodafone for their cheapest tariff and its costing me £10 for 75 mins and 500 texts on top of which i have added the £7.50 Mobile Internet. And the SIM i have is HSPDA compatible.
Oh, and one other possible plus, while it is a contract there is no long term tie in, its a rolling 30 day commitment.
I will be traveling to DC on May and I need a "pay as you go" sim card for my android device. I'm not familiar with the carriers in DC...
Could anyone please suggest a best value "pay as you go" sim card for a 2 weeks trip? And where could I get one in DC?
Usage: 80% mobile Internet, 15% voice call, 5% SMS
Thanks.
Try Go SIM
You could try GO SIM, they're a good provider of Pay As You Go SIMs for the US and their data rates are pretty good (49c per MB). They have an office in Australia and could deliver to Hong Kong before you leave on your trip. I'd add a link, but apparently I'm too new to the site!
