Hi Guys
i recently bought an imate jam on ebay.
The fone works well am in town. Within the city centre. when i leave the city less than a km am off the network.
so i talked to the Imate guys and after giving them my imei number:355912008063080 the guy told me that that fone only works for North America.
So they told me to return the set to the shop. and the shop accepts no returns. so am stuck with the set.
Is there a way to make this fone work? I assume its to do with the bands or frequencies!

Hey i'm a unlucky owner of a O2 Atom, and i've had the fauly headphone/mainboard problem come up for the second time, so i've sent of today (18/04/07) to repair centre in QLD, but my Warranty runs out on the 21st!!!
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck in convincing O2 to giving them a totally new phone rather than getting the same Flaw riddled build of the Atom.
I've sent of the old 'dirty/I not happy email', but what have other people experienced with the o2 after sale services?
*edit: QLD = Queensland, I'm in Victoria Australia
you should probably point out to all our overseas listeners that QLD actually means Queensland in Australia.
mobile phone problem
I have had the same problem with my mobile phone O2. iPelagos.com agreed to replace this for me. I dont know but this is unlucky.

What did you have to do to get that phone? did u whinge? send email? make phone calls??
and what was wrong with u Mini S?
I can't help but to notice that i-mate has totally died out in the UK, and probably Europe. I just haven't seen a single unit in any proper retail stores (but I did spot a second hand Ultimate 6150 on Tottenham Court Road a little while back).
I guess they've given up since they dropped HTC? Not loving UK anymore? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyone still fans of i-mate?
think they moved to dubai
and then hong kong or something
and they went broke or was close to
their HQ has always been in Dubai.
they recently had a trade show in Singapore and apparently signed a deal with a Singapore mobile network company.
I deal with I-Mate.
I have an email from their US rep, which he sent to me on February 28, 2008 that everything should be out within the next 2 months. I am holding that to him, trust me.
We shall see.
Guys,
I am travelling from Sydney Australia to Vegas in the USA shortly and need to forward my mobile to a prepaid sim I will buy when i land in LA, I was thinking of forwarding my Oz 3 sim to a Skype 'landline number I could buy for $24 for 3 months, then forwarding this to the USA sim card that will be in my mobile when over there? Is this a good idea or can you think of a better way?
Roaming on 3 for Oz people is disgusting, last time I travelled I racked up $700 bill in 4 days!!!!
ps
Whats a good 3G mobile provider in CA & AZ area, do you guys have mobile broadband available on pre-paids?
I actually never seen a place for or to buy prepaid sim cards. Here in the states
Thought that was only in europe

Nope all throughout Aisa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji Islands etc...no one gets screwed on 12/24 month plans anymore...you guys need to keep up ;-)
Well just called o2 and 3 and both of their pay and go ones are locked to their network...
Carphone warehouse is not stocking them.. And phones 4 u only have vodaphone
Anyone know where I can walk into a shop in the UK and buy this phone sim free
without contract? And hopefully unbranded
I know you can get them online but I just like the idea of walking into a shop if I have a problem and not having to mess around with online stores
Thanks guys
Phones 4 U should have tem at some point in the next week if not already
bought handset only on vodafone
they say its locked , but 3 different sims worked for me..
i guess its just branded
I will be in the UK (London, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness...) in a couple weeks and trying to figure out where to get a SIM card for my P5100.
Which providers will have the best coverage in the bands that P5100 supports?
I have been told “wait and buy a SIM card once you arrive in London”... But what stores can I walk into to buy a SIM?
Vodafone is the only provider I found that has stores you can walk into. Others (GiffGaff, Three, ...) you must have the SIM shipped to a UK address.
Thanks!
Go into any phone shop , o2 , Orange , Tmobile , Carphone Wharehouse , Phones4U. Websites have full details of plans and sim specs.
I have an 02 phone and a Tmobile one. Both pretty similar in service. o2 would be best for o2 to o2 calls and texts , maybe data .
T mobile is fairly cheap for cross network calls and data. Think Orange is fairly decent for Data , not sure about calls to be honest. I take it you will be using a " pay as you go" top up service ? Sims start at around £1.00 , Sometimes the shops give them away for free, just to get some custom as you normally top up with credit when you get a sim.Obviously check out the sims first to make sure they are what you want.Not really sure what kind of usage you need ?
Argos ( general store that sells absolutely everything) sell all sims at £1.00, just checked for you. They have stores nationwide and have branches in most towns. They even have a store locator on the website.Not sure if that would be any good for you , but its an option.
If your coming to London , bring a water proof jacket with you lol Oooh I love London :laugh:
