This lady is telling me that I need a 3G sim card otherwise my 3G wont work???

[thewannabeenforcer:P]

Anyone have a 3G sim card, or heard anything about this??


By lady I mean tmo rep on the phone with me right now. This is the 1st Ive heard about this.

Thats not true. Took my card right out of my unlocked iPhone & I have 3g service. My sim is so old the #'s are gone off it.

I've had the same SIM card for like 5 years and I get 3g...she's just trying to get more money since SIM cards are like 30 bucks

[thewannabeenforcer:P]

She just said ALL 3G phone are required to have a 3G sim Card, I told her that cant be true but she is promising me this.

She also said all ne 3g phones are supposed to get bnew sim cards to go with them....

$20, actually.

It's possible that you may need to get a new SIM card, depending on the condition of it. If it's old and a little roughed up, it may require a new SIM card. It's hard to say if that's the problem or not.

OK on hold for the 3rd time....

[osuka]

she's either lying or doesn't know what she's talking about, the phones are the ones that have the 3g capavilities not the sims cards (if it was sim cards people that had 3g phones before the iphone 3g came out would've have been able to get 3g on the first gen iphone)

I can't guarantee you that you don't need a newer sim card, but I can guarantee you that you don't need a "3G Sim Card" LOL.

Some Tmo reps are morons. My SimCard is originally from an HTC Wing then a 2G Blackberry, and I didn't get a new SIM card with my G1 either, and it works . . . well, it works pretty well.

True story.

My g1 came with a sim card, but i haven't used it. My old sim card works fine with the 3g, but it seems about the same speed as the 1st gen iphone so who knows.

I think she was confused with ATT, who requires that you use a sim card thats 3g supportive. If you look at the new iphones the sim cards say 3g on it. The sim card i got with tmobile doesn't

[jayroam]

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. I just popped in my old sim card that I've had for 5 or 6 years, and 3g has been good to go

Now if the new sim card in the box could give me better battery life, i'd give it a try. haha =P
