Wtd old orange SIM card PAYG
Hi Folks, I need an old orange PAYG SIM card (which works) from before 3G came out.
I want to use my old fashioned Brick but it won't accept 3G SIM cards. I have a new Orange SIM with £5 credit on it to swap if anyone can help
out?
Cheers
Mark

he - it was one of the very first digital phones with a SIM card I bought new from orange when they first came out. I had it working a couple of
years ago. I just used to put my normal SIM in it and it worked but that was before 3G came out.

Should still work, I would suspect the phone is dead.

Well I thought that however a bit of research on the web suggests that this might not be the case

I'll send one to you if you want ^_^ (i've been in ramsgate for 3 weeks looking after a relative so I've not looked any more into my
old nokias since), they didn't work with my 2140 (which is locked to orange) but vodafone and cellnet were selectable when I manually search for
networks
so getting hold of a vodafone PAYG sim is next on my list...

The 2140 fits in pockets okay (middle phone in pic) but the 9000i is pushing it
