Hello, I wouldnt mind asking a couple questions on o2 3G.
I have a Sony Ericsson K800i sim free, I use my old Genie sim card in it (o2 online sim, 300 text and 1MB GPRS a month free pay as you go)
I have just had a USIM delivered and im having my number and credit transfered to the USIM.
I was wanting to ask, with o2 3G, is i-mode o2's word for 3G or is i-mode any different to 3G? Also, would you need any different settings for UTMS or are o2's GPRS and MMS settings the exact same?

i mode is a seperate internet portal, not connected to 3G and is only available on selected i mode compatible handsets. not the k800

i-mode is that dodgy flashing java style web pages isnt it? I remember viewing some i-mode sites years ago.
So what can I expect with a o2 USIM? has it got UTMS? Thats suposed to be faster than normal GPRS isnt it?
Also, will the internet and MMS settings be different with a USIM or the same?

imode only got launched late last year.....as said its different to the regular o2 active stuff.
replacement sims should be 3g ones...if not get them to send you a proper 3g one

hey toney, you wont need any different settings in your phone, everything will be exactly the same as before but it'll be faster (providing you have coverage of course, which you can check here

I phoned O2 yesterday afternoon to have my number transferred on to my 3G sim. He told me he would call me back when it was done.
1 hour later it was done.
Good work!

Basically what I was told was that I would gradually start losing signal and then wrong IMEI would appear on my phone screen. When I see that I should put the new USIM inisde and switch my phone off checking ever couple hours if its working by switching it on.
Well its 14:30 nothing different yet.

I have moved over to Orange 3G as O2 dont support email on payg phones - according to their technical department.
Orange say it will take 5 days.
Slightly off topic....
If I top up on my new Orange number, will that credit still be there when my old O2 number is transferred over onto my new Orange sim?

nope, to make sure it is, call them up asap so that they can transfer it to the new number.
Im working off o2 doings so cant vouch for Oranges policy
