o2 XDA Exec sim in c500?

[Guest bigkahuna]

I'm keen on getting an XDA Exec from o2 online but I would also still like to use my old SPV c500 from time to time.

Would the o2 3g sim work in the c500? I just rang o2 who said "no it wouldn't". However I do remenber getting a 3 simcard to work in my SPV classic a few years back.

Could anyone confirm this??

Cheers.

A SIM card is a SIM card is ....you can use it in your Notebook computer too if it has the right slot ;)

I have used the same SIM from a C500 into an iMate Jam and now in a C550.

I know that sim cards will work from other GSM phones I just wasn't sure about a sim card from a 3g phone being that 3g and GSM are different types of network.

o2 are offering a 14 day trial anyway so if it doesn't work I can always send it back.

Thanks guys :D

A SIM card is a SIM card but a USIM card is a USIM card.

3G SIM cards are USIM cards which is what you get with 3G phones such as the Exec. I know that Three USIMS do NOT now work with 2/2.5G phones (the old ones do but newer ones don't) If you use a Three USIM in a 2/2.5G phone for any length of time they will disable it and send you a new one which will only work in 3G phones.

I would not think that O2 would do that though as it does not make a lot of difference to them and as Nos said his worked fine in his C500 there should be no reason why an O2 USIM shouldn't work in any unlocked C500.

HTH
