Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 I thought i'd start this thread before things started to get out of hand :wub: The TyTN II has started shipping from a number of UK retailers - including eXpansys with our exclusive MoDaCo Special Offer - and they'll be dropping into the hands of eager customers any time now. All the stores will tell you there's never been a launch like it... so this topic is for YOU to post if you're one of the lucky ones! Pics, loves, hates, anything... this is where it goes :D And everyone - enjoy! Ooh, it feels like an early Christmas ;) P

Guest Sonicr360 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Lookgs great!! I want one SO much, but does anyone know or advise on the following........ Im with vodafone and want to be 3G enabled - If I buy this SIM-FREE from another company (anyone else selling one other than expansys?) how can I get it for 3G and the fast internet connections? simon
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Er, as long as you have a 3G SIM it'll be fine. P
Guest Hightech Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Er, as long as you have a 3G SIM it'll be fine. P How would one know if there SIM card is 3G???
Guest Re-D Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) How would one know if there SIM card is 3G??? I have a 5 years old sim card at vodafone and there is no problem using even with HSDPA (3,5G). So if you have to have a contract with your provider then you able to use 3G on any devices. In our country it can be done with a simple SMS to them and they are automaticly activating/deactivating the service or i can change it at MyVodafone or call the CS (Costumer service). For more information contact with your provider. ;) Edited September 4, 2007 by Re-D
Guest Sonicr360 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Hi Paul, I think that is the problem I am faced with - As far as I know its not 3G enabled - I only get GPRS. So ... if I get the modaco offer.... do I go back to Vodafone to get a 3G card or something (SIM) ? Sorry for the dumb question, but wanted to be sure what I am doing is right ! Simon
Guest damianbyrne Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 @Hightec - There should be a "G" on your SIM as part of its IMEI @Sonicr360 - Vodafone are bringing this out in the next few weeks as the V1615, if you don't have a 3G card you should be able to get yours swapped for around £10 - £20. I'm not sure if my supplier deals direct to the public, however you could always try as they are UK distributers for HTC have a look at http://www.hughsymons.com/
Guest Sonicr360 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Hi damianbyrne, Ok well I spoke to Vodafone business centre (where my mobile is registered with) and they tell me that I do not need to do anything and it should just "work". Tried to explain I have never had 3G before, but she believes it will just work without doing anything. I think she may have got the wrong end of the stick here ! I have an old XDA EXEC and I am sure that was 3G enabled so I can plug my SIM into this - does anyone know if you have to configure any settings on the XDA EXEC for 3G use ?
Guest Dade Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Dade's is waiting for him at home, post here is SLOW, so he'll win that one I think ;) P Got mine this morning but I wasn't there to play with it until this afternoon!

You don't have to do anything to "Enable" 3G, it either works or it doesn't, what you must remember however is the coverage of 3G, if you are not in 3G coverage you will only get GPRS. OK I have just looked at a £G Vodafone SIM I have and the format of a 3G SIM number is as follows 8944 1000 1234 5678 9012 G123 (This is not a real IMEI number, just the correct format) The G in this case symbolises it's a 3G SIM, if your sim does not have the G, then it is not 3G HTH
Guest NuShrike Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Hi damianbyrne. Very nice pics! So what accessories did you get with it in the retail boxing?
Guest davidjtaylor Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 If i bought the tytn2 and gor a 3 uk sim would this work or do 3 work differently to the other networks? d

I'm afraid it will not work. Your SIM will not be 3G unless you have had a 3G sim card upgrade in the past. I bought a TyTn 1 and had to purchase a new sim card to access 3g speeds etc.
