Guest rebecker Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 I currently have a SIM installed that is unique to the country I'm in, Costa Rica. When I originally installed it, with "Enable auto configuation" and "Automatic change time zone and clock" on I experienced some serious problems with my task and appointment times. By turning off the time zone and clock setting I was able to get things to work properly. Needless to say, it scared me just a little that the SIM card could impact my data. In a short time I'm going back to the States for a visit. I have a T-Mobile SIM that I will be using there. I'd like to install it while I'm still in Costa Rica in case I run into any snags. So...here are my questions: 1. Will the phone settings that I currently have set, auto config on and auto time off stick? Or will I have to check these settings after I install the T-Mobile SIM? 2. Can I install the T-Mobile SIM in Costa Rica, understanding that it will not find service, and have it do the auto config so that it'll be functional once I get into T-Mobile coverage in the States? 3. Once I install the T-mobile SIM and then remove it to reinstall the Costa Rica SIM, am I going to be confronted with any issues? Or will the TyTN II recognize the previously installed SIMs each time they are put in? Thanks in advance. -Bob-
