Guest Aquillae Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I've only used a RebelSim with a Palm Pre previously but it sounds like no one is resetting the network key on the sim card. These instructions are from the iPhone guide but the same applies to all phones. http://www.rebelsimcard.com/virtu/images/d...usage-guide.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are selling this as a solution out of box which don't seem to be the case. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aquillae Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Well to make it easier for you this is the guide I followed when I had a Palm Pre with a T-Mobile sim. If you watch that you should get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says not to use a phone that initialises in 3G umts mode which I'm guessing my N1 would do... Hmmmmmmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guide is a bit out of date but it worked fine for me when I used my old G1 sim in a Palm Pre. The important part is changing the network on an existing phone, I had no trouble for months once that was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AndyCr15 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm getting caught over 2 threads here... I guess this is the one we should use, it's specifically about the Rebel Sim :) So, I've just realised they ask you to turn on Roaming. I've done this and my internet connection has come on with a H :) Am I going to end up paying for roaming rather than my usual internet charges? That'll cost me a poop load. I don't necessarily have faith in the people at Orange to understand if I try to explain all this. How can I tell quickly if I'm paying roaming charges?

Well unless i'm wrong roaming charges only come in if your out of country??? I monitor my Orange contract online especially the charges.... However i'm sure that this can be confirmed by others and I know people are using the rebelsim with T-mobile etc.... So have you got full use now 2g/3G MMS etc?

Here is my problem though. I'm selling my N1 so I will not have another handset to do this with. Is this something you have to do from time to time with the Rebel Sim? Is this why they sell the programmer for updates to the firmware or is that something different to obtaining networks keys (i'm guessing it's the latter)....

Guest AndyCr15 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Yeah, I seem to have full HSDPA now. Okay, here's another problem though, perhaps linked to it thinking I'm roaming, I can't get access to any paid apps in the market? Market Enabler wont work (just says 'Houston, we have a problem' when I tap to enable) Any ideas? This would be a deal breaker :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Well I used a Palm Pre for about 6 months and never had to reset it, but I've read on other forums that some people have to reset it again sometimes. The programmer is just for updating the firmware or changing the mode of the rebelsim and has nothing to do with the network keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
