Question to GB and IRL people. [about 3G and phones]
Well this is a off topic section right ? so i can ask a question.

Is o2 Sim card with 3G Technology ? because i have bought a i68+ witch doesn't have 3G technology


i68+ is a is a copy or replica of and iphone look up on google.com
I'm not big on phones and how they work, but I thought 3G was from the phone and not the simcard?

Also O2 is a big company in phones, so I'm guessing they should support 3g.
O2 doesn't have 3G here, but they have i-mode, which is supposed to be nearly as fast. Only Vodafone and 3 have 3G coverage here for now

Jack - There's some kind of laws over here that phone companies have to buy the rights to broadcast on 3G I think, or else they need to pay big rent to use the 3G masts. If you buy a phone that supports 3G you'll have to register to a provider that supports it for the phone to use it. We have 99% 3G coverage nationwide, but less than half of our mobile providers actually use it...

Yup, also why 3 and Vodafone are high in their price.. If I need the internet I'll use it.. although I guess watching TV and stuff is kind of cool.
I used to watch TV when I was with Vodafone ages ago, it was like €10/month, really good value. I moved to 3 last year though, texts are 3c
I had Contract with 3... The Indian call centres pissed me off, as did £25 for 200 minutes and 100 texts..

O2, free texts to any network..... Absoloutly marvellous,

The call centres are a joke, when I joined they ballsed up my number (not the call centres mind, the "techies" :razz, so my old number was stuck in...somewhere. For 3 weeks they tried to port it again and again, until I refused to hang up until I could talk to a supervisor. They put me through to an Irish office, they fixed it on the spot, and gave me €50 and 3 month's free net. Delighted

Is that on ready to go? I also don't want to top up by €20 every month, I use about €2.50 on calls a year
I bought a phone its unloced but it sais that it dosent suport 3g but o2 is not 3g so how come it dosen't work ? oh well going to old orange or T-mobile now then i guess
but i still don't get it . what is 3G ?

Fast internet access, basically.
