People on the 3 network with a Nokia 7600

steeev

if interested, I found a place in Camden, London , that will do a factory reset (and unlock) on your '3' 7600 to enable 2g services all the time - without it searching for the '3' network on all sims. They charge £5, and take about 5 mins to do it! not sure if ok to post this - but sure it will be removed if not:

Embassy repairs, Unit 4-5 Centric Close, Oval Road, Camden. tel 02074859873

now have an unlocked / sim free 7600 without the 3 problems!! (and its on now on Ebay for sale cos its still an ugly phone with a !!!!!! of a navigation system!! ;D)

cheers for the info!

OK have read and understood (I think) all the bits about unlocking and getting the thing reset to use 2G instead of 3G. But, like the original poster I have no interest in 3G or the 7600 phone. What I would like is to take advantage of the £3 per month rental agreement with the free minutes and texts etc.

I want to continue using my 3510i.

What do I need to do to get the sim working on my 3510i using the 3 contract? (Phone is unlocked)

Any guidance appreciated.

No good!

You can only use the 3 SIM in a proper 3 phone.

(The problem about using it in another is that 3 are informed by o2 of the handset's identity. Once they realise what you have done, they kill the SIM and issue a new one which is fixed to only work in its original 3 handset)

So the best I can do is to use the ugly 7600 and lock it to 2G?

Any idea if 3 are happy for you to use a 3g handset from another network? Probably not an issue till the other networks do PAYG 3g.......

Sorry if this is an obvious question but what's stopping me taking up the 7600 offer and then putting that sim in one of their Pay as U go phones which are far nicer.
Agreed that it means paying £50-60 for another phone but then that sim can be put into the 7600 to make that an emergency PAYG phone

That should be ok to do
