    No 3g on the 5th line, so can I request a 3g sim card?

    You can request one for free from o2 if you haven't received a new sim card in the last 2 years or so if I remember correctly. When I requested for mine last month they tried to charge me £10. I told them i thought it should be free and the lady said "oh yes...." since I had the 2G card for over 3 years. Dial 202 from your phone and find out.

    Thanks, just called and ordered one, no charge.

    Just need to copy everything from the sim card to the phone memory before inserting the new sim when it arrives.
