'3' SIM will roam onto 2G in extremis, but if you put one in a 2G phone [or in this case 2G slot] then '3' will cut you off. So are you saying that there *isn't* a solution? Why did it work in Australia? Would the '3' SIM have been roaming on 2G there? Either of the slots in my phone can be 3G - but seemingly not both at the same time. Is there any fix for that? -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked.
