Yes .. it works. Just what I needed to fill the gap between the end of my Vodacom contract bundle and the end of the month. And seems much faster than on my old Motorola V525 phone .. great.



Thanx Piesang!!!!

Yay! Finaly got my new sim! :D

Working perfect in my Novatel Merlin U740... :D

Speed seems good.. was getting around 160 kbps on the way here... but I'll need to test it for a while longer before I can confirm - only been using it 10 minutes.. :D

Thanks Piesang for your help! :D
And thanks to VM!

Brilliant - Excellent news....

If I understand it now correctly I need to upgrade my sim to at least a 128K and then it will work with this data card? (It is allready working in a Nokia 6680)

BTW: How would I be able to id my existing sim (8k, 16k, 32k, 64k, 128k or 256k) :confused:
 
Dankie Piesang

Got my 128k sim on Monday. And Tuesday... :)

Don't know what to do with the second sim though...

That's right, the 128K upgrade is all that's required but I actually don't know how to ID the sim.
 
R1300 for a 128k sim???????

All you guys have received the 128k sim. I have just received this reply from VM. Surely you guys did not cough up this much?



In regards to this query you would have to use a 128k sim which cost R1300 at the Sandton Flagship store.

Please tell me this is not the case....:eek:

That's outrageous! :mad: I only had to pay R699.00 for mine :p

Just kidding... no seriously it didn't cost me a penny...
Whoever wrote that must be smoking something or other...
 
The sim swop is free. They send you a new 128k sim and then carry over your airtime to the new sim.

The old sim will be useless then.

The R1300 that she is talking about is for the Sony-Ericsson GC85 data card that VM sells.

So she has got her info mixed up.
 
Piesang, thks for your ongoing help for my SIM. On the matter of getting their info incorrect, VM flagship store at Sandton told me (maybe a week back back over the phone) to buy a new starter pack for getting the 128KSim. According to them, the 128K SIM is only for datacard purchases…therefore I could buy a new 128K SIM starter pack after buying a 1300Rand SonyGC85. I asked Piesang for help and presto! courier's on the way

128k sim now only R139????

Piesang, seems like you are the unofficial official VM online support. Please can you help me as it is now clear that I'm not coming right with the support center.:mad:

See their latest reply to my query below....


You can purchase a 128K sim at our flagship stores it cost R139.



Thanks

Norah
