Guys please help here. I bought another PP SIM as the one I am using ran out of bandwidth, and loaded it with airtime and a 100 Mb data bundle. When sending the 141 command it actually confirms I have airtime as well as the data bundle available. However I cannot connect to the internet using either the phone via GPRS (an iPAQ) or using my E220. When inserting the other (bundle-less) PP SIM it connects without problems in both devices.

Do I need to activate any services on this SIM before it can be used for data, and if so who do I call, can someone please help me here.

Many thanks, R

OK problem solved. I called 555 and spoke to a Nicholas (they answered within 3 minutes!!!:D ) who knew exactly what I was after and did it as we spoke. I am online with the new PP SIM!
