You're right, they only last a month or two.

That's why we do between 200 and 400 million sim swaps a year and why you see thousands of complaints on the subject on this forum.....

Anything new can break, even if it's only a month old, your PC, car, TV or even your SIM. Best to get it replaced and at the same time check the firmware on your handset.

I took my data sim out the other day and my iPhone would not read it. On closer inspection I saw the sim has two 'dents' in two of the contacts, obviously caused by some device I used at some point. Still works fine in the E220 though.

So, it's often a factor of the type of sim socket the manufacturer use.

thanks for the response, now this actually sounds more constructive than the IC moderator's response. Yes ofcoz, anything new can break, but i can not keep on doing a sim swop for such a high frequency like this, from last year until this year, i had sim swop for 7 times already, i still have the receipt tho, and my brother have no problem with his mtn sim card for almost 3 years now!? does these vodacom sim card carry any warranty?coz it doesn't say on the package.

If anything breaks 7 times in a row, I'd strongly look at some common denominator. Sure your phone (or you?)is not eating these SIMs', maybe faulty electronics in the phone?

I've got a 16K SIM (the old white one) in my one phone that must be around 10+ years old by now.....actually with around 10 different contracts, I can only remember one SIM swap and that was when I lost the original one.....

advice? so far, i can not see any constructive advice from you beside your uneducated responses, i think you are just denying and blame peple making uneducated guesses whereas the fact is that you simply just don't want to accept the complaint!

Like i said in my previous post when the problem occurs i tried to use other phone to test if the problem is on my phone or on sim card, and it showed that the problem is not on n95, 2ndly this problem has happened to my previous sim cards as well, same problem occured after 2 month, because of this problem i had to do sim swop for almost every 2 month!
3rdly, i am not the only one here complaning about the network problem.

so i don't understand your logic of making "uneducated guesses" coz i "explained" so "clearly" in my previous post. My conclusion is that either you don't read before you post or you just put all complaints into one "uneducated guess" catagory, instead of solving the problem, and this kind of attitude just make me laugh.

Why is it that you are the only person complaining in this thread about having to change their SIM card all the time?

PS: I do not work for Vodacom, so I have no reason to reject or accept your complaint about having to change your SIM card every 2 months or whatever.
