    Orange 2G to 3G ?

    I just got a new contract on Orange with a 2G phone. I was intending to use the Sim in my Nokia 6630 in 3G but the SIM supplied by Orange is 2G only. After calling CS the tell me that there is no way to upgrade to a 3G sim...
    Any one knows a way around it ? Seems a bit silly to me...

    Go on ebay look for Orange USIM they are about a fiver now i think new and sealed, was a tenner back in the day i got one.
    When it arrives, ring CS and tell them you have aqquired a 3g sim and wish to port your number to the new sim, give htem the new sim card "number" on the packet and it should be doable. I got a really nice gal who transferred it all for me and send a hit to the other sim to kill it of. Just proves its possible, so dont let them tell you otherwise! good luck mate.

    Bugger, i do wish i'd read before i go jumping in
    Hmm, no idea you could always enquire if you purchased a new unregistered USIM if you could transfer the contract over?
    They did it with my PayG sim dunno how you stand for a contract tho.
    You should complain if they are begrudging since their 3G devices should come with Usims in the box surely?
