[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 991762, member: 61193"] At last!!! One of the online firms sold me a 3G Orange PAYG SIM. :D It doesn't say that on the SIM, but the packaging says 3G in large writing. I plugged it into the iPhone at work and it would not connect. All of the 2G ones were interchangeable without needing iTunes, so that might be a good sign. This one is different. I brought it home and fitted it - then connected to iTunes. Nothing. I reset and restored the iPhone again, so the connection string would be downloaded again. Nothing. So after 5 weeks, at last I have a 3G PAYG Orange SIM - and it doesn't work in the iPhone. Very, very tempted to say a rude word or two :( I suppose if my Boss happens to be out, I could spend an afternoon trying to call Orange Support. :Smirk: [/QUOTE]
