Rebel Simcard need to Re-program our v1.1 cards for free, RebelSim users post here!

There are a lot of Rebel Simcard users on XDA and many other sites who have been mis-sold a product.
We were told that it would work with 3G networks and we would be able to use Calls SMS and Data all without interruption.
As all users of Rebel Simcard v1.1 will know...this is not true.
Rebel Simcard have blatently breached the Sale of Goods act 1979 which states:
‘Wherever goods are bought they must "conform to contract". This means they must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality’.
These cards do not perform 'as described' so clearly do not "conform to contract".
Please could any v1.1 Rebel Simcard users please show your support by posting your story up on this thread.

For when rebelsim read this my email is [email protected]
I contacted rebelsim last night explaining that I am spending £15 per month for the next 12 months on an o2 sim contract because i had a phone i couldnt use and only bought because they claimed they could fully unlock it with 3g. The least they could do for me is send me a usb programmer, something they sell for £10 (and probably only costs them £2 to produce), after im going to spending £180 on a contract i only took out because of this companies false claims to unlock the streak. I even offered to send them the programmer back at my own cost after using it!
They writ back simply saying
"hi
at most we can offer you a coupon code to get £5 off
rebelsim"
Although they're not just straight out saying they cant help, which they originally did, i still dont feel it appropriate for them to sell me something, for any price, to make something work that i paid £25 pound for in the first place and has cost me a lot of money afterwards.
I would appreciate a reply from rebelsim either through here or my email address above as this is unacceptable!

how about u stop beggin and be happy they even bothered to make an updated firmware for ur phone jesus ..................... they didnt have to

We are not begging at all, where did you make that assumption from?
They didn't have to make an updated firmware for the Rebel Simcard, but what they do have to do is abide by UK law and sell something that works as it was described when sold.

last time i checked the rebelsim page they did list all the faults of the 1.1 fw ... if that would be the matter there would be an uprising , ur asking for something completely different ... like gimme a nvidia gf480 cuz u bought an 280 (as if they were identical in hw witch they arent but the rebelsims are)

I'm ditching rebelsim 1.2 seems i cant recieve calls in 3g mode. Maybe 1.3 will fix that

My rebel simply works fine... No problems at all sending/receiving call or SMS, not not had a problem using 3G ether. I do have to take it out and register with the network every so often in another phone but for 25 quid you get what you pay for... Stop complaining and buy an unlocked streak if its that much of an issue!

Well there are some of us for whom the Rebel Simcard does not work as described when sold.
This is against UK law, specifically The Sale of Goods Act 1979.
The buyer of any item covered by UK law is entitled to have it working as described when sold.
I and others like me feel we are well within our rights to complain about this matter.
To this end, Rebel Simcard have seen their error and are now re-programming everyones Rebel Simcard v1.1 for free.

I purchased the rebelsim card1.1 a few weeks ago after reading on there web site that it would work with 3g,but after putting it in and using it for a few days ,it just lost service and would not work at all,complete and utter waste of time and money,do not buy one,just get an unlocked streak,and save yourself the grief,i paid with paypal so put in a complaint to paypal and got my money refunded including postage,so my advice is stay well clear of the rebel sim cards for the streak,it is not worth it,just get an unlocked streak.

Looking for an unlock? Look here.

Seriously Just buy a rebel sim card.
Spent £15 on it yesterday arrived today.
Used a pair of wire snips to cut out the square, got a small piece of sellotape and taped it on.
put it in my dell and bingo! one dell streak with a t-mobile sim working 100%
:-D

Lets see how you get on after a few days before your smile gets too big.
I've given up on the rebelsim after firmware 1.2 let me down (lost data connection)
Good luck, keep us posted

Been using rebel ii for three weeks, it's a great piece of kit.
Apart from seeing the 3 logo on the top bar you wouldn't even know the difference.

Hey, yeah this is true.
But rebel sim 1.1 at the time (about a month ago) had LOADS of issues with the dell.
So I lost interest in it.
And after searching I found that the new firmware version of the rebel sim (1.2) works flawlessly with the streak now.
So just wanted to give people a heads up again.

So have the title read "" Rebel sim firmware 1.2"" and it is not an unlock its just a way of makeing the sim card work with the streak has nothing to do with an unlock

i love this phone having had a dozen or so in the last few years. mine is at&t unlocked so im sure the rogers one must be unlockable as well.

I just ordered one from dell after reading what froyo 2.2 can do on the streak which makes the streak a perfect device for me. The only downside is that it's locked to rogers, althought I'm on rogers network but i would love to have the flexibility to use other carriers in the event I am traveling aboard. I read somewhere that unlocking service is available but it's expensive - over $100. I checked with dell before I ordered and they said they don't offer the unlocking code. Now the last resource is going after rogers which I have not done yet, and I probably will do and just have to wait a little bit because it's still new until rogers put up the streak on their website.

I plan on using it on bell and rogers and just switch sim cards. My galaxy s is buggy as hell it will be sent away for 4 or 5 weeks for the second time and rogers doesnt work where I work but it the only other phone out in canada that I'm intrested in. well I don't mined paying 100 dollars to get it unlocked. What unlock site can be trusted.

I ordered one from Dell Canada on November 9 and the scheduled delivery date is this Thursday, November 18. When I read yesterday that unlocked Streaks are coming to the US in a few weeks with Froyo pre-loaded, I called Dell customer service (located in India) and asked to cancel my order. My order was still showing as "Not shipped" as of yesterday. The CSR told me that my order has almost gone through the manufacturing process and it is too late to cancel it now. He said I could refuse to take delivery when Purolator delivers it to me and that my money will be refunded. That's what I plan to do. I don't know if or when Dell Canada will sell the unlocked Streak, so I may have to get it from Dell USA.

I read about the unlocked version will be available soon in the US but I doubted that the unlocked version will be highly for T-Mobile users which is not compatible with rogers / at&t. Dell has exclusive contract with at&t and thus would not sell unlocked version compatible with at&t/rogers.

You brought up a very good point about proven unlocked site. I guess we just have to wait and I'm sure more unlocking service sites will pop up soon and feedbacks from users.

You might be right.

Hey guys, I am also in Canada and ordered a Streak from Rogers. I have used these guys before to unlock all the phone that I have had in the past year or so. "http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all" I have emailed them the IMEI # of the Streak and they said it would be no problem to unlock. They have a great satisfaction clause. Give them a try. BTW Rogers unlock codes are only $20.

$20 is a very good deal. Thanks for the info, I will unlock mine when I received it. Please provide feedback if it worked.

Unless things have changed in the last four days since I wrote to those guys, they said they cannot unlock the Dell Streak. It even says so on their website for the Dell Streak. I am not able to post the link, but when you go to the link you provided above, click on Rogers (it is at the top where they show the wireless carriers), then scroll down and click on 'Streak Dell of Rogers'. At the bottom of that page you will see where they say they cannot unlock the Streak. As I mentioned, to cross-check on that, I wrote them four days ago and they wrote back saying "No, sorry", they cannot unlock it.

When will rogers carry them in store i need the phone ASAP and can't get it mailed to me?

hmmm, thats weird. My email was sent today once I got confirmation of my new Streak being shipped. My email also included the IMEI, so maybe they quickly ran it. ????? Since they offer a good refund clause, I will try it when the phone shows up and let everyone know.

Rogers is selling outright for $599 and Dell is selling only $549 ........ Interesting. I bought mine from Dell and it will take weeks to get the phone but I could save $50.

I bought mine from rogers outright to use on fido.I got a rebel sim to unlock it and it worked.

I just went to the Mobileincanada website, put in the IMEI #, click on the button "Check if We can unlock your phone" and it gets back "Yes we can unlock your Dell Streak". At $20, I think this is a good deal ! Maybe I'll unlock it ... but then, I don't have any other Carrier's SIM to test.

If you put your IMEI code and it said it could then go ahead cause when i enter mine it says they can't unlock my streak at the moment. So i'm stuck with the Rebel sim card and there is no way i'm send it through the mail.

Rogers is providing unlock codes now

Rebelsim II ver 1.2 with Froyo 2.2 ?

Hi, does anyone know if locked Streaks will still have full functionality for those of us who are using Rebelsim II ver 1.2 after the upgrade to Froyo 2.2 ? I need my phone as a business tool and don't want to take the risk of upgrading when the official update becomes available shortly, then finding phone & 3g functionality is buggy. I'm still on stock 1.6 at the moment and altho a bit short on features, at least the phone works fairly dependably at the moment using Rebelsim.
Wish we could just get a straightforward unlock solution for the O2 Streak (without sending the handset across the waters, that is).
Thanks for your input.

Rebelsimcard II firmware v1.2 doesn't work with 2.2 android.
I have uprgaded rebelsimcard firmware to 1.3beta and it doesn't work.
So better stay on android 1.6 or crappy 2.1.
Or send your dell streak to dellstreakunlock.com for software factory unlock.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Damn, that sucks! Sending my phone away is just not feasible. Have you notified Rebelsim of the problem so they can work on a working firmware? Or even better, provide us with the unlock code that we can input ourselves (at a fee of course).

I've used contact form on the dellstreakunlock.com website but so far no reply.
I'm waiting too for the update and stuck with 2.2 and I'm using old phone for calls...

Come on Rebelsim ...If you can really software unlock the Streak as you claim, then why can't it be done remotely? Most Rebelsim users are from remote locations (conceivably the most common need for the unlock) so shipping our Streaks is just too risky and inconvenient (& potentially costly). I'd rather pay some of those shipping charges towards your unlock fees instead.

Hi
i can assure we can unlock the Dell Streak Fully
i know the postal service is a not the best of options
Our Teams are working on enhancing the solution for the streak so users can use our services from remote locations without the need to physically send in like we have created for for unlocking for the Dell Mini 3 / Aero
We are currently working on both the Rebel sim II 2.2 update and remote unlock solution.
Soon as Development is complete on either solution will get back to you but their is no guarantee we will accomplish either but we are giving it ago.
RebelSimcard

I can't wait for rebelsim to unlock my O2 streak as well. I will be willing to pay good money for the remote unlocking service.
But in the mean time I have flashed my phone to Steve's 2.2 Rom version 1.5.2 with the no baseband version. Both phone function and 3G works perfect, although it does have some problem with the GPS

Unlock Dell Streak - Rogers

I just had a chat with the live help on mobileincanada.com (a site I have used for unlock codes in the past) and they said for $20 they can unlock the Dell Streak. They claim it's just an unlock code and that it does not need to be running any specific version of the OS in order to do so.
Has anyone else tried this? I'm hesitant after reading here about how it cannot be unlocked.

I got an unlock code from AT&T on 1.6 running on Rogers. Updated to 2.2 and did not have to rekey the unlock.
Get that unlock code!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Just to clarify, you got AT&T to give you an unlock code for a Rogers locked device?

Took chance to ask att for unlock of my friend's o2 streak and it didn't work. They said, they would love to unlock it, but there is no such imei in their database...

If you bought your dell Streak locked to Rogers direct from Dell I have been told that it may not be unlockable. Rogers and every website I have tried has not worked. I am currently returning mine and going to buy an unlocked one.

Has anyone succesfully unlocked a Rogers Dell Streak? Has anyone tried the RebelSim to see if that might work? Please let me know.
I'm not a Rogers Customer, so if doesn't work, I will have to return the streak to Dell (if possible).
Please let me know guys.
Cheers,
Pat

Yes the unlock codes are being released now by Rogers. It's not cheap. $50 for the code (plus tax), but you have to be a Rogers customer to qualify to get the code. That's another $10 (plus tax) to buy the sim card. Once you buy the sim call Rogers and they will hook you up for free and give you a $10 credit. Don't know if that credit can be used towards the unlocking amount. My Streak is a Rogers lock Streak bought directly from Dell.ca.

I use the rebelsim and its quite nice, only issue is, the rebelsim is NOT compatible with 2.2 at the moment. The only way to make it work is to get the rebelsim beta update, and in order to do that, you must purchase the firmware loader in addition to the rebelsim which will cost the same as a rogers unlock code. If you get the rebelsim though, you can load it with any firmware to work on almost any phone in the future.

If anyone can get an unlock code for my rogers dell streak, let me know. my email to my phone is [email protected] . thanks in advance!
