Hello everyone
Did enyone now did that phone work on three network in england...?
Currently i'm on contract with three network & want to buy hd2 but im not sure is 100% work in three network.
Went to few mob seconhand but all hd2 was locked to t-mobile or vodafone so cant't testet with my sim card.
will appreciate if anyone can help
ps. sorry 4 my poor english
I'm with 3 and everything has been perfect up until recently when my phone stopped connecting to the internet when I'm at home/in the area around home. I have a strong signal but just can't connect to the internet. The strange thing is that:
- I have no problems connecting to the internet when I move to a different area/suburb
- Can connect to the internet when I stick my girlfriend's 3UK SIM card in the HD2
- Can connect to the internet with my SIM card in another phone.
The problem just seems to be with my SIM in the area that I live so I tried replacing my SIM card to see if that would fix the problem. Unfortunately it didn't so I'm not sure whether the problem is with 3 or the phone.
Sorry about the long-winded story. The point of it all is that I've encountered this funny problem, don't know what is causing it and 3 won't provide any support because I'm not using one of their phones.
I have an hd2locked on o2, and when I put another sim in it fails to register the network.
a friend came round last week and tried his 3 sim in my phone and it didn't even recognize there was a sim there at all, so I would be very wary of buying without trying if I were you.
I have been using the operator 3 for more than two years (different phone models) and I have never had any issue.
Currently, I use 3 on my HTC HD2 (Generic HTC - Sim Free) and works perfect.
The internet connection, email, mms, sms, everything works perfect.
im currently replying with a 3 sim in my htc branded hd2..
even though im on vfuk the signal is so poor that I got a 3 sim to test on their old payg 5quid unlimited net.
I get full hdpda signal and its much quicker than the same with vf when I can find a decent hspda signal with them.
seriously contemplating going to them full time when my contact ends with vfuk. as it stands I just use this at home for data and the vf for voice.
im on 3 network with a retail unlocked hd2 and can report no probs. hspda nice speed where i am, internet tethering fine to. cheers
I've got my hd2 from virgin it came unlocked but 3g signal is very weak indoors so I still use my old three card and it works perfect.
hi
thx 4 help
Three web show excellent broadband cover so hd2 should be work well.
The point of it all is that my contract is running out in 1march and three is offering me 750min 150txt 50videocall and internet =12.50£ 12month contract with some sony T715(warth90-130£ ebay) or 25£ 12month htc hero so If i will sell one of thoes phones on ebay will get money back and 12month contract will cost me around 30£ + htc hd2 around 400£= around430-450£
or
other option 1year contract with vodafone 40£/mount+84£ handsed cost =564£ 300min unlimited txt unlimited internet but fair usage policy of 500MB...?
Summarise Three=450£ vs vodafone=564£
any advice...?
Hey i just picked up a new unlocked galaxy s and am trying to use it on bell in alberta . When i first put the sim in everything was fine in was in edmonton the when i hit the road and started to head home (about 2 hours north east) it just showed a circle with a line thought it. I have searched for providers and bell shows up but when i try and connect it said this sim card can not register on this network. any ideas maybe sim card is bad but i just replaced it about a 2 months ago.
bump any ideas anyone
where did you get phone..
1. some were sent out incorrectly locked to orange
2. maybe the carrier only has 850ghz 3g in that area.. if it works in other areas.
that may be the issue. try setting it to 2g only and see if you get a signal.
Hey, so my Hermes works fine in everything, and I can turn the phone function on and off, but I get no service anywhere. At first I thought it was a problem with the SIM card, but changed my mind because I can still access all my SIM contacts. Members of my family have the same SIM card and network, and get service wherever, but I don't. I have no service in my house, nor downtown, two places I got service as recently as several days ago and as long as I have had the phone.
Hi There,
i'll be at NY next month and would like to buy 3g from one of the local suppliers
does sombody knows if there is such a service, i found somthing at T-Moblile but didnt properly understood how it works, where do i get the SIM card
Thanks,
Nadav
My Original HD2 got screwed just before Christmas (Faulty LCD and Digitiser).
As a replacement, I bought another one from ebay. Mint condition.
The phone works PERFECTLY in every way except one....
For some reason, my phone thinks its roaming CONSTANTLY, and if I turn off the 'data connection while roaming' then I cant connect to the internet.
This isnt actually a phone fault, but seems to be directly related to the SIM card.
Im living in Ireland and have a Meteor SIM which shows as roaming CONSTANTLY. Tried it with WM factory rom, energyrom, Android from SD card and Nand. All OSes show it as roaming even though Meteor is an IRISH company, and I bought the card in a local Carphone warehouse.
If I change the SIM to a vodafone (Ireland) one, or Tesco one, they show correctly as non-roaming.
Is there a possibility that the phone has some sort of ID which the Meteor Sim is reading but the others cant?
If not, Is there anything I can do to the SIM, or any phone settings that I am missing in order to get this issue resolved. Starting to annoy the HELL out of me.......
What network do Metior use? I had a similar problem with a 3 sim card. This kept coming up as roaming although I was only local. The 3 shop said that if you lose a 3G signal it will show as roaming and transfer you to a partner network ( 3 use orange) could it be similar with your sim?
May well be. The area I am in is low on 3g coverage from Meteor, and drops to Edge.
FINALLY got in touch with customer services at meteor and they hadnt a clue why I should show as roaming, but my bill shows NO roaming charges and infact the account wasnt even set up for roaming.....
