Cellular Phone Forum / General / General Topics / January 2008Mobile upgrading advice needed please
I have quite an old mobile by today's standards - a Sagem MW 3020. Basically it's a blue screen one with grey text, certainly with n picture, video or polyphonic music support. Anyway, I have pay-as-you-go account, and I'm wondering if it would be possible t upgrade my phone, preferably to one with photo and video, and game too, but I'd like to be able to transfer my sim card across and stil use the same account. Would I be able to do that? And if so what kin of phones should I be looking at? And I know that with some phones an networks you can order games and download them to your phone, but woul I be able to find out if I would be able to do that with my existin account in a new phone? Thanks for any help Edit: Also I know that some mobiles have better graphics than others what would I need to know about that -- ianpwilliams ianpwilliams schrieb: > [...] Anyway, I have a > pay-as-you-go account, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to > upgrade my phone, preferably to one with photo and video, and games > too, but I'd like to be able to transfer my sim card across and still > use the same account. Would I be able to do that? Yes, but know that phones without a contract attached cost much more than those 9,99 you see in the ads. > And if so what kind > of phones should I be looking at? From your email address, I take it you are in the UK. In that case, you need either a GSM900 or 1800 phone, depending what network you are on. Most phones (especially the flashier ones you are looknig for) are at least dualband today, so no problem here. Also make sure you get an unlocked phone, i.e. one that accepts all types of GSM SIM cards from all manufacturers. Phones sold in payg packages are mostly locked to the operator you buy it from, sometimes they are locked to the payg SIM card they are sold with. > And I know that with some phones and > networks you can order games and download them to your phone, but would > I be able to find out if I would be able to do that with my existing > account in a new phone? Most likely yes. But downloading games requires your account to support GPRS data traffic. Only your network operator can tell you if that is possible with your account and what the costs are. Depending on your tariff, cost for the data transfer alone (adding to the price of the actual game) may well be in the range of several pounds. > Thanks for any help! > > Edit: Also I know that some mobiles have better graphics than others, > what would I need to know about that? Every model is different. Find out what features you really want, then read review on the internet, make a list of candidates and then take a look at a running devices in a shop. As an alternative, just buy what your friends have... Andreas Excellent, thanks for that -- ianpwilliams |
