Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / January 2005Prepaid with unlocked V551
I just bought a unlocked V551 without a SIM to use for prepaid service. I thought about using T-mobile prepaid. What do I have to do to start using prepaid cards ?? Also, can I or can I not access the T-Zones on my V551 ? What's this I hear about having to 'reflash the firmwear', and how do you get that done ? So far, I think I just brought on alot of aggrevation for myself. Thanks for any help you can give me. >I just bought a unlocked V551 without a SIM to use for prepaid service.

(1) subscribe to that service, and (b) configure the phone properly.

Any GSM phone needs a SIM to work (except for emergency calls). >You mean I don't need a SIM card in the phone to use prepaid cards ?? >I thought you had to have one in there to store your info.

Do I have to get a SIM from a carrier ? Can it be ANY carriers SIM, since I have a unlocked (cingular) phone ? Can I use one carriers SIM and anothers prepaid wireless cards ? Thanks again. > Any GSM phone needs a SIM to work (except for emergency calls). > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >> > >> Thanks for any help you can give me. You need a correct SIM for the particular service (prepaid or postpaid), available from the service provider and often from resellers as well; you can't use a Service X SIM for Service Y. >In case you haven't picked up on it yet, I'm stoopid about this stuff.

You'll need a SIM card. Without a SIM card all you can do is call emergency services (112 or 911.) If your phone is unlocked you can use any SIM and it will work provided the service that the SIM is on is compatible with the area that you are in (a single band 1900 phone won't work in an area with only 850 for instance.) Or in Europe if your phone only can receive 1800 you cannot use a 900 network. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Użytkownik Culchie napisał: > I just bought a unlocked V551 without a SIM to use for prepaid service.

Your unlocked V551 should work propertly without any prepaid services. If you have heared about reflashing the firmware - good. You should do it in nerest cell phone service. I think, that someone before tried to reflash firmware in this phone - and he failed... Do it again in professional service... It should be ok. |
