To replace a 2g payg sim simply order a free new 3g one. Call Orange payg registrations with your details and account password to "upgrade" to the new 3g sim. I did it myself last year after losing one of my Orange payg sims Free Orange payg sims at: http://freesim.orange.co.uk/ http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/simevent/ Steve Terry -- Get a free Three 3pay Sim with �2 bonus after �10 top up http://freeagent.three.co.uk/stand/view/id/5276

Remember 3 disable Orange roaming in areas where they consider their coverage to be good enough. Those areas are likely to be the urban ones, so I'd hazard a guess that a higher-concentration of Orange BTS are consequently unavailable for 3 users. It also means that should the 3 network be unavailable for whatever reason, then Orange 2G fallback is not necessarily going to be available. Regards Jon. |
