That's not true eother I'm afraid. All new SIMs are black, both 2G and 3G. Regards Jon

Try getting a replacement sim for an OVP Don't look for sense in it, Orange has long been run by lunatics, your only hope is to outwit them Orange isn't a Mobile phone network, they're a secret branch of Mensa Steve Terry -- Get a free Three 3pay Sim with �2 bonus after �10 top up http://freeagent.three.co.uk/stand/view/id/5276

I've just ported to Orange because I can get full 3G reception where I work. I left O2 because their coverage is poor in the areas I need it to be good. My customer service experience to date has been mixed but the network is good so far. I suppose I need to keep away from CS.... :-)) -- O2 UK Home Broadband & Vodafone IE Mobile Broadband user |
