Boots as Virgin and receives calls! No point in further testing. It seems likely that it'll need time and date resetting whenever the battery is removed but I expect that the intended recipient will slap an ASDA SIM in it anyway once the credit is consumed so it'll be a one-time thing. I'll keep my SL42e (now SL45i) as a backup with the VM SIM in it - it just keeps going. -- JonPhred
