I find it works pretty well and yes, any 900 GSM operator wil work (i.e. O2) but, you need the credit card size sim or a standard sim in the credit card type adaptor they are normaly provided in.....if that makes sense :-[

If I'm going any kind of distance I divert my mobile to the car  :y

Just get annoyed with the O2 top-up texts every so often..

and tesco and Asda I believe.

If you cant get a sim carrier, find and old card that contained a sim and stick some sellotape over the underside of the hole.

The sim goes into the unit with the gold contacts facing up.


Works for me and I haven't had to change the tape yet in over 2 months :)

Usually yes, you pay for the forwarded call on your mobile bill of the number doing the forwarding.

Much better is to record a voicemail on your primary number saying something like 'call me on 077 etc, I'm in the car' and switch your voicemail off.

If it's important people will call, if not they'll wait

Which to mere mortals that don't work in the mobile phone industry is pretty much the same thing!!!  ;D  ;D  ;D
So ..... if I had an Orange phone how would I put an O2 SIM in it?  :-?
