philips ccrt 700 question.
« on: 12 February 2008, 14:57:20 »
just fodling my new car and realising its got more gadgets than sainsbury's, i found a simcard in the stereo and upon investigation, the car is one bloody great big mobile phone, thru the ice system, it fully works as when i ring out it asks me to top up the card with credit, what i was wondering is are they locked into one network, this one is still BT Cellnet, or can i use another sim.
thanx

BT and Vodafone are the two networks you can use.

Perhaps Asda and Tesco as I think they use Vodafone.

it will not work with T-mobile or Orange or 3

Typo fixed - 900Mhz.  As opposed to 1800Mhz for Orange and T-Mobile (and derivatives)

I knew I'd read this somewhere !

IMO Tesco will purchase the frequency and set up their own mobile company somehow.

Ihave just bought a CCRT 700 to go in my 98 MV6 estate, will I need anything else except an aerial and SIM card? It has a good dispaly but there is so much talk about diferent ones I don't know which is which?? Help!! I can vaguely see a little phone symbol lurking unlit(cos there is no phone attached yet I think) on the display?? :) :)
