Hi there
Right then, here's my story.
I am the proud owner of a brand new K800i .
I have put my Orange 2G pay as you go sim in it (or maybe 2.5G I don’t know).
With my 2G Orange pay as you go sim card I put on £20 per month and get 600 free texts (anytime), and I also have 2 Magic Numbers on it (15p for up to an hours call).
This is the best and cheapest way for me to operate my mobile phone as I text a lot, and only really ever phone these two numbers anyway.
Of course I cannot use the 3G functions on the phone, as I haven’t got a 3G sim card in it.
So I purchased a 3G Pay As You Go sim card off ebay (for 99p including P&P...BARGAIN!), but in the booklet that came with it, it speaks of a different talk plan, and different reward scheme to the one that I'm currently on.
You get up to 50% of your top up back each month or up to 1000 free texts a month, unfortunately for me this is rubbish, as I don’t want to put anymore than £20 a month on, and will thus only get 200 free texts a month (not the 600 I get now).
Usually I send about 500 texts a month, so you can see where I'm coming from.
Anyway, what I really want to know is.....
1. Can I swap my current Orange (2g) number onto this orange 3G Pay as you go sim?
2. Can I keep my talk plan that I'm on at the moment (the one with 600 free texts a month for topping up £20 per month) on this new 3G sim card?
3.Can I keep my magic numbers on this new 3G sim card?
Has anyone out there done this?
Also will it make any difference at all if I give them a different IMEI number to the one that the sim card will be in?
I tried to phone orange PAYG registrations but got through to some chap that could barely speak English and didn’t understand me at all.
So, can anyone help?
Thanks

p.s. I apologise if this is in the wrong forum section, but I couldn’t find anywhere else more appropriate to post it.
