hello everyone,

Just wondering if there is a way, or a general rule to determine a v2/3 simcard from a v1 (that can be used with the new technique) *without* a sim card reader..

Thanks!

sorry there is no way to identify v2/v3 externally.

Sam/Admin please call this thread. Too many "sim clone" threads around. So confusing...

Well I had a question and posting in the 15+ pages doesnt answer it really.

Is there a general rule for telling? For example, I have a 3g Optus card - too new?

Cheers

And I have a 3G Vodafone card about 1 year old... I hope it's a v1

Forget it.. This are all newer cards and not v1 ones.. If I remember right, v1 cards have for example only space for 10 sms on card. Really old cards

Found an orange sim in a nokia 3310 bought new
as the phone came out in 3 q 2000 will it be a v1 sim

WHAT ARE CHANCES.

Heh i found an Orange UK one with a picture of 10sms lucky eh ?

Good joke. :p I have a 10 year old T-Mobile (D1) SIM and I'm not sure it is a V1 SIM. Even 5-6 years old SIMs are usually NOT V1 SIMs anymore.

Good luck finding one, you need a WORKING one, not just an old one.
Ask your dad, your mom, your older relatives, maybe somebody still has a very old contract and is willing to give it away for a new one, whatever. You need a WORKING V1 SIM, otherwise forget about it.

I suppose 100% of the 3G enabled SIMs are NOT V1 SIMs.

Will the network reactivate an old sim if you supply the IMSI code ?

k what ive found:

the only one who really can tell what card you have is your provider. but

v3= 250 telephonebook entries| gsm/umts 3volt
v2=gsm 3volt
v1=gsm 5volt

you can call your provider and order a v1 sim for some bucks (germany/other countries dont know)
since mid 2002 v2 cards(germany)
