Hi Sanda,

First of all you need to reactivate this sim card but the easiest way is to ask the original provider to do it Swisscom in this case.

I guess I wasn't as lucky as you guys were...

Swisscom wouldn't reactivate an old V1 SIM. They said, they would send me a new one.

They told me, that I had two possibilities:

1. Get a SIM V1, that has never been activated
2. Get an activated SIM V1 and transfer it to my name

Well, I'll try again tomorrow and make them dizzy...

Thanks Phocus RS for your help!

cheers

You can use your orange number without any problem if you do a new contract with Swisscom BUT you'll need to cancel your contract with orange there is a 3 month notice and if you are on a minimum duration contract you are gonna pay something like 400.- ...

but anyway if you are not on 2 years contract with orange ... just contact swisscom and tell them you want a new contract with them and a V1 sim or your friend's sim .. they'll take care of everything

hope it helps

Sunrise SIM's before 2005 should work...

Greez us züri ;p

Hello
I have tried to get a V1 SIM Card from sunrise. I have told them I use this card for my old phone. But they wrote my that there is no way to get a V1 Card. Thats a pity, because i have lost mi old Diax SIM Card 3 month ago
Maybee I try to get a V1 Card from swisscom...

Peops, I have good friends working for Orange and Swisscom. Orange: no chance to get an v1, Swisscom: If you tell them you need a old SIM, they can send you an Natel D Sim from 1997, and this should work. I have recived my card, and it was funny, because you have to cut the card - Now, I'm strongly waiting for my Silvercard, they told me would be here today, but: Nothing yet.. Let's wait for next week.

IS SOMEBODY LIVING NEAR OLTEN WITH A WORKING IPHONE / CARDREADER AND WRITER??

Did you already tried to extract KI from your swisscom's card ?

Hey folks !

Awesome ... a Swiss Thread, cool !
Motivating indeed not to be alone here in Switzerland with an iPhone

At the moment it seems that the Supersim solution looks quite promising.
Thus I'll try to get one, too and the necessary hardware.

Since I still have an old Nokia 2110 (http://www.retrobrick.com/21102.html) somewhere, Swisscom should be convinced to give me a V1 SIM

Looking forward to hearing from your experiences with SIM unlocking/using the phone in Heidi Land !


Keep up the good fight Dev Team !!!
Great work ...


Greetings from ZH

Not yet, because I don't have a cardreader now. I will try hopefully this weekend..

hi guys,

I have just found an old diax pronto 2000 simcard. i don´t remember when I got this simcard (Probably in 2000 or 2001). Just tried to get the Ki and it worked! It took nearly 2 hours until I had the full Ki. To bad it is not activ anymore . If I´m right former diax is sunrise nowadays.
