90% Working. Even staying just at my house will cause outs randomly. Outs do not happen often. They are usually followed by a quick reconnect (usually around 5-30 seconds). The longest out was for nearly 1 min.

Okay, I just wanted to expand on using the Next SIM 6 with T-Mobile. Basically you need the newer 64k SIM cards that are made in China for it to work. If you have the older 32k made in USA SIM card, it won't work. Easy way of telling is the rows of numbers should have 5 digits and not 4.

I've tested this with my old 32k SIM, new old stock 32k SIM and a new 64k SIM.

China3GP (I don't see any other words on the sim, so it's just China3GP..not ismartphone i guess..

It works fine for a week without any problem, just one time yesterday the phone has no reception all of a sudden, need to put the simcard into another phone and get netowrk signal. and things came back thereafter.

oo btw, it's Fido ST32.

I just go my red P905 today. My mom got it for me in HK and it came with the sim hack. I am not sure what version the sim is..but it when I put it in the phone the phone saids "Insert UIM"

the sim hack has a really thick chip at the top right corner of the card. Does anyone have an idea of which sim hack it might be? Or have any suggestions on how to get my phone to work?

PS i am on rogers with 3040 sim card.

[MyLoveForTofu]

A lot of sim hacks are like as you described...but it isn't a Next V7 if the chip is thick.
Btw if the phone says INSERT UIM instead of unrecognized uim it means your sim hack is useless for the phone. >_>

hi, just want to ask you how's the P905i working on t mobile, does the signal suck?

[Rakukojin]

Nope, the signal is strong for me but I haven't traveled far with it at all (mainly just to school).

[ultramat]

someforum said that they can software unlock P905 and F905 now, can anyone confirm this please?

[joshyth]

Good, then I don't have to bring two phone on me all the time.

does anyone know if I-smartphone 2008 is the same as I-smartsim 2008?

[EpsilonZero]

does anyone know if I-smartphone 2008 is the same as I-smartsim 2008?

its not: i-smartphone 2008 uses F300A chip whereas the i-smartsim 2008 uses some other chipset that got scracthed out.

the i-smartsim2008 (the one on the right) is apparently works for at&t(cingular) 3g sim (good news). calling and sms does work. im gonna field test in the next few days as im gonna drive around

oh, can you tell me where I can find i-smartsim 2008, cause it'll be perfect if I could use my P950i on my main number(At&t). For the moment, i'm using nextsim v6 for my t mobile pay as you go service, which suck.
