E71... iPhone 3GS..question

**budda109** · 02-12-2012, 05:25 PM

Have working E71, ST. Bought a Iphone 3gs. Both take the same sim card. Can I swap them back and fourth or do I have to get the iphone its own? If I try it has anyone had any bad experience? Wondering if I might brick the sim. Sims only 15.00 but would be nice if it works. Iphone 4 and 4s use the smaller sim but the 3gs uses the same one. Thanks

Swap away... It will work just fine and won't hurt the sim card at all.

The SIM card only program is said not to work with Straight Talk phones. If you are using the SIM card from a Straight Talk Nokia E71, there is no charge for a replacement SIM card. Using two SIM cards simultaneously would require two different telephone numbers.

This program is not available with TracFone, SafeLink, NET10, Straight Talk phones or BlackBerry handsets.

like efparri stated, that would mean 2 phones, and likely 2 bills, so possible yes? but is it worth it?

Well I tried it, e71 to iphone, all works but no MMS. I ordered a new sim for iphone I wounder if the new one would open that up. I would only activate one phone at a time just want to keep my number which is easy to do. I guess I could jail break my phone sucks to have to do that.

The Nokia SIM and the buy-a-sim are the same. You will get the same results from either. You will find Info here on how to get MMS working. Once you get the I-phone properly set up you can switch the Nokia SIM back and forth between phones as often as you wish. If you want you can purchase 5 more phones, set them up and use a different phone each day of the week, all with the one SIM.

Ok, I got the phone to work. Did the jailbreak and tether-me thing. I can receive MMS. But not send I get a red (!) next to failed message. Any Thoughts? Thanks
