The company I work for provides me with a phone and I've had the sim in an unlocked 1st gen iphone for the last 18 months.
I want to buy a 3gs and would like to know if my sim card will provide me with 3g functionality. Is there a way of checking for this via the imie or some other way ( I dont want to ask 02 or my company in case they block anything).
Thanks
 
I'm not sure about how O2 works. But with AT&T any 3G capable sim card will work in the iPhone. It is easy to tell because AT&T has a 3G logo on their 3G-capable sim cards. You might be able to request a replacement sim card if yours won't work?
 
Why dont you ask the phone company?
If it isn't, why don't you 'lose' your sim-card. Most sim cards these days are 3G so a new one definately would be?

I don't see why your company would have any objections to you changing phones if you don't like the one they provide. I've done it in the past.
 
Here in greece Vodafone if you have contract and no card (i don;t know how to tell it in English sorry) takes the simple sim cards and provides you with no cost with new 3g card with the same number and also transfers your contacts from your old sim card to the new. So i think that you could ask this from your provider.

The card is provided by the company I work for - if I ask them is my card 3g compatible they're going to wonder why I'd want to know this, and, as they pay the bill, they'd get suspicious about my questions.
They, my company, have and make all contact with 02 in regard to bill payment etc.
 
Unless I'm missing something, the 3g functionality comes from the phone, not the sim card?

Always seems to have been the case with me.
