Thank you, I did it! I was actually going to write something similar today... I was using my 3G without the cell phone, waiting for my any-network sim card holder thingy, and was happy syncing contacts and music and apps... then I put in the card, which seems to work so far though took me about 45 minutes bending it in the right way for it to fit. Happy it was working here in China, but when I connected it to my MacBook Pro, itunes said it couldn't recognize the SIM. I couldn't find anything on the net about it, and was about to post a thread and came across yours. I hadn't heard about using the airplane mode, and it worked, so my problem is probably solved, at least for now, as you wrote in the thread. Thanks for that tip, nickafc1903! Have you tried rebelsim support?
