Hi All,
I got the new RebelSIMCARD turbosim for my iPhone 3G with Firmware 2.2 and baseband 2.28.00
This one works with the new baseband quite solid in 2G mode. 3G mode is still not stable but so far pretty stable on 2G.
Running version v54i on the trubosim microchip.
Rebel also provide you with a Programmer so you can upload new versions of the firmware to the device.
Limitations:
The turbosim might not be able to register the sim if you loose the network.
You must take it out and put it in another phone and take it back in.
You cannot ROAM to a new network as it will not be able to re-register on the new network. You must manually register on the network using a DIFFERENT phone *WITHOUT* the turbosim.
Currently what i did as an IL Orange user, using my Nokia E90, i set the Nokia with my original SIM so the network is not on Dual Network, i.e select GSM, then select IL Orange as my prefered network.
once this is over. take the SIM out, and put the RebelSIMCard with the turbosim in the iphone.
Remember, if you travel you must have with you a spare phone that you can use to re-register your original SIM on the new network, then stick it back in the iphone with the turbosim
.
At least im back on the iPhone !!!
Missed it so much….
