Hello,

I recently got a 9700 and am getting on well with it, I am currently using a 3G SIM card.

I have been given a new SIM which says 'GSM' on it, I haven't used it yet as my BIS gets activated on July 1st.

I always thought that GSM was slow and unable to handle data, I am told that this is wrong and it will be fine.

Will this work well with the 9700 or will it take forever trying to email a picture?

Thanks for feedback.

You are confusing a couple things.

GSM is a standard, and your 9700 that takes a sim card is GSM.

You are thinking GPRS and that is a slow data rate (less than EDGE)

If you use the other sim, your BIS wont work as its on your 3g sim (calling it a 3g sim so you know wich one im referring to). If you want to use the one that says GSM you can if the following is true:

1. it is from your carrier (that the 9700 is locked to)
2. You call your carrier and switch the sim in thier system so the BIS is tied to the right sim

TheRinger - thanks for the reply and the info.
