Just upgraded my Motorola V3 to a Z3 and it wouldn't work. Kept telling me to put the SIM card in even though it was in. Tried it with another one and the same happened again. Tried it with 2 others that I have and they both worked. Strange, I thought to myself so rang my provider. Apprently the first 2 SIM cards are too old for the phone (one from '98 and the other about 2000) and the voltage has changed so I have to get 2 new SIM cards. More outlay...

Never had a problem, possibly UK networks. Used it all over the world with clear reception. I like them as they connect via USB to my laptop and I can use it as a modem if I have to.Originally posted by PRC1964I've given up with Motorolas they have too many dropped signals.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
