3G SIM Card
So reading into a little bit about 3G... I guess we need to have a 3G enabled SIM card in order to use any 3G Network.
So for those of us who do not use T-Mobile phones but choose to use unlocked phones, we would need to get a new 3G Enabled SIM card to use the 3G features?

Re: 3G SIM Card
USIM contains some special 3G MNC, but regular SIM (except some really old one) works just fine
"stick together" SIM works, and I am using it

Re: 3G SIM Card
The SIM card has nothing to do with what kind of data connection you can get. The Dash, like nearly every other T-Mobile phone on the market, is only capable of EDGE speeds. The radio decides what kind of connectivity you get. Newer SIM cards, which I don't think T-mobile is even using yet, just have extra storage capacity.

Yup. I talked to T-Mobile tech support today before bidding on a non-3G phone. They said it will work fine. The phone controls the 3G access, not the sim card.

Re: 3G SIM Card
I have a samsung SGH-A127 that has a ATT 3G sim card.
The cell no longer has service, so i cant email them. What other ways are there to get pictures onto my PC? I have to USB cable for the cell, but my pc doesnt recognize it...I've been to the samsung website which was no help.

Re: 3G SIM Card
The simplest way would be to find someone with AT&T, borrow their SIM, and email yourself the pics.
Another way is to unlock your old phone. I don't have that model so I can't test it but it's worth giving this a try. Check out this forum and check out post #13 Samsung A437 unlock - GSM-Forum 1.) Insert different carrier sim to get wrong card on the screen. 2.) Enter on the keypad *7465625*638*00000000*00000000# 3.) Nothing happens, press the end button once. 4.) Press *2767*2878# 5.) Phone reboots. 6.) Now enter #7465625*638*00000000# and simlock is de-activated. Claims it works on the A127
