my guess is... no, i recon that it will use different settings and server like o2p&g and o2monthly it be like connecting a 56kmodem to a broadband server it wouldnt accept the settings i dont think, but i maybe wrong at the same time its late and i need sleep

Good question mate!

In theory i would have thought that you would connect at 3g speeds, but as for using the free settings, i would guess that would be down to what phone you got and if you can alter the port number.

**edit**

Or i could be wrong lol - if i remember correctly on my phones you set an internet connection as gsm or gprs. 3g phones prob have an additional box for this. If no one has solved this by tonight i will look at my girlfriends v800 and let you know.

well it looks like we need someone to delve into the world of o2 3g......with any luck o2 being "o2" im sure there will be alot of scope for taking full advantage of the services they provide so to speak.....well if anyone has any further info regarding settings and phones for o2 3g im sure plenty of people will be interested including myself so please share.

i dont think it will work - arn't the 3g sim cards different? wouldn't it be like using a non GPRS enabled sim in a GPRS phone and wondering why it doesn't work at GPRS speeds?

@mobman
yeah i know wot ur sayin but for the owners of the old genie sims,now they werent gprs sims,but all we had to do was ring up and get it gprs activated.....
has anyone switched there existing vodafone live to voda 3g?did u get a new sim card or keep ur exsisting one?
There is a point to this topic and it relies on proxys and port numbers and obviously a 3g handset....
has any1 got an unblocked 3 phone with a different networks sim card?
im debating if i should get the se v800 on vodafone gettin it unblocked and usin 02 freeness through it,but seein as no one seems to have delved into that as yet i shall keep debating to myself regarding this topic...
