Hi everyone,
I just bought myself a PAYG K3770 and am struggling to find the answers to a few questions I have, any help would be greatly appreciated.
My Dongle comes with £10 credit, 2x £ 5 which have a validity period of 30 day each. I don't want to start using these yet, my first question is:
1..I f I do a balnce check using the VMB v10.2 balance checker as long as I don't press the connect button It flashes a message up with my balance can I confirm this has not started the 30 day count down??
2.. I have an old sim which is still active it was one of the older type where the £15 credit buys 1Gb of data and does not have an expiry date as long as it is connected every so often. Can I use this Sim in my new dongle and keep the old terms ie none expiring?
Many thanks in anticipation....

You can use your non-expiring sim in your new dongle - however the settings may be different which identify it as N-Ex and it may not connect. I'm sure a mod will confirm it.

Is this true will I have to change the settings on my new dongle to allow my old Sim to work??

Hi there FauxkingPhill,
Thanks for your questions.
You'll need to change the Access Point Names (APN's) to get the SIM to work.
The none-expiry APN is as follows:
APN: pp.bundle.internet
Username: web
Password: web
The subscription will remain active for a maximum of 270 days before the number will be placed into quarantine.
Cheers,
Lee

So, in short, there's nothing to stop you switching SIM cards between the modems, you'd just need to ensure that you change the connection type via the settings menu in VMB.

Hi Tom,
Many thanks for your reply I appreciate the info.
So presuming I don't connect and activate any of the credit (service) how long will the Sim remain awaiting activation before it is rendered useless?
