GeoSIM Handsets
Most people want to use their exisitng handset, but some want a "phone for travelling". We supply a small range of compatible handsets that are unlocked and SIM free meaning you can use them with GeoSIM. Take a look HERE at our range of handsets.
If using you own handset....
We currently advise against the use of Nokia model 1112 and 1116 handsets. This is not to say that they do not work, more that they can be unpredicatable due to the "Cheap" Chinese firmware used to keep the handset cost down.
Most handsets will allow normal dialling; which means you simply enter the number you wish to call, and the SIM places the call. However, some Handsets will require a prefix to be dialled.
If a particular handset generates a "call barring" type message and no callback arrives,it will be neccessary to either dial with the prefix (below - which can also be stored in your Mobile phone directory using this format) or use the "CallBack" menu option on the SIM.
Numbers should be dialed using the following format:
e.g *125*1*+447624123456# send.
Handsets that we know require "Manual Dialling" are:
Note that the Nokia N6350 and N6600 work normally and are fully capable of automatic dialling.
Many Handsets have a Menu Option called "SIM Services" when GeoSIM is inserted. If your handset needs the prefix to be dialed you can work around this by looking for the "Call Back" menu option under SIM services. Selecting this option allows you to dial normally. You could also set up a "short cut" on your handset to the Call Back menu option so you can quickly access the option and enter the number to dial normally without the Prefix.
