3600 slide overseas sim compatibility

*Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, so please move if need be.
I am heading to Europe for 6 weeks this year and was wondering if:
as well as enabling my prepaid simcard from Optus for global roaming (to check messages), can I buy a different European prepaid simcard (in Denmark, our first stop for example) and use it in my 3600 slide the whole time over in continental Europe, and just discard it before returning to Australia?
This would save me having to buy a new cheap phone and then discard that whole unit, or using my Optus simcard on global roaming charges the whole time between my travel group in Europe.
It all makes sense to me, but I may be overlooking something.
TIA for any tips.

If your phone is SIM-locked to your network, you won't be able to use any SIM from a different network. Contact your operator to make sure you get the phone unlocked before leaving.
In some countries, you have to provide proof that you are resident in that country in order to obtain a phone line, even a PAYG line. It isn't the case here in the UK, for example. You can just walk into a phone shop and walk out with an active PAYG SIM. In France, OTOH, you have to show proof of ID and a utility bill or rent receipt in your name in order to take out a line. Check if this is the case in Denmark before going.

  • Nokia 3600 slide --- how to manually change networ...

    I just purchased a Nokia 3600 slide and want to set the phone so I can manually select the network.  I have a SIM card through a company called eKit and while I am in France, I need to be able to manually select the network with the best coverage.  The phone automatically selects a network with little to no service in this area.  I used to own a razor and there was a function where you could set the network manually.  Can anyone help me locate this function on the Nokia?
    Thanks.

    try menu/settings/phone settings/then operator settings select manual rather than automatic.

  • Nokia 3600 slide has lost signal

    Hi
    My mobile (nokia 3600 slide) has lost signal, what is the solution ? please
    Moderator's note: The title changed as the post was moved from another thread.

    Have you tried using other operator's sim in the phone?
    have you tried using the same sim in other phone?
    If both answer is yes & your sim is working in another phone then you need to contact you nearest authorized Nokia Care Center.
    Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

  • Display on a 3600 Slide goes on and off without to...

    Having a 3600 slide about 7 months ago, I never had a problem with it.
    But lastly the phone has a strange behaviour.
    Normally, when open the slide, the display goes on, and after a delay it goes off again, that's normal.
    But actually my phone has its own life, because the display (and keybord lights also) is going on (and of after a while) without touching it.
    Sometimes this happens less then once in an hour, sometimes more then 15 times an hour, it seems random.
    The result is I have to charge the battery once a day.
    I tried to do a total factory reset of the phone, but the problem is still here.
    Has someone a clue about this issue .
    TIA !

    I don't know what exactly could be causing it in your case but I noticed my 5200 has been doing the same thing. Then I decided to pay attention and realised that if I lose network signal and it comes back the light goes on. That probably means if your gprs is always online a suspension will cause the light to come on. Check your phone to see if nothing changes when this happens as it could be legit and not really a problem before you go the whole backing up and updating software route

  • Nokia 3600 slide ringtones too quiet

    I had a Nokia 6100 until a week ago when I upgraded to 3600 slide (which is awsome, btw). However, ringtones and alerts on my new phone are irritably quiet. Consequently, I miss calls.
    I want the loud rintones from my old 6100 back. How can I get them on the 3600 slide?

    Hi,
    Please do these couple of steps - It might improve things slightly:
    Select Menu > Settings > Profiles > Personalise — to personalize the profile.
    or
    Select Menu > Settings > Tones > Ringing volume> then set it to the maximum value. Then just save it.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, it might the phone really behaves like that. Some Nokia phone really does have a quiet ringers - like the Nokia 5310 (No offense meant!)
    Hope this helps =)

  • Nokia 3600 Slide Playlists + Firmware Updates

    When I update my Nokia 3600 Slide with new firmware, my playlists no longer work, or show up in the media player. The gallery doesn't support viewing them. I don't want to have to rebuild my 70 song playlist again (I have over 500 songs on my phone). Is there a way to get the old playlist working?

    probably not, should have done a backup of the playlist to your computer, as firmware updates clear all data on the phone.

  • 3600 slide reboots when opening a file

    Dear all,

    when I open the file
    Gallery -> memory card -> cities -> voicefiles -> english -> english_fem... -> g5ann_001 (or any other files in here)
    it makes a reboot. If I move this file to my computer I can hear it, is a file used by the navigator (they say things like "turn on your right", "turn on your left", and so on).
    I asked Nokia support and they told me to reset factory defaults but it didn't solve the problem. I went to a Nokia support center but they confirmed me (I knew it because I had a look at the Nokia site) I already have the latest firmware version.
    What can I do?

  • Nokia 3600 slide does not sound when opened or clo...

    I have just brought a nokia 3600 slide .. I have selected the plum theme and selected the slide animation on ..but unfortuantely i do not get any slide sound .. i only get the animation when i open and close the phone ..do i have to use another theme .. can i use any sound for the opening and closing of the slide phone .. where do i get slide sounds from or animations .. plz help its driving me round the wall

    as pointed out there is some themes avalable that do give a tone but these are specially built themes a had one myself on the 5610/6500 slide i got them from zedge maybe your phone is not equipped for the theme in question
    the slide animation is just a picture that comes up when you open and close the slide
    look at the following
    Select Menu > Settings > Display and from the available options:● Wallpaper — to add a background image for the standby mode● Active standby — to activate, organise, and personalise the active standby mode● Standby font colour — to select the font colour for the standby mode● Navigation key icons — to display the icons of the scroll key shortcuts in thestandby mode when active standby is off● Notification details — to display details in missed call and message notifications● Transition effects — to activate a smoother and more organic navigationexperience● Slide animation — to display an animation and sound a tone when you open orclose the slide● Screen saver

    My OS is XP,Pro- Service Pack 1.
    I recently bought the 3600 slide and the recommended software as per the Nokia website is PC Suite Version 7.0. However PC Suite Version 7.0 is only compatible with Vista or XP- Service Pack 2. Whenever I try installing Version7.0 I get a fatal error during installation message.Consequently, I'm not able to view pics from my phone onto my comp.
    Any help on this front towards resolving this would be appreciated!

  • Overseas sim and unlocked iPhone 4s

    I have an unlocked iPhone 4s and i plan to go overseas i want to get a sim card over there but will i have to activate through iTunes like i did when i first got the phone? or is it just insert and use?
    thanks in advance

    TFA, sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm in a similar situation - my dad wants to buy an unlocked iPhone 4s which he will use primarily with a UK sim, however he's going to Thailand for 4 months over the winter and will want to put a Thai sim in for this period, and then when he gets back to England, put his UK sim back in.
    Did you find that the overseas sim worked straight away after plugging it in (or did you need to sync it), and was this the same when you put your home sim back in?
    I'd like to avoid a situation where he has to sync with itunes when he's away (or back home at the airport when he reintroduces his UK sim), as he's not that technically minded.
    Thank you.

    Uninstall Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Connectivity cable driver, PC Connectivity solution, Nokia flashing cable driver(if any on your PC), Run PC Suite cleaner. Install latest Nokia PC Suite from nokia.com/pcsuite, reboot your pc.  Once pc started, connect your phone with USB in different ports of your PC and check

  • 3600 Slide from Hong Kong - Maps not installed

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a 3600 Slide in Hong Kong and cannot find Maps installed on it. The Nokia Asia website says it should be installed, but the Nokia Hong Kong site seems to show that the phone doesn't come with Maps.  This is quite confusing and needless to say I am very disappointed that Maps is not installed on my phone, while it is available on the 3600 Slide in many other countries.  Am I missing something, or is it truly not available on the Hong Kong version for some reason?
    It's a long shot, but perhaps if others are unhappy with this and reply to this thread, Nokia will take notice and make Maps available for the 3600 Slide in Hong Kong.
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately there is no offical instructions we can supply to perform such a task, I can only suggest trying XDA forums for such information.
    I hope this helps. :smileywink:
