Do u have to use a special sim card in the ccrt700 or is it sim card straight from my phone
-
It needs to be a full (credit card) sized card. I used a new card from O2 and threw the sim part out, slip ofe tape on the back and clip my normal sim into the hole :P
You managed to get a CCRT700 then?
-
No you cant i dont think, they are a different frequency range, someone will confirm later. I just cant remeber which one it is, plus I think you are limted on providers as well.
:y

Correct, O2 or Vodafone only 900 and 1800 IIRC

to clarify, ccrt700 is 900Mhz only, which limits you to o2 & voda (but voda are on the shitlist now, as I'm sick of their BS).
-
Might I add that Tesco, Fresh, and Lebara will NOT work, even though they roam on 1800mhz via the O2 network.
AND the 3G cards give issues with the CCRT700 too, causing "freeze"
Sorry to hyjack the thread, used to fit car kits for a living......

Yes I did thanks got one from lincs Robert it's finished of the inside of the car a treat bloody marvelous this site

Certainly, Tesco works on 900Mhz (via O2), thus should work in ccrt700
-
Had this on my alfa, would only work with vodaphone.
-
I'm with o2 and rang them today for code and explained that it goes in a ccrt700 but didn't say I needed a credit card size sim where can I get 1

All SIMs are provided as CC size - for most phones you push the small bit out.

I fitted cd and radio and picked me missus up and nearly blew her eardrums out lol

What what do they know about Vx head units? Just ask for a SIM, it will come fully size, just don't push it out.
-

If you did not replace the Bose speakers and wiring, it will blow the headunit, not kidding, literally blow ;)
Replacement headunit will be 4 Ohm, Bose is 2Ohm

SORRY....should have said it roams on O2 on 900 mhz, but disagree with TB about Tesco mobile, gives probs on CCRT700 because it only ROAMS on O2, but day to day runs via another network, so when not roaming, CCRT700 "drops out" and therefore will not work on the other network, causing problems.
-
Just get a o2 card then push out the sim card put tape on back and stick ur sim on it then or do u think o2 would supply another sim to match me phone

Tesco SIM only uses O2 network in UK.
-
Ordinary non 3G payg 02 sim card will be fine, don't push it out of its credit card, and bobs your uncle..........mine runs on vodafone payg, but your choice!!

Sorry you got that one wrong way around Tesco only works on 900 Mhz, taken from Ofcoms report:
Customers who value good quality, basic services may have to migrate to one of the
1800MHz operators. Tesco Mobile, with its joint venture with O2, may have difficulty in
remaining a viable force in the UK market as the services its customers currently enjoy can
only be received on competitors’ networks.
-
I'm on pay monthly so do u rekon o2 would duplcate a sim so I don't have to change me number then
-

Not 2 sims with same number.
-
can't be duplicated, get a PAYG sim and forward calls from your contract phone....

Tunnie, I think Tesco works on whatever O2 use - 900GSM, 1800GSM and UTMS type services.
Tesco Mobile is a JV between Tesco and O2

This would also save taking it out me iPhone

Thought as part of the deal, Tesco got stuffed with 900 range, as to limit their competitiveness to O2

Get a bluetooth kit, much easier.
With the crApple gayPhone, be careful which bluetooth kit you get

Oh, and 900Mhz is a better frequency than 1800Mhz ;) ;)
Mind you, I'd settle for Vodafone to get any bloody frequency up here, useless tinkers.
-
Ok il get normal pay as u go and forward me calls then cheers :D :y
-
Confused now.........it states "service can only be recieved on COMPETITORS networks".....does that mean its on 02 or not, as my information (from Parrot uk) says Tesco only ROAMS on 02, but runs on an agreement with ORANGE/VIRGIN networks, that CCRT700 will not take.
Don't want to be argumentative, but would like to clarify this once and for all, as other kit I install (autodiallers via cellular network) use the voda/02 nets, but tesco have the extra value top-up feature and would be cheaper!!
-
As mentioned Tesco is in agreement with o2, its a deal with them, has nothing to do with Orange.
Virgin is an MVNO of T-Mobile, and has absolutely nothing to do with Orange, o2 or Tesco! ;)
-
Mmm. thought parrot may have got it a bit wrong, will ring their install dept in the morning, they must have got their info from somewhere reliable to publish it in a "techtalk" will be surprised if they are right, cos it doesnt quite make sense, does it?

Tesco runs on top of O2. Tesco Mobile is a JV between Tesco Ltd and O2, so would only ever use O2 ;)

UPDATE.....
Spoke to Parrot today, who confirmed "ah....we don't always get it dead right....sorry."
SO WHY PUBLISH IT IN A TECHTALK THEN??
All the engineers (like me) will take it as gospel. DOH!!
-
Vodafone do a dual sim on contract only (or use to), a second transparent number that sits on and shares your main account.
Down side is the outgoing numbers are different and both sims no longer support GPRS or 3g, not a problem for the Head Unit, could be for the one in your pocket though.
-
I've got a couple of new O2 PAYG sims here, still sealed if you want one?
-
Na ur alrite ta found a sealed pay as u go on o2 I'll give it a go cheers anyway :) :y

Sorry to ressurect this long dead thread - but tried a Tesco PAYG SIM and got now joy from the CRT700 fitted in the CDX saloon.
Does the O2 sim have a different physical position within the large credit card for the SIM to the Tesco one, or are they all the same?
-
Industry standard, they are all in the same place :y
-
No all SIM's are industry standard, they used to be all credit card size, now they are just the chip. When you get new ones they are still in credit card size, they can just be popped out.
Apple of course doing things their own way with 'Micro SIM' in iPhone4, its basically same SIM but with the extra plastic around edge trimmed off, so it really is just now the chip!

You have it in the right way round? ::) It's not hard to put it in the wrong way round. ;) ;) (apparently ::))
