I received my 09 SIM yesterday. I had ordered it from SIMphoneE.com because they could get it to me within 3 days and I'm leaving on a cruise this morning.

So far I'm pretty disappointed. While the SIM registers on both Cingular and T-Mobile,

1. I tried sending a SMS to the number using both T-Mobile & smsBug. Neither arrived.

2. I tried ringing the number using 4 different international carriers (including AT&T and MCI) all failed. The phone never rang.

3. I tried calling the 092 short code to get the balance. I got the ringback but only silence where the balance report should have been.

I contacted SIMphoneE about these issues but have not seen a response yet. I hope the problem is related to the fact that the SIM I received has a different phone number than what was stated on the invoice. Maybe this SIM has not been properly activated yet. I don't know. I sure hope it gets fixed quickly or I'll feel like a fool for paying $20 extra for 2nd day air shipment.

Suggestions?
