Everything went prefectly, took about five minute, card was active and on the network in five minutes.

I am currently in the USA so not using this card, but the FUNNY thing is that here in CA, it is on the VoiceStream network. Voicestream hasn't been around for about oh, five + years? This was the original GSM network in NA, mostly in the West, and was purchased by T-mobile, has to be more than seven years ago. I know the network may be some of the same, but I haven't seen a phone SEE the t-mobile network as VOICESTREAM in five+ years!!

I LIKE the fact that the 089 call is now an SMS which gives balance AND expiry information, not that EXPIRY is any problem anymore, no?

I'm not a techie but I think it has something to do with the phone and whether it's firmware has been upgraded recently...all sorts of weird things happen depending on the phone's firmware rather than the sim card...for example when I'm in the UK with a virgin mobile card on some phone models it comes up at TMobile not Virgin....try the sim card in a different phone and it might well say TMobile. (At least it didn't come up as Omnipoint).....
