			Very impressed with the F3, but it's GSM functions are stripped down IMHO. Tried used it with a UM+ (Jersey Telecom number) SIM card and callback didn't operate on any of the UK networks. Inbound calling was okay on Orange, Vodafone and O2, but I think the SIM had problems registering on T-Mobile for some reason. Probably best to avoid using this cheapie phone with UM+ Steve PO Box 1014, Sheffield S10 5YG, UK Home mobie: Telefonica O2 Other UK mobiles: 3, Vodafone, Virgin Foreign SIMs: Toggle (multi); Germany (Fonic); Poland (Orange PL); Skype: stevewgold  |

	 So, I guess the issue was that just PRESSING the green go button, doesn't actuate the dial.  One has to HOLD it for a second, and THEN it will actually dial.  Call back working fine now in France.
