Was going to say that if your existing one was contract, upgrade may have been cheaper.
They should just sort the sim out for you, as there is no contract involved, should be a piece of cake.

Be warned though, when you tell them that you have a problem with your MOBELE, they won't have a clue what you are talking about!:rofl:

Slow and expensive! If you are in an area covered by 3G, it can be ok, but coverage can be dire.
Also very expensive on Pay as you go, I did €90 in 3 days last year, checking some stuff on the net and sorting Emails!
Contract is obviously cheaper, but most providers want a deposit upfront for data access, depending on how long you have been with them.
