And you should NEVER buy something this expensive based on the sellers description. They want you to buy it, s obviously they wont name the negative points. Thats why we have reviewers. If people had read the reviews theyre expectations wouldnt have been off by so much.

GSM covers the communication standard with the network. SIM menu access is nothing to do with GSM it is an extension to the SIM and is supported by some, but not all, operating standards. There is an issue withe USSD codes for GSM at present but that is another issue.

Thanks for your attention. I am as much sorry for the aggressiveness of this post as I am for every poor soul who can't access credits, services and other operator related functions that are buried in the SIM card.
Maybe its more for people that use "pay as you go" type service? 4+ years with a 3G phone and I've never had a need to access my SIM card, save for contacts, but I exported them into *.csv or *.vcf format a while ago. I guess there are people that need to get in there more often.

not to get off topic but how is technology far more ahead to use SIM cards to store contacts? Easily switch phones without having to re-enter contacts, what other technology do we have that does that? Saving it to the memory card does not always work because not all phone use the same format of contacts or even the memory card. Sending contacts over Bluetooth would take forever. SIM contacts on a phone is something that is universally available and I dont think there is any technology that came do the same.
So if you go from Android, to the N900, for example (which is what i hope to be doing).. you're contacts are all stored in google, not your SIM.. much less likely to be broken or lost there too.. (standard privacy concerns input here)..
Now.. if you go from an android phone back to a 90's flip phone.. then yeah - no more contacts.

Telecom services management; managing credits for voice, data plans SMS; banking (a lot of banks require you to access from the SIM card menu); purchasing or changing plans; filing support and services request; purchasing additional connectivity options; changing network configurations; consulting network options and other stuff like that.

I hear your argument, but am betting on something based on my question. Thanks in advance.

They dont say the music player is not good, they say the music player is not AS good as the iphone.

As for the banks, go figure. I think that is because they already have some kind of technology that has been tested and works with all phones (those that have SIM menus and wap access, that is) and they don't want to change. The other option would be to access from the web browser with java, if it was available.
