Dear Omar,
I have been reading your iPad-experience in your Omarkassim-page with great interest.
Especially your converting of SIM-card into a "micro-type" of SIM for the iPad was very interesting.
Following your example, I have done the same with DU : Their sales representative told me that it wouldn't be NO problem to insert the adjusted SIM this way and to benefit from the (prepaid) DU- data exchange service..!!
Now, everything Ok so far : But I don't get GSM-contact..! Do you have an idea, WHY...????
Should the iPad be UNLOCKED (since it has been imported from the States with an AT&T SIM Card in it..??) : I have got the device from a local Emirate friend as a gift, but I am "STUCK" with it now.
Due to my work, I have to travel a lot, next week to Belgium, Germany, the States, Saudi Arabia, Norway, etc... and would like to have the device "open" so that I could use it for my E.Mail correspondence during my trips..!!
Could you help me out please..??
I would be very thankful if you could do so!!
Kind regards,
Johan
PS. : in the internet are UNLOCK-programs availbale (at $ 10,00 something) : Is it OK to try this out..??
Hi Johan,
Thank you for your comment as well as your email.
When you cut up your sim card you need to make sure that the electrical contacts stay intact and that you only trim away the plastic.
Assuming that your sim card is working, check with du as to whether they have activated your data package.
Lastly, if you haven't already, you will probably need to enter a value for the APN under Settings > Cellular Data. Unfortunately since I am not a du user, I am not sure what the value is, but I am sure that if you send a tweet to @dutweets they should be able to help you out.
Feel free to contact me again if you're still having problems.
Thank you Omar : I appreciate very much your help. Will try it out today + confirm with DU.
Kind regards, Johan
