Europe

Note: All European mobile service provider will work with the Neo due to EU-regulations. In order not to confuse anyone only list non-working European service providers or service provider that offer interesting data-plans or similar.

Austria

Belgium

  • Proximus works perfect, including PIN authentication, reading stored messages and contacts etc.

Denmark

  • CBB works. FreeRunner indicates correctly that it logs on to the sonofon network.
  • TDC works. A SIM card from 2007 of the type 64K43 wasn't working, but a new one ordered august 2008 of type 64K23 worked fine. The new card was sent free of charge.

France

  • Orange Ok for "Mobicarte" and also one old card
  • SFR does not work with six months old (January 2008) 3G SIM card (not accepted by FR : Error 13 or 10) - OK with a newer one.

More info (both SFR and Orange) Here

Germany

  • Congstar A Brand new Sim Card (Sept 08) and an old one (May 07) are compatible to the Moko.
  • Tchibo offers free Tchibo to Tchibo calling if you buy their prepaid SIM card till 9th of August.
  • Older e-plus SIM cards may not work (not accepted by Neo1973, CME Error 13). Not working for me is a can one year old 3G (work in a UMTS phone with UMTS data and video) SIM card, 64K, 3V, #513, H244, 27-657-33xxxx-9 UJ. After requesting a new SIM card from e-plus via Hotline (free change), this now works.
  • blau.de SIM cards work with the Neo1973/FreeRunner. blau.de has relatively cheap phone and data.
  • simyo.de SIM cards work with the Neo1973/FreeRunner. simyo.de has relatively cheap phone and data.
  • o2 Two (older) UMTS/GSM (combi) SIM cards didn't work in GTA02V5, after exchanging mine, it works (they don't exchange for GSM only cards anymore). For me (and a few more) it did NOT work. See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeRunner_unable_to_work_with_3G_SIM_cards

Greece

  • Wind (old card from TIM 32K) works

Italy

  • Vodafone SIM cards do not work (3 out of 3 gave +CME Error 10 or hang for AT+CFUN=1 and +CME Error 13 for AT+CIMI). (Confirmed, I couldn'e even unlock the PIN) See bug #666 for details.--Sixbladeknife 15:12, 11 October 2008 (UTC) 128K sim cards (8€ for substitution) work perfectly, 64K ones don't (mechanical reasons as stated at HW issues)
  • Wind works and currently has a flatter GPRS rate.
  • TIM I can report a success with a new 3g sim card (as of 24/7/2008) and a failure with a 6-months old one.

Norway

  • Teletopia (note: local provider only for the city Oslo) used to provide free WAP and GPRS data. Their mobile division is now handled by CombiTel, and it seems that they continue this service (Norwegian language). Warning: I'm still trying to get hold of a prepaid card, so this information is not confirmed yet. Tingo 15:06, 15 August 2007 (CEST). Teletopia prepaid cads are stll available, I just got one from a local dealer. Tingo 11:33, 17 August 2007 (CEST)

Spain

Switzerland

  • Sunrise New SIM card works fine (2008-07-30). A three years old card didn't work (cme errors 3 and 15). Entry added because Switzerland is not in the EU, so EU regulations probably don't apply.
