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

Germany

  • 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 acceppted 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. blau.de has relatively cheap phone and data.

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). See bug #666 for details.
  • Wind works and currently has a flatter GPRS rate.
  • TIM new SIM-plus card works and the carrier offers a GPRS flat rate

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)
