Formerly there have been some problems with certain SIM cards. ([http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/666 track ticket]) These issues were fixed with the new GSM firmware. If your FreeRunner has some problems with certain SIM-cards see [[GSM/Flashing]] in order to update the firmware.
 
+
'''So far there were no credible reports of any issues left with any sim cards after upgrading GSM firmware. So, basically, if it works with any old GSM phone, it will work with GTA01 and GTA02 too after firmware upgrade.'''

== User Provided tested SIM pictures ==

+
[[Image:ATT_3G_71234D_SIM.JPG|left|thumb|200px|AT&T 3G 71234 D]]
+
 
+
Base on community post:
+
 
+
The 71324 is the SKU for the AT&T latest UICC.
+
The 2022 is the Vendor and Version number.
+
 
+
Some cards the vendor numbers are
+
  2 - G&D
+
  3 - Gemalto
+
  4 - Oberthur
+
 
+
Usually user will get CME ERROR 13 (sim failure), rather than CME ERROR 10 (sim not inserted) when 3G SIM not working.
+
 
+
CME ERROR: 32 is Network not allowed, emergency calls only, might because the card not activated.
+
 
+
== The Error ==

== Working and not working AT&T card ==
+
 
+
* Some AT&T cards have same vendor/ID number, but different contacts (Josh posted at 2008/8/24), following image shows that card that working (right) and not working (left) one.
+
 
+
[[Image:ATT_simcards_small.jpg]]
+
 
+
 
+
Also, AT&T's new SIM card (left) will work with the Freerunner. It has been tested on om2008. On right is the same non-working SIM as the one shown in the above picture.
+
 
+
[[Image:Sim_cards_new.jpg]]
+
 
+
 
+
== Working and not working CBB card ==
+
 
+
Only difference on these cards seems to be the printing. One works, two doesn't. All 3 cards wirks fine in my HP Voice Messenger, running Windows Mobile.
