I want to buy a new sim card to replace my old one. I wonder whether Speakout has any 3G sim I can buy.

Speakout sells SIM cards that, when paired with certain phones, can use Rogers' 3G network. What do you have for a phone, and who is your old cellular carrier?

I have been using Speakout for severals years. Recently I upgraded to an Android phone (iocean x7) purchased online. But I am having troubles connected to the network most of the time. It seems that my phone is not able to connect to the 850 band. I suspect that my 2G sim card from Speakout is not compatible to the new phone. That's why I want to get a new 3G sim card to try it.

The sim card Speakout currently use are 3G compatible. When cut down in size to put in an Iphone or use in an android smart phone, they will provides 3G connection whenever applicable. You do get 3G speed in specific location.

If connection problem occurs, it is usually the band. However, iocean x7 usually used the foolowing network Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz & WCDMA 850/2100MHz Which, only the GSM are used, and this look fine. So I'm not sure why it is having problem. Therefore I would say changing a sim card can potentially fix that issue.

I would first try the Speakout SIM card on a phone that is not as weird. Your iOCEAN X7 does not support the 1900 mhz band in 3G, and a lot of Rogers 3G towers are 1900 mhz only

My existing sim card is working on my Speakout phone, but not the iocean x7. I will try another sim card. If it is still not working, i will just sell the phone and buy a samsung s3.

Thanks for the help.
