We would not let that SIM be reactivated

Thanks so much John, really useful informmation about the date. I was unsure if it was late 1994 or early 1995 ***thanks***

So what your saying it is possible to re-activate, but network security or something like that makes Vodafone uneasy about activating ?

We would need to pull data for that SIM from the data warehouse as it's so old and from Bell South days

Then another manual process so the SIM can be activated in the CRM system

It's more complex than it sounds

These are fairly common on eBay UK and eBay Germany - just don't expect to get much change from ~ NZ$500 for one as they truely are collectors items these days.

Are they really common, ore just out of stock?
Ebay dont offer a single 3300 and that's worldwide ! ! !
There are not a lot of thouse phones.
The 3200 you cann get, but they are without SMS.
Check the trueth my friend.
