As you may have noted, at the beginning of this thread I basically called this poppycock, as I still do as I recently used it with a Voda SIM in the UK and Turkey with no problem (which was what the OP was on about) however I have come back to say that yes I did experience this problem in the US with T-Mobile.
I originated this thread several years ago. When I pass on warnings I always have to ask the question of how credible do I regard something I read on the net. My answer is that there has to be multiple sources, but I don't need to be 100% certain. I am not sure what the right balance is on these things.
