Can Nokia 1255 Work Without Sim ( Or Ruim )

[govindam 0]

Hello all,

I have a RIM prepaid connection ( LD2430). Its battery died. I am planning to buy Nokia 1255.

I urgently want to know if i can use 1255 without SIM card.

One vendor is saying that there is no need of SIM while another said that he will give SIM, and i need to change number to the new handset.

Please advice.

Thanks. I purchased one yesterday after much difficulty. Reliance sales guys are lying that 1255 does not work properly. This is because they have targets set to sell the new classic mobiles only!! I insisted that I need 1255 only even if it does not work. They tried to push me for classic. I activated it and is working fine.

I have been using nokia 1255 CDMA for past 2 months.I am very much disappointed with the phone.

Menu navigation is very slow.U will really get bugged up.

Phone reboots at times.

If the message memory is about to be full,

following problems are seen.

1) adding a contact fails (first time such an error was seen on a nokia phone)

2) if u get a missed call, phone will say "1 missed call". But name won't be there in missed calls list.

I was not able to find out why this was happening.Later only found out this was because of message memory being full.

Only advantage I feel is RANGE.I am having very weak signal in my house.Earlier wih LG 2130 I was not able to talk.

But now I can talk freely within house.

So think twice before buying this phone.
