freerunner unable to work with 3G SIMCards?

[Kevin Zuber]

So, what should I do now? Change my provider? Buy a prepaid sim card?...
Really, that can't be a solution.

BTW.: I tested a sim card from a friend and it worked. It was an 9 YEAR old
simcard (G2)! 
His provider is vodafone, but the sim card is so old, that there is an "D2
Mannesmann" logo on it (an provider, that doesn't exist anymore). 

But no o2 card seems to work (in the meantime, I have test a 3rd o2 card in
my phone from another person, all three are g3).
