Getting Started
Requirements
You’ll need one of our SIM cards, or a SIM card from a previous event that you’ve registered with us (more about this). Pop the size SIM you need out of the adapter, and insert it into your phone as you would normally. You might need to set your phone’s “preferred network type” to 2G.
Our network operates in the DCS-1800 frequency band (equivalent to LTE band 3). Most GSM phones for use in Europe should support this band, but check your phone’s specifications if you’re unsure.
First Steps
- Register an number in the Electromagnetic Phonebook, setting the type of service to GSM
- Insert SIM card into phone
- Dial 900, then enter your chosen number, and the activation code listed in the phonebook
- Enjoy!
Disclaimer
This network is an experiment! We can’t commit to providing a reliable service, though we’ll do our very best. Coverage might be limited in places, too.
Once connected
