If your provider does it, then that'll work, though not many did.

You may need a firmware update to take modern SIM cards though.

Where does it say "'cannot be paired at this time'"? Phone or car? If you need Bluetooth enabled telephone unit I may have one

Could it be that the phone already has a phone paired to it and you can only pair one phone at a time?

You have the same phone as me, you cannot pair anything with it except the Bluetooth handset in the car.

Essentially the car is a telephone in its own right, and you cannot pair another telephone with it only dumb BT handsets.

After upgrading the MMI software, I put an O2 PAYG card in with some credit on. When I am in the car I redirect incoming calls to that number, and it obviously works fine for outgoing with credit on the PAYG sim. Before I upgraded the MMI, the sim card was rejected as invalid.
