Hi.My brother recenlty bought an unlocked t-mobile branded "magician".He put his o2 uk simcard in and can't get the gprs settings.I have a jam myself and so went onto club imate and downloaded the operator settings for o2 uk and installed them onto his device.Problem is they don't seem to work.Is there something were missing here?Something extra that needs doing with it orginally being t-mobile?please someone help!
kind regards
The only thing I can suggest is that he check his SIM card is enabled for GPRS.
Hi Everyone,
Can someone help me get GPRS on my phone, ive tried everything. Im with Orange and they have activated GPRS on my sim card.
Thanks
Craig
do a search in this forum for "Orange AND grps"
look at all the results you get
and use the settings for your country and such
My M5000 has been unlocked by the code which orange provided.
it doesn't accept O2 sim cards. it shows 'no service'.(I have tried two o2 sim cards, same problem).
However, I tried vodafone, orange and 3 sim cards. all are working perfectly on it.
Why is only o2 not?
why???????????????
any ideas?
Thank you very much.
hm crazy idea: There is no O2 net reachable. thats the only reason i could think of.
Re: M5000 unlocked, but doesn't accept o2 sim, why??????????
Do those O2 sims work in other devices, apart from the exec and the original phone they were in?
Just a though..... type of SIM perhaps?
AFAIK O2 only permit access to their 3G network with a USIM.
Voda permit any SIM to access their 3G network
3 only have USIMs
So maybe it's a GSM O2 SIM in a phone that's looking for a 3G signal?
Try the following:
Phone -> Settings -> Band -> Select your network type = Auto (or GSM if Auto does not work). Also ensure that GSM Band is set to EGSM+DCS1800
Cheers, Mark.
the sim cards I used are all working on normal phone.
and I have tried changing setting. it doesn't help anything.
I really don't know why.
So the O2 SIMs don't work even if you have Network Type set to GSM?
Cheers, Mark

Doubt it. IMEI's have to be specifically, individually blocked, they can't block a range of numbers and all use the same database in Dublin, so blocked by one = blocked by all UK providors.

M5000 Unlocked
Hi,
I got my M5000 unlocked from Orange for the O2 Sim (PAYG) and it worked fine. It's not 3G just normal GPRS connection.
What does it say when you reset the device? I'm running a ghost dual simcard with Orange/O2 and sim switcher software. The software recognises Orange but says "Invalid Sim" for O2, but it still works.
Get back onto Orange, you did pay them £20 for a service :?

I have tried even hard reset, it still didn't accept o2 card.
Do you mean it must run o2 with sim switcher software?
Where can I get such software?
Cheers

Bumping it just under 12 hours later is rude IMO. Don't.

I didn't find or I didn't understand how to make this :?
M5000 Unlock
Hi all,
Sorry for the delay, been off line a couple of days.
First of all marquis the phone should work on all networks without the sim changing software, the software just saves you from reseting the phone everytime you need to change networks. I got the software from www.wivit.com and it's called "Sim Status Switcher" works great.
One thing I remember from orange saying when I got my phone unlocked was that you had to insert the other network sim and only had one chance at entering the code.
Lonlyboy2003, the number for Orange UK customer services is 00447802092150, I don't know if they'll be able to help as you need to be a registed customer and have a contract with them, but it's worth a go!
trmkwm, you need to phone Orange and for £20 GBP they will send you an unlock code for your phone.
Hope that helps
Yohanson

I take it you are in the UK?. Have the network set to automatic, it will then find all service providers you have a sim for, and try my cab below it works for me and others.
Cheers pal, ill have a go and see what happens.
still not working, it just says No Service with my o2 sim, which works in my HP HW6500 Pda.
Just to follow up, i rung orange and they said the phone is blacklisted.
Im probably gonna be in trouble here, i bought it from ebay :/

Whoops!!!!
I purchased a 2nd hand o2 xda exec on ebay, and put my old o2 SIM in it but it constantly says searching. At first I thought this may be because the SIM was an old 2G not 3G sim, so I purchased an o2 3G PAYGO sim and tried again.
CE 1.30.107, Extended 1.30.162, Radio 1.0.9
Still no luck....
I've tried Buzz's Unlocking utility just in case it was locked to a different network, but this being an o2 device I would expect it to be locked to o2 if anything. The unlock utility said it succeeded in unlocking. But still no service.
After a while I get a box appearing with:
Select a network:
O2-UK
@ VF-UK
@ Orange
@ 23420
T-Mobile UK
I've even seen a 'G' icon & and while at work a 'U' icon, so I would guess the radio does work.
I've even checked out the imei to make sure it wasn't blocked on the network (lost/stolen).
I'm a little stuck now what to do, other to use it as a PDA without phone functionality. I might see if i can borrow a Vodafone or Orange SIM to try out.
Anyone seen anything similar, or have any ideas?
Vodafone works
I just tried a vodafone SIM, it worked fine.
I'm having the same problem with an old O2 genie sim it cant find the network any ideas as to why?
If you have seen a G and a U symbol then it HAS actually registered on the network, else you'd have seen an X there. so that rules it out as an IMEI lock out.
Ok as a long shot upgrade your radio to 1.15 and give that a whirl.
