I have an unlocked XDA working with an Orange SIM, I have been given an O2 SIM by my company and want to use it with my XDA, but when I put the O2 SIM in my XDA it will not receive any signal. I tried a T-Mobile SIM and this seems to work ok, but the O2 SIM will not connect to the network. Is this to do with the fact that I have unlocked the XDA?
When I unlocked the XDA I ude the XDAunlock utility and do not have a copy of the lock code. Does any body have ant ideas please?

Are You sure, that the O2 Sim is working? Have you tried it in an other phone?
How old is this SIMcard? I know that there were som eproblems with a view SIMcards.
It's no problem of the unlocking.

Both T-Mobile and Orange in the UK use the 1800 band, the O2 sim uses the 900 band, I would be interested to know if a Vodafone sim will work, can you get hold of one and try it?
My guess is if you have brought the phone 2nd hand it is barred on O2, due to the fact that cross network barring did not start till about the middle of last year if the phone was reported lost/stolen etc etc before then it will still work on the other networks, also make sure you have the setting so it can pick up signal on the 900mhz (O2 Vodafone) or it will never work.
:? Hi, Cruisin thru,lonegunman and lumpistefan
Thanks for your replys, the O2 SIM has been tried in an XDAII and works ok. The phone is not lost or stolen I have bought from the guy with the XDAII and I was with him when he bought the XDA I.
As far as I know the GSM is set to 900/1800 (its a model 10A), does it need to be set to just 900 for it to work with O2?
The SIM card is approx 1 year old and works ok in an XDA II.
Unfortunately I do not know anybody with a Vodaphone SIM.
I will try changing the band to 900 and see if this works, I assume this is done via the bootloader method (holding power button while pressing reset).
Many thanks , any other ideas would be appreciated.

Have a seach round on here I think you will find that it is a sim card fault and you need a new one.
Just thought i'd put my Orange SIM into my JJ and it works fine, no questions asked, even tho i got it on a Vodafone contract, so no locks whatsoever on a imate JJ.

I do not believe vodafone are anywhere near packaging a Universal with vodafone software. I asked the question a few weeks ago and they had no knowledge of this device.
The jasjar is distributed by i-mate as an unlocked device that can work on any network, hence mobile resellers can sell it with a voda contract.
Of course whatever sim u use, u will need to set-up GPRS for that network to access the internet.

The JasJar is always sim free...
I think that the JasJar is always sim free no matter what network you may have bought it on.
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.

Hi all i am having problems with a HSDPA setup. what i am trying to acheive is to use my diamond just for MSN and internet browsing I have done this before with a three hsdpa sim card from a 3 usb modem and my TYTN II. As the phone picked up the settings and did everything for me and worked without errors. when i inserted the o2 simcard into the diamond (which i have got out of a payg huwaei e160 modem) it picked up some automatic settings for o2 but every time i try to connect it comes up with a connection error. the sim card works perfect in the modem but not in the phone. Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
