Hi I have a i-mate pda2k evdo, it doesn't seem to have a sim slot at the back, because the carrier has built it in, how do I reset this? or get rid of the sim information, so I can put in my own at choice?

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.
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.
There is big problem with my XDA Exec, when I dial a tel No. it is Dailling and the Call end. The 3G sim card is work well on another mibile, and another GSM sim card is work well on the Exec, but the O2 3G sim card can not work on my Exec, could anyone give me some advice on in, thanks.
If you have a Data only plan then you may not be able to make calls. I think you need to ask O2 to activate voice calls. I have the same problem, but I only use my Exec for web & email as I don't trust it to operate as a phone!

But the problem is that the 3G sim card can be uesd on another mobile for any voice call.
I will try to ring o2 for some solution.
I have ring O2, but they can do nothing and will change another sim card for me.
The 3G sim card can be used on my Moto V3, dial and receive
The normal GSM sim card can be used on Exec, dial and receive
But the 3G sim card can not be used on the Exec, can not dial can not receive, anyone can help me with that.
Thanks in advance
mobile, which tariff/plan do you have? If you have a Data plan and you can use your 3G SIM in another 3G phone (I don't have an unlocked one that I can use) then I may have a faulty SIM as well
jah
My tariff is 200 cross network, everything is ok for last noght.
I have change the sim card with mu V3, now all working. maybe it is the problem with the 3G option
the problem was solved.
I change the network to GSM, then everything is fine. It that means there is some proble with o2 3G netword?? :?:
I am considering swopping my UK T-Mobile SIM for O2.
I have SIM unlocked my MDA Compact, but is there any issues with using an O2 SIM in a T-Mobile ROM Compact? For example GPRS settings, voicemail numbers etc, can these be changed in settings?
Thanks,
Mike.
this is no problem, I do it regularly, depending on wether i get t-mobile signal or not. As long as you have the settings in there for O2 you should be fine.
Voicemail number should be automatically taken from the sim, I've never had to program that in at all! If you need the settings, the're bound to be here somewhere.
If not, try http://www.modaco.com/Smartphone_Settings_Repository-f138.html for the settings.
Or god forbid *shudder* call o2!!
Cheers
Someone help please. I got a UK Jasjar from a friend, tried to use Singapore (both M1 & Starhub) prepaid sim, though both registered a signal on the phone, I can't call out or call in on both Simcard; but it worked well with Postpaid Sim Card from both telco.
Is the locked from using pre-paid sim? how could it overcome this?
I suppose you have a problem with your radio. Try updating a newer radio rom (i.e. 1.09).
