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.

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
Guys im Uk resident with a HD locked to Orange, if im going abroad to Europe and i want to put a european simcard from another network in my phone do i need it to be sim unlocked or is this just for other uk networks??
you would need the phone to be unlocked if you want to use any sim card that doesn't belong to orange.
ok thanks...........
Hi,
I've bought a HTC Magic from Rogers. From the internet, it seems that some ppl were saying Rogers did not lock any smartphone, but most said it does.
I've tested with my wife's Fido Pay-As-You-Go SIM card, it seems to work. So either my phone is unlocked or Rogers and that Fido prepaid card are sharing the same lock-code.
Anyhow, without any other tools, how can I tell/test if my phone is simlocked or not?
Thanks,
Gary
The Rogers phones are locked. Fido, PetroCan Mobility and Speak Out are all virtual network operators that run on the Rogers network so their SIM's will work in a locked Rogers phone.
You need a non-Rogers SIM (like from a new Bell or Telus phone) or a US or European SIM. As soon as you pop it in it will tell you your locked and will ask you for the unlock code.
Phone won't run home screen but instead will ask for "unlock code".
And unless you give it you can't use the phone for anything (you can't even check any menu, settings or anything).
Hi - I bought a G900F off ebay which is apparently sim locked to the EE network. My sim card is Tesco Mobile (great deal).
From what I have read, rooting/flashing custom Rom will not unlock the network sim lock.
Is my only option to have EE unlock the phone? Any recomendations for websites which are trustworthy and include the EE network?
Does it matter if the person I bought the phone off did not use the phone before? Would this mean it has a region lock?
This is all very boring, my GS3 was so easy to get working.
Thanks,
RG
It doesn't matter what the status of your phone is or what network it is servicing. You will just need to input the unlock code numbers on the keypad. You have to pay a fee of course.
