Hello,
Can anyone confirm if T-Mobile in UK are idsabling wifi on teh newly launched MDA Vario II?
I am also interested in unlocking the device. Again, anyone have experience of this and if so, what software or which supplier?
Thanks
Richardracer
mu mda vario II works fine with wifi. also you can unlock the phone but not for free at the moment. you have to use imi-check for that.
What makes you think it is disabled?
My MDA2 bought 3 weeks ago is fine with wifi..
Works at home using (g) and also managed to connect using a free connection at Waterloo the otherday (Window poped up while I was surfing using HSDPA..) so thought I would give it a go. worked fine.
My MDA Vario II works fine on wifi and I have also unlocked it too so I could use my Vodafone sim in it (had to pay £20 though as needed to use my Voda sim straight away and couldn't wait until somebody worked out how to unlock it for free)
Thanks
Thanks to all who replied, I will be placing my order today.

Hello,
i've a xda and use it with my d2 vodafone card, and everything works with it allright.
I want to buy me an xda II, do anyone knows wether it works too with an d2 vodafone card? Or is there something like a simlock, can I use internet with gprs an the all stuff people with O2-Germany can use?
I'm happy for all answers that can help me.
hi,
my t-mobile mda-II works without any problems with the d2-vodafone card. You can use every kind of connection you want. No SimLock on my device!
But you can´t use gprs with a callya card you need a real card.

thanks
hi alex,
thanks for your answer.
I think xda II and MDA II are the same in everything. So I think I can buy me an Xda II without any fear.
I'm soooooooooooooooooooooo excited.........
Bye...
Connecter, I would be wary about buying the xda2 if you need to use it on another service providers network, it seems people are having an awful job getting them unlocked by O2, now I dont know what kind of Vodafone sim you have but it certainly isnt O2 so make sure before you hand over the loot.
now i'm confused
Sooooo,
now i'm confused.
Is there anyone who can tell me if the xda II works with my german provider "D2 Vodafone"?
I wanna have a xda II, but I also want to use my "D2" provider, and I want use all features of the xda II.
Can someone help me???
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi
I do have the same issue with SIM lock or not, I want to use it on a swiss network.
I just wrote to the support of O2 Germany (where I got mine from), they replied that XDA2 does not have a SIM lock.
So I should be possible to use it on any network.
Why you don´t buying the mda-II Device? I can garantie that it works!

MDAII works fine
Hello,
i bought a T-Mobile MDA II. There is no simlock on my device. Web-Browsing with GPRS ist easy to set up. The only problem i have is to set it up to send and receive MMs-Messages. But i'm still working on it.
Regards
Markus

Don't be. O2 in the UK sells the XDA II with a SIM lock, while O2 Germany sells the German version of the XDA II without a SIM lock (or so I've heard).
The MDA II also has no SIM lock, and at least in Germany is considerably cheaper than the XDA II. I got mine brand new from eBay for 560 Euro without contract.
You can easily flash the O2 firmware to an MDA II (for example, if you want the homezone indicator).

an unlocked xda2/mda2/qtek2020
should work with just about any gsm provider there is
like an unlocked nokia telephone does
Does MDA II have english OS or German?

Thanks a million, T-Mobile unlocked and working perfectly in HK now. My last phone was the T-mobile MDA unlocked using the all-in-one sim unlocker and it's been working fine.
Q1. Can I upgrade my MDA to mobile 5 and how?
Q2. T-Mobile interface sucks, how do I put an imate k-jam interface to my vario?
Q3. Has anyone tried the above or in similar situation?
Q4. Other than the wifi, the vario is so slow, if I can upgrade my MDA to mobile 5 and still unlock, I might send it back to T-mobile.
Every kind of help is much appreciated.
I've searched this can can't find anything...I was wondering if i could use the Exec on my cingular plan without having to change anything. I'd like to be able to use my existing SIM card with it. Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can , but you need had unlock O2 Exec , I used Cingular in my Exec work fine.
I got the same problem with you, I cant get it work with Cingular service and I cant get any solutions from searching net. I have tried to talk with them, go to their stores and do whatever I can. The result still the same, it really make me headache....I have already paid for 2 months fee in "NO SERVICE" condition and they cannot do anything!
O2 XDA Exec issue with cingular ....
O2 XDA Execs come unlocked from O2. When i received mine when it came first out in early october 2005, i just plugged in my Cingular SIM and there wasn't any problems. Though note that the SIM location is a little iffy at times, you shouldn't have a lot of problems.
You would also need to configure the GPRS settings on the Exec.
BTW, noticing you're from MO, which phone were you using prior to the Exec? it might give me more of an idea of your situation ...I've been using GSM phone for a while and i know that Cingular didn't have a full GSM network until a couple of months ago ... and if you came from AT&T then that's another ballgame as well ... AT&T used a mix of different standards as well ...

I was using MDA II before EXEC. Start from May, I can't get the signal anymore, at first I thought it was my MDA problem, so I changed it to EXEC. But, who knows? The same problem still there. Cingular just blame O2 that the EXEC has problem, and they do nothing.
Are you using EXEC now? How to change the GPRS setting?
In addition, I was Cingular customer about 1.5 year already. This problem happen since May. I really have no idea how to solve it.

Hi
I'm off to the US in a month. I've got an unlocked UK MDA Vario ROM 1.6.2.4 WWE Radio 01.12.10. I've ordered a couple of T-mobile prepaid sims from the US so that my family and I can keep in touch over there without being stung by rediculous roaming charges. I gather the Vario will work with my own sim over there but will it work if I put the US sim in it? or do I need to start changing the ROM of the phone?
(I've also got an M1000 (UK) and a couple of Siemens CL75 poppy phones which are also unlocked and should work over there with UK sims)
If there's no joy with my existing phones I'll just get a couple of cheap prepay phones when I'm over there but I'd prefer not to if I don't need to.
Many thanks
Regards

YUP !!!
It'll work perfectly,provided as you say its SIM unlocked,but if its not sim unlocked then I'm afraid,you won't be able to use t-mobile sims.Download the WST tool and verify the locked/unlocked status of your phone or insert sim of any other network in the phone other then the official sim you are using and check if it works or not.
Cheers!
Many thanks Zabardast_1.That's good news. Yes it works with any uk SIM in it (except 3 of course). I unlocked it a while back.
Kind regards

It should work
Hello twojags,
I'm also using a SIM-unlock WIZARD (German version) with a US t-mobile prepaid-SIM.
It works without any problems...
