I have had my m500 for quite a while, I unlocked it as soon as I bought it, as I prefer to use my o2 sim in it. Yesterday I decided to put my Orange sim in it, it would automatically divert my calls to an unknown number, so I had Orang give me a cancel all diverts code (**.....). Now when I go back to put my O2 sim in it, it turns on, but won't search for network signal, instead it says
"invalid or missing sim. you may still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it"
I know it was definately unlocked, just to make sure, I have even unlocked the phone again, but still, other than an Orange sim, nothing works.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance

I just got a new XDA IIi and when I put my Orange SIM in, it does not connect to the network.
If I use a Vodaphone SIM, it connects & gets excellent signal strength. If I make a call it hangs up by itself after dialing. If I try to call it, it goes to Voicemail.
I will try an O2 SIM on the weekend to see what that does.
I used itsme's xdaunlock tool and that said it unlocked the phone but didn't change the problems described above.
Any ideas anyone?
I tried an 02 simm on the weekend and still not working. I take it into an O2 shop and ask them.
I've used LokiWIZ to unlock my O2 XDA Mini I've put my fully functional Vodafone SIM in it and I cannot ring out and connot get a call in. The thing picks up the network and reports it's on Vodafone I can do a *#100* and it reports back the correct phone number. If I dial *#1471* it tells me the last caller (that didn't get through). If you ring the phone you get number unobtainable but the this is connected to a Vodafone cell.
So In summary... cant call it and cant make a call but it's all connected with full signal strength!!
HELP!!!!
Is it a contract or pay as you talk chip.
I am a newbie when it comes to flashing, unlocking and all that. I have a T-Mo branded MDA and my fingers were itchy to get it unlocked. I followed the procedures listed here to the letter, and after no evident issues, wizard service tools says my phone is SIM/CID unlocked. I used WST before downgrading / unlocking, and my phone was locked for both. I am now sporting WM5 2.26 (IPL/SPL 2.26) and my phone is like it was before the unlocking. I would like to update the radio rom and flash WM6 but before that, I would like to make sure my phone is still ok. I currently have radio rom 2.25.11 which is what the phone came with when I got it off ebay.
I do not have another active SIM to test my phone's new SIM unlocked status. I do have an expired prepaid ATT sim card. When I put it in the phone, it boots without asking me for any passwords, however the phone finds no signal. (It sees the network -only Rogers - but it cannot register onto it) I put the ATT inactive sim in another unlocked phone and that one has a signal but says the sim is inactive. I usually live in Florida but I'm on vacation in Canada at the moment so I don't know if Roaming issues might be a problem. T-Mo can roam here but I don't know about Cingular. (and yet the other unlocked phone had a signal)
Should I be concerned about this? Does it mean something went wrong? Can I do anything about it? It's kinda pointless to have an unlocked phone if it will not see the other networks. Any ideas? I think I've seen similar threads here but I tried searching and couldn't find any anymore. I've been up all night and my brain is foggy. Any input you might have would be appreciated.
Thanks!

so nobody encountered this problem before?
An unlocked phone isn't going to connect to any network unless you've got an active SIM card in it.
The fact that it turns on and boots up with the inactive ATT SIM card in there without asking for a subsidy password, means that you've successfully unlocked it.
If you want the phone to get a signal, you need to put an active SIM card (any active SIM card) in the MDA.
Hi All,
A little while ago on my Nike (Orange UK) my phone stopped working - can't call out or recieve calls I just get a text message telling me I have a missed call. My callers report going directly to voicemail.
I can still get data (internet and email) and sms and I still get a 3G logo with full strength at the top.
If I switch to explicitly GSM band (as opposed to Auto or UMTS(WCDMA)) through the phone options, everything works as normal again.
I wonder if this is due to putting my 3G sim in my old M600 for a while and an Orange operative sent me some sim updates to allow the 3G sim to work in my old phone. Perhaps this somehow disabled 3G callin/callout support when I went back to my Nike?
When I put this to Orange they don't have a clue what the hell I'm talking about and just suggest a handset replacement which I am less than keen to do.
What is the tecnical name for the "sim update" process called? Does anyone know spacificly what command Orange might have sent to my sim? Perhaps if I can talk to them in their own language they'll be able to help me further.
Thanks peeps!
Iv got an SPV M1000 which I unlocked from Orange successfully, iv used it on T-Mobile and O2 with no problems, I now want to use it with 3 for thier mbile broadband deal, and it wont have it the PDA boots, but when I got to phone it says "Invalid or missing SIM card, you can still make emergency calls if your provider supports it"anyone know how I can make my PDA work with 3?
Thanx
sorry it's been reported that 3 lock their sims from being used in non 3g phones
