I posted this on another forum but the only replies i got were of people who are having the same problem so i thought i would try here.
I've just taken a new contract out with orange (Dolphin30 + SPV M700) and everything works fine but the wife doesn't like the M700 so i've put the simcard in the old C500. I can make/receive calls and receive text but i can't send text.
When i try to send a text i get the message "Your SMS message has not been sent because the SIM is not valid". Orange have sent a replacement simcard but it's still the same. I rang orange again but they are not interested because it works in the M700.
I've tried the simcard in the following phones.
Nokia 6310i - works
Nokia 6230i - works
3x SPV C500 - won't send text
2x SPV C600 - won't send text
SPV M700 - works
It looks like the simcard won't work with the SPV C series. I've flashed the firmware to the latest by orange uk and tried a hard reset but still no joy.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Any help appreciated.
regards Joe
I have had a simular problem. I have upgrade my phone and my sim and also have this error message. I have a friend who has the genuine HTC version of this handset. I will try my sim in his handset and post back any success.

Hello all ! Being new to swithching roms and all that.
Can you tell me if I can change a new xda2, on o2 ,bought from ebay to orange,since this is the payg sim I use?I know I don't have to but it all comes together better then.
Thanks everyone.
Change to Orange
Yep did mine no problem - jut unlock it with software from this forum and stick the SIM in
xda2 on oange rom
Thanks for reply.
So you just download latest rom from orange,and do upgrade,yes?
Seems to easy.
I actually just put the Orange SIM in and left the O2 software intact. I don't use WAP, GPRS, etc so didn't need to change anything.
I did have a problem with SMS messages being blank, so I upgraded the ROm to the IMate one and found that texts worked OK so log as I put a +44 in front of the phone number.
Good Luck
Hi all,
I have an SPV M3100 and have just discovered my boss has been sending me business cards (by text) from his mobile - and I have not received them, not even a text message.
I have searched the forums and can only find reference to an app which scans printed business cards using the camera.
I am pretty sure I have received business cards on my old Vario (.vcf format?) but the SPVM3100 doesnt do anything - not even a text!
He is using a Nokia N70, also on Orange.
Any thoughts?
Hi Markee,
I've just done some testing with an N70, RAZR and my M3100 on Orange and another N70 on T-Mobile.
None of the devices on Orange can receive a business card although they all send OK and return a delivery report but nothing is received!!!
If I send from any device to the N70 on T-Mobile it is recieved every time so it looks like it's an Orange SMSC to Phone issue!!! might be worth calling their service desk on this.
Gav.
Thanks Gavin!
Will get onto Orange.....
Hi, I have recently bought a Sim unlocked O2 XDA Mini S. I am on Orange network and put my sim in. Making and receiving calls no problem.
It wont allow me to send or receive text messages. I called Orange to replace Sim and they wont do it. I am absolutely clueless about ROM s or IMEI s etc. and i would appreciate help and explanations as though i am a 10 year old.
All i know is that the device is a G4. I have tried searching forums but have no idea where to find it.
Please help as it is getting really frustrating.
Thanks
Orange SIM in an unlocked T Mobile MDA
I can't really help, but I can say I have the same issue, so you are not alone!!
I have an Orange sim in an unlocked T-Mobile MDA. I have got the GPRS, Internet and POP3 emails working. I can send and receive calls but cannot get any SMS messages !! I have been at this for three days now.
Orange don't support this phone so will not help.
Any solutions to this welcomed !!!
I recently upgraded my Tytn to a Tytn II and received a new sim with it.
I use my C500 for work (as it gets bashed about) and it worked 100% with the old sim I had.
I tried it with the new sim expecting it to work, everything works except I am unable to send text messages. If I go into phone settings, the SMS center number is blank and if I input the number, it doesn't save. The sim works 100% with the Tytn II.
If I put my old sim in the C500 it doesn't connect to the network as it's been disabled, but the SMS center number IS in the correct box.
Does anyone know of a way to rectify this problem? I've been onto orange tech. support and they were most unhelpful and suggested I use my Tytn II for work, they did try sending sim updates, but that didn't work.
Cheers
Me too...its the bug of WM6
i thought that my network does this sh**....but now!!!!
OK just restart UR phone
It's not WM6, i did have WM2003 but I upgrade to WM5 and Wm6 to see if they would sort it.... it didn't.
I've got onto orange again and they're looking into it apparently.
Did you ever get anywhere with this? I too want to use my old C500 for work but I can't send SMS.
Cheers,
Warey
Yeah, after weeks and weeks of orange trying to sort it there end, they sent me out a new sim card and that sorted it. I did register the new sim in the C500 just incase it was that.
I have two XDA Mini S phones, which I believe are fully unlocked. I am able to use a Vodaphone sim in them and everything works perfect. When I put my works Orange sim in them the phone works i.e. I can make and receive calls but the Sim Manager does not work. Which means I cannot access the contacts on the sim card or use the options menu to configure the phone. When I try to access the options menu I get the message " the phone is not ready, please wait 15 seconds and try again"
Has anyone else had this problem and gotten over or around it. I have spoken to both o2 and Orange and they are both an absolute waste of time. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.
Hi,
I am on orange too, also had the same trouble. I could make and receive calls, but could not access sim card to add contacts or send / receive texts. The XDA mini is a 2G phone, my orange sim is was a 3G. When I changed it for my wifes 2G orange sim, all worked perfectly, so we just swapped sims and phone numbers. Tried to get a 2G sim out of orange on my contratc, they were having none of it, said I would have to go PAYG. So I did the swap with the wife and extended the contract.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for your advice Mlkey.
Following your response I contacted Orange and changed my works contract 3G sim for a 2G sim on contract. This still does not work and as usual I am getting no real help from Orange.
Looks like the only solution will be to change my mobile / pda, that is, unless anyone else has any other possible fix.
Are PAYG sim's different than contract sim's ??, if they are does anyone know if I were to get a PAYG sim that worked in my XDA would I be able to get my company number transfered to that sim and convert the sim from PAYG on to my works contract account ???.
I would appreciate all the help / advice I can get, before this drives me mad !!!

Fixed this problem by using the t-mobile 2.26 rom as described in "Definitive Guide to unblocking and rom upgrading g3 wizards
I am having exactly the same problem. My phone is a G4 and I believe it to be fully unlocked from o2. According to orange my sim is a G2 sim because the 7th number of the sim card begins with a 2 and not a 3. I cant even try a different rom because I can't connect to my computer with active sync through usb or bluetooth this has been for about a year now.I usually transfer files through a card reader. Can anybody help me because the deal with orange is really good but the phone is useless without sms or mms and I really dont want to change the phone.
My IPL 2.21.001
