I know this has been covered before but has anyone found away of using a 3G sim (orange) on the prophet?
I have a m600 that i have installed wm6.1 on but i havn't tried unbranding it yet...? does that help?
Would using a dual sim with only the 3g sim card in there work?
I am desperate to get this working as I lost my other phone and can't stand my old w850 any more!!

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.
I just got my new M5000 yesterday, bought off Ebay.
It was sold as unlocked - but the phone refuses to accept my sim card for some reason - tells me invalid or missing sim. And yes, my sim works fine on another telefone. I have tried another sim from a friend in my M5000, and that works fine. Does anybody know if the M5000 has some limitation as to what sim cards it accepts?
Thanks, Paul

If you have Sim card very old - I always happens - change it for free at your operator for 3G ( UMTS) services.
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).
Hi, ive just got an hd2 locked to t-mobile UK and when i put the sim in it dosent pick up and signal, also i have tried it in my htc elf and that dosent pick any think up! please help.
Now am I getting this right?
The sim is not working in 2 different phones, correct?
If so - then are the sims compatable? (unlocked phones or the same sim as brand, ie orange phones and orange sim)
If so replace the sim if not - then think about it a bit
Having a problem with a Telstra HD2 model.
With a Telstra SIM in the phone, I can make and receive calls. When I insert a Vodafone SIM into it, I cannot make or receive calls. Call hangs up straight away.
Device is not network locked as HTC phones are not locked with Telstra. Bars display in task bar.
Tried it with Windows 6.5 (factory default) and Android custom ROM. Currently on custom ROM.
Any thoughts?
I had a similiar problem a few years ago and all i had to do was get a new sim card. I was told i had damaged my sim card some how but i was able to save the contacts, transfer them over to the new sim T-mobile gave me and I have not had another problem since.
If you have access to another phone try and insert both sim cards you have in the other phone. If you have problems in the other phone with the sim card thats not working you can safely say its the sim card thats not working correctly and not a phone issue.
Thanks for the reply Craze.
My SIM's do work as I use my Telstra SIM (that works in the HD2) in my old Nokia and my Vodafone on my Galaxy Nexus Prime.
So on the HD2, my Telstra SIM works where I'm able to receive and make calls and my Vodafone is the opposite.
Could it be the phone? I'm hoping that it is so that I can fix it.
Could it be the network providers? If so, then I'll call them which I've already done but they couldn't give me an answer as to why my Voda SIM does that in the HD2.
