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?
Frootmig...
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 have an O2 XDA II which is unlocked and I have been successfully using it in the UK with a Vodafone sim which has GPRS enabled on it.
I'm now in the US for a period of time and have picked up T-Mobile as the preferred GPRS supplier that Vodafone say they have an agreement with.
The Vodafone sim has international roaming both for calls and GPRS but using the usual Vodafone APN=internet and user=web and password=web I can't get connected
Anyone else had a similar experience and solution?
Many thanks
Hi.
Thanks for the great advice I recieved on this forum. I cooked a ROM on lumpistefan and it actually worked! My XDA is UNLOCKED now.
When I unlucked my XDA I did it with a ORANGE SIM card inside. Then I tried to stick a Cellcom card inside and there is no service. Does anyone know a solution for this?
Thanx again

I dont know about Xda I but I can use my XdaII on both Cellcom (as a roamer with an O2 SIM) and on Orange (with a local SIM). go to Start/Settings/Connections/Advances/Select Network/ and Edit the My ISP.
chance are you are set up only for Orange as an ISP. Create a new ISP connection for Cellcom. Make sure you are register for GPRS on both networks. I hope this helps. RamyG
Hi.My brother recenlty bought an unlocked t-mobile branded "magician".He put his o2 uk simcard in and can't get the gprs settings.I have a jam myself and so went onto club imate and downloaded the operator settings for o2 uk and installed them onto his device.Problem is they don't seem to work.Is there something were missing here?Something extra that needs doing with it orginally being t-mobile?please someone help!
kind regards
The only thing I can suggest is that he check his SIM card is enabled for GPRS.
Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me if the XDA mini will work with a 3 Sim (Three the mobile company) once I have unlocked it, I'm not sure if its something I am doing wrong during the unlocking process or just that the handset is not compatible with the sim
Cheers
3 uses what they call a USIM rather than a SIM (it might be the real name for it I don't know)... This is 3G specific and as far as I know, won't work in anything other than a 3G phone.
Usim
I have had a look around a few sites, and some similair phones and the mini say they come with a USIM ??
hiya, yeah i have an O2 3G sim card with my mini xda.
3G - From 3
Hi Guys,
I guess the question i need the answer to is, can a 3G usim- From the UK provider Called "Three" work in an 02 XDA Mini ?
As far as I know "3" SIM cards only work in phones designated by "3"
