Perhaps someone with a little more tech knowledge should respond... but there is no reason to believe the Rebel Sim would not continue to be an acceptable solution, regardless of OS.
The function of the Sim is independent of the OS.

Based on the installation instructions for the djsteve froyo Rom there appear to be rebel sim issues. My first streak was an o2 plus rebel simply, I sold it and bought an unlocked one. Get yourself an unlock code is my recommendation.....

No !
I just update my streak O2 UK in 2.2 and it no longer recognize my sim card.
But it worked well with my Rebel sim II in 1.6 and 2.1
It won't work, already posted that on the other post before you posted this one
There's also about 300 links on google warning that with 2.2 they knowlonger work
Here's another question:
After you upgrade to 2.2 can you still log into the market with no simcard card?
As when i upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 i could not log in to the market using just wifi, i had no credit on my sim card and had to top up so i could log in using 3g first then log in using wifi after.

Having suffered with the Rebelsim 1.1 firmware for a while I decided to upgrade the Rebelsim firmware to 1.2 using the flasher and the Android to the leaked 2.1.
Rebel simply works without having to enable the roaming!. Cool, I'll try it for a couple of days regular use and see how it performs.

I mistakingly thought I had flashed 1.2 - but didn't complete the flashing procedure properly. I successfully flashed 1.2 last nite - and now my locked O2 Streak is now working without any problems with my Australian Optus SIM.
I would describe the Rebel Sim 1.2 as making my phone seem like its totally unlocked.
Rebel Sim 1.1 definitely sucked - but 1.2 seems like the real deal
Hi, what is the difference on this new version of 1.2. with the 1.2, have you lost your network connection? (lose network connection then need to take out sim card and put it in another phone then back to the streak) have you experience any of that with the new version 1.2 or probably less network loss? Thanks
No need to take out the Sim with 1.2 just works for me. Havent lost network connection yet

Thank you guys for the reply, but which network do you use? i use AT&T on o2 dell streak but everyday i get a network lost. Probably, because im still in the old rebel sim version (not so sure which version i have) is there a way to check the version? or did this 1.2 version just came out?
1.2 jusr came out. U can upgrade it but u need a sim programmer

ok! dataplan gone, how about phone service etc? do they still work? can make do with wifi if phone service works ok.. please let me know.
bR
Phone service was ok with firmware 1.2 and wifi always was fine. It was just the data that stopped working, no E or G or H. The second streak I bought for 99 euro with a 2 year 25 euro per month 5gb per month plan has 1.6 build 6267, and for the moment I will stay on 1.6 because all if the 2.1 roms seem to require the o2 UK version....

Hey guys n galls, this has probably been asked many a time already. I need to get my streak unlocked from O2 uk so I can use my T-Mobile SIM
What I would like to know is there any way to unlock this without calling O2 or Dell I.e. by an IMEI unlock code generator or even an app I could use on the Streak?
I hope there is something I can do myself
Thanks in advance and merry christmas.

rebel sim does not work with 2.2 though
Aye, going to do a downgrade untill they sort the FW to run on 2.2

Just called O2 spoke to a guy who said "yes I can do that for you today sir" but once I gave him the IMEI he then told me there was another 6 months till they will provide me with the code. Ohh well will have to wait a week till my rebel sim comes.

Hey does anyone know how u can find out what kinda of streak u have. I got my dell streak from ebay and I don't know if it was an at&t or O2 or rogers. If there a way to find out?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
all of those are locked to their respective companies. so, for example, an ATT streak will only work with ATT sim cards, and so on.. if you want more informations, look in settings/phone info for the baseband version.
When I got mine it was unlocked and the baseband is GAUSB1A131921-US. Any ideas?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
The reason I ask is when u boot the phone up it comes I up with the O2 logo and on the baseband it says US. Soon I assume that the person who owned it before me bought it unlocked in the US and install the O2 software on it since 2.2 it was available at that point and the US version wasn't. I don't even know if that's possible. And if it is, how do I if something has been done to void the warranty.
Sorry I guess should have started with this bit... I am a noob with android.

hi
if you get a pay & go sim then youll be an o2 customer
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-just-sent-me-unlock-code-for-my-dell-streak/
just take no as an answer, keep emailing them back until they say YES, and address your email to SAGAR.
(also tell them that there are HEAPS of forum members got the code from them already)
ps. i got mine unlocked and i'm in AUS
GL
I hve tried a lot, n even sagar has declined my request

I live in greece, i have a locked to O2 phone, and they deny to unlock it because i am not an O2 customer!!
Sagar send me the mail... they told me to find the first owner of the phone!!!! stupid....things!
I don't see why o2 should unlock the phone for you. As they say, you're not an o2 customer, you're not contributing revenue to them and never have. Why should they unlock the phone for you to use on a different network? No-one forced you to buy an o2 streak after all

How unsupportive.
How about paying $20 and getting an unlock code from one of the online websites?

I'm sorry for not being supportive, but as an o2 customer I would effectively be subsidising his/her phone being unlocked. o2 are running a business after all, which makes them very unlikely to start giving stuff away for free. I feel more supportive towards o2 for protecting their revenue stream and (hopefully) in turn keeping my costs as a customer down.
My suggestion for the OP would be to sell the locked Streak and get an unlocked version, or to pay a commercial site to unlock it as suggested above.

tried quite a few of them...none of them worked for me
which one unlocks O2 locked ? I can't find one!
Because I don't have access to one. I'm considering selling it.
Thanks in advance.

To the best of my recollection, in order to use the unlock code that you got for the Streak you have to put a SIM from another carrier into the phone. Find a friend with T-Mobile and borrow his SIM for a minute to unlock your phone.
Dell will give you the unlock code no questions asked...just call.

You did not buy the phone new? If you did and you got it anywhere except Dell then it probably carrier locked.
I would call Dell and give the phone info, they can probably tell you if it was sold unlocked.
once my streak unlocked one time, do I still need the code for future, if I need to switch to switch carrier again. thanks in advance.
No.

I've had 5 different dell streaks so this is from my experience... if you're on AT&T and get "H" data, then your phone is unlocked. If you only get "3G" then your phone is locked.
H and 3G is rom dependant and has nothing to do with the lock status per se
at&t roms have the H icon disabled so it only shows 3g.
All other roms show H when HSPA is available and 3g when only UMTS is available (which is rather rare now)
