Not tried it, but UK O2 Orbits are not network locked, you can put any SIM in - although with it not being a 3G device, there seems little point in putting a Three SIM in as it will just drop back to whichever GSM network Three piggybacks on (O2 I think). I'v just bought a three sim for £1.25 on ebay, so I'll load it up and see what the coverage is like near me - I only get intermittent t-mobile in my place...

it used to be possible but then 3 started to locking their sims so they only worked in 3g phones

aha!
im not so fussed about the 3g coverage its more being able to use that sim card in the phone, whethe rit roams off of o2 or etc. i got my phoen unlocked (originally t-mobile compact 3) and its the only simcard that doessnt work - thats why im suspicios of this shop[ who says they can doo it for £50
please keep me updated as to how your simcard goes, and if anyone knows a way of doing this im all ears!

Virgin Mobile Australia on Vodafone Germany HTC Magic?

Hi guys,
I own a 32B HTC Magic (from Vodafone Germany), and have been able to use my Virgin Mobile (Australia) SIM card, but have only 1 issue, I can't seem to get 3G working.
I know I have a 3G capable SIM, because it has been used on a Nokia 6110 Navigator at full HSDPA speeds. I'm curious, is there a strange lock that ensures that I can only access 2G and WLAN networks? Is there a work-around that I need to sort out to get access to 3G?
Thank you

Can not use Bell Canada SIM on my Touch2 but almost any other SIM works fine.

I am new to htc world. I bought a Touch2 6 months back in Netherlands and it was on Telfort (a local network provider) on Dutch language. Then I moved to Canada and changed the ROM with the help of hardspl to English. But I can not use my new Bell Canada SIM card in this phone. It does not catch any signal. But when I checked through settings - connections - connection setup, then I see under country Canada there are a list of service provider's name listed but no Bell there. I guess this does not mean SIM lock or so. How can I add Bell in that list and make my bell sim work in my touch2 ?
Thanks in advance for any kind of clue !

It won't work at all no matter what you try... the phone doesn't have UMTS 850/1900, and Bell doesn't have GSM. Sorry!
It'll work on Rogers & Fido in 2G/EDGE mode, that's all you'll get in Canada.

what the mate means is that bell uses CDMA and the Touch2 is a GSM mobile phone so you can't use it with bell.

No, that isn't what I mean. Bell's HSPA network, launched about 8 months ago (the one which uses SIM cards) is UMTS-only. The Touch2 does not support Bell's UMTS frequencies. Therefore it sees nothing when a Bell SIM is inserted.

S5 SMG900F LTE issues

Hi guys
I'm new here and kinda stuck with this annoying problem.
I bought an S5 SM-G900F from Dubai (UAE) last year and it worked fine there- used LTE services and all. However, I recently came back to Pakistan where a network called ZONG launched LTE services a few months ago. Thing is... I don't get the option to select LTE in network mode. It just isn't there.
All I can see is:
WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
WCDMA only
GSM only
I'm on stock ROM, btw
G900FXXU1ANG2
Android Kitkat 4.4.2
Someone I know purchased a SM-G900D from Dubai which is a dual SIM S5 and he gets another option: LTE/WCDMA/GMS (auto connect)
So I'm in a fix and I desperately need to get my LTE working. I called the UAE Samsung helpline and they said that apparently LTE only works in the country you purchased the phone from, which I thought was just silly.
I don't want to root my phone- the camera module has been changed once under warranty and I don't want to risk anything. Also, I did try to access the Service mode of the pone but all the settings just bamboozled me. Fiddled with quite a few, but still could not manage to get the LTE option
Any help?
Thanks
Farhan

[Q] Can't get LTE to work (screenshots)

Hey,
I have tried everything...
I am on CloudyG2 2.2, got the D802 European version, 32gb.
My provider is giffgaff which runs on the 02 network in the UK.
Here are some screens. It finds the 4g network and I can register on it, but I never get 4g speed...
APN settings are correct and I have a 4g giffgaff goody bag and 4g enabled sim card.
I'm a bit clueless now...
Thanks for your help!
