Sim Free phone on Orange...

6 replies · 3,404 views · Started 11 November 2003

Hi,

Does anyone know or can recommend the procedure when buying a sim free phone when its going to be used with an Orange simcard.

Like I am guessing as the phone isnt out they wont offer insurance on it, should I tell them that I am using that phone, will they mind?

will they be able to support the same sorts of orange services, like MMS GPRS and eventually accept it...

basically will I suffer in anyway by not being able to get the most out of the handset by doing this? or shall I wait for it to come out on orange.

i have sim free 7650 and i have orange sim and movistar for when in spain i can get mms wap internet not gprs as you have to be contract but the phones fine

And what about things like the new video messaging that Orange are about to bring out will I be able to subscribe to those services...

Will,

Can you help ? I've just bought a SIM-Free 6600 and everything is fantastic except for the fact that I do not recive any indication that I have new voicemail messages. The litttle spool signal does not po-up and so I am missing messages left for me.

Have you suffered this problem ? Any thoughts on how to rectify it ?

Thanks

RSK

Not sure which network you are on, but I had this problem from Orange before. It was a system fault of theres and it meant I missed some very important vociemails and so missed some important events....they reset it and it got back again.
