Hi Guys,
I hope this has not been asked before as it appears to be a common fault, I have just unlocked a 6600 on Orange to be used on T-mobile, it tells me it no longer locked yet when I insert any SIM it just turns itself off!! However, when I enter an Orange SIM it works fine. Any ideas please?
Thanks
Martin
I not sure that this is the case, but does it still have orange firmware installed? Is there a menu icon called 'Orange Places'? As I have never done what you have done I am not sure but maybe it is an Orange failsafe method that the firmware rejects a non orange sim, I am not sure if this is possible.
Also on a less conspirital note you could try cleaning your sim contacts.
Hi, Yes everything is Orange branded still even after a full format, I have tried both a T-Mobile and Voda SIM , all that happes is phone will boot up then shut straight down again. Soon as I put an Orange SIM back in it works fine... Help
Just an idea following on from what I said, maybe get the firmware upgraded? Go to NSS and see what they say.
what did you use to unlock your handset?
If you used one of the unlocking calculators to generate the unlock code, you may need to enter more than one of the codes...
