Successfully unlocked O2 XDA II but can't make/receive calls

Hi,
I've tried both the 1.5 and 1.6 unlockers and both report success. I have fitted a Vodafone sim and both the sim and network are recognised.
However, if I try making a call the screen shows 'Dialing..' then goes straight to 'Call ended'. If I try phoning the Vodafone number then it is reported as unable to connect. I have tried both soft and hard reset.
The Vodafone sim is valid and works fine in another phone (I no longer have the original O2 sim , it was on a company contract that has been cancelled).
Do I need to set anything to use the Vodafone network or any ideas on gettting this running as a phone again?
Thanks.

Just noticed that under Phone Settings it says Phone Number: Not Available...?

did you try hard reset ???

Yep, hard reset at least 3 times now. I've also used the PIN to lock and unlock the SIM so the XDA and SIM are talking.

some sims are not compatible try another sim

Does Orbit work with Vodafone SIM card?

I would like to change network provider from O2-Vodafone but still use my Orbit. Will this work and how would I stop it automatically installing the o2 GPRS settins?
Thanks

hi, i purchased a O2 XDA orbit about 3 weeks ago and the person i purchased it from said it was locked to O2. When i recieved the phone it worked straight away with the vodafone sim card. after reading a few threads it seems as tho the O2 XDA orbit's are unlocked already?
i'm not sure how to stop the O2 settings from starting but im sure i seen somewhere that if you soft reset by pressing the little button on the side with a pin as soon as the o2 settings start that should bypass it??
i cid unlocked mine and flashed the Touch 3 vanilla rom and its running sweet with pocketPBplus 4.0.
it automatically setup the settings for vodafone and i can send and recieve mms and also browse online thru the vodafone gprs
hope this helps as its my first post!

[Q] Defy Emergency Call Only

Hello all,
I am new here, My name is Lewis, and you all seem like a very clever bunch of people. So i was wondering if you could give me some help with my Defy.
So here we go:
I bought my Defy last week after my Nokia died, it is second hand, and was locked and branded to T-Mobile (UK). I got it unlocked a few days ago, and it unlocked straight the way with the 1st code. So i assumed all was well. After trying to send a message, i realized that it was stuck in 'Emergency Call Only'. After a bit of searching around the interweb, i found that i had to check my APN Settings. The sim card i have is with Tesco Mobile, so i found out the APN settings and all seemed fine. I have tried hard reseting the phone, but still no luck.
It is all standard, so do i have to do any flashing to get it to have signal? Thank you for your help in Advance.
Motorola Defy
Locked to T-mobile
Unlocked to work with Tesco Mobile sim (O2 masts)
4GB memory card
All default.
Edit: When I 1st put the Sim Card in, it has signal for a few seconds before reverting to emergency calls only.

" Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network "

Hi there,
I'm on vaca for one month in Africa and I am trying to use my sim card but I have this message :" Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network "
I tried two different sim cards but I still have the same issue.
Note that the phone was working perfectly yesterday with my Tmobile Sim Card.
It's an international One X so I don't think that I need to unlock it.
Do you guys have any solutions?
Thank you

it sounds like something tmobile end has changed on your account, if possible i'd call them to see if they can help get it working again
other thing to check is the roaming settings, check its enabled etc

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not using that Tmobile sim card anymore. But an Orange one.
Should I factory reset it and see if it'll work?
Thanks

i had this happen on mine, ive got tmobile sim, it went to tmobile orange signal, i tried to manually switch it back to tmobile (better signal coverage) and it said the same thing.
A reboot didnt fix it so i went into settings, storage, make more storage and then cleared all temporary data for all apps.
this seems to temp fix the issue and allows me to reconnect to my peferred network it still happens every now and then so it could be a software gitch with the hox

Just tried it. Didn't work
I will restore it and see how it goes

Even with the New Rom, Superwipe I still have the same issue ?

DINC2 unlocked but doesn't recognize SIM in Panama...help!!!

hi. i just got this phone in the states before coming down to panama. it is verizon, but i called them and they gave me the code and now the phone is unlocked....but i can't get coverage here in panama. i've tried sim cards from a few of the local operators and none of them seem to work. i sure hope someone can help....here's what i've done so far: (oh, pls b patient, i'm a bit of a technophobe)
-unlocked sim. phone gives me sim lock is disabled message....that means i'm good to go, right/
-set phone to gsm only mode.
-software is androaid version 2.3.4
verizon global services told me that everything was as it should be and that the phone should work w/ a local sim card so i'm not really sure where to turn to......hopefully someone here can help. verizon also told me that the phone should work on the frequencies here. i have a claro sim card, but have also tried movistar, digicel, and masmovil. i was told that they use either 850 or 1900.
so, i'm totally stumped. hopefully i'm missing something stupid....btw, tried the sim in other phones (from europe and panama) and it worked w/ them. don't think it's a hadrware problem, but am i missing something? is there a setting change? do i need some kind of software update?
thanks!

update- get cell phone reception w/ gps on
don't know if this will help anyone get to the bottom of this issue, but i realized that when i have the gps on, i get full bar coverage. unfortunately, i can't leave the app on in the background. this makes me think it could be a hardware issue....bad antenna? anyone have any ideas

Same problem
I have the same issue as OP. Got my phone sim unlocked, and it runs on SenseMOD-2012-05-18-225643 Android 4.0.4.
For once I did a factory reset, skipped verizon activation (can´t do and won´t work because I´m not in the USA and do not have a verizon SIM or service), set my network preference to GSM/WCDMA, and the network wasn´t working.
Rebooted, my network is identified as soon as it starts, but then it goes to "No Service". Try to search for network but my carrier does not appear.
Any help?
EDIT:
Playing around with the phone, setting GSM as your network and restarting the phone let me make phone calls. No internet though and the APN was configured correctly. The "E" symbol for the internet blinked once in a while, but never got service.
Also, playing around some more, got my phone to not recognize the network again by removing the SIM another time. This sucks.
