Does anyone know how I can make my O2 xda orbit work on all networks?
Arif
It SIM Unlocked Should Already
AFAIK, O2 does not SIM lock their handsets.
So in practice, just go ahead and try another network's SIM in the handset and it should work.

have you inserted the cards propertly and are those cards locked somehow
o2 sim lock
im 99% sure the three network sims will not work on these nifty little jobbies. And in answer to the above O2 DO NETWORK LOCK PHONES. if your phone was from 02 and it was not locked your just lucky.

Hi,
I've tried to use my company simcard within my MDA Compact 2 but it won't work!! Any suggestions? The Compact 2 is probably simlocked but since I also use T-mobile in privat I got no idea why it doesn't work!
I got the new ROM update from T-Mobile Austria!
Please Help
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Your company is using T-mobile
You personally uses T-Mobile
You are in Austria
You used the Austria T-mobile upgrade
Right?
What is the message you see when you use your company SIM
absolutly right!
The SIM says T-Mobile! The SIM Card is working fine on my company cell phone!
This is really strange! There shouldn't be any difference between privat and company contracts cause it's the same network (T-Mobile)
The Compact 2 acts like there's no SIM Card in it
... T-Mobile Austria provided a ROM update to solve some bugs!
Before I switched to the new update I tryed the company SIM - Same result!
if the sim card is old it may not be compatible with the device
it's been know to happen
would it make any difference on an unlocked phone?
Or is it not possible to use this sim card at all?
If the phone act as though as there is no SIM card at all, it doesn't sound like a locked phone. a locked phone will gives you various unhelpful messages. Probably as Rudegar said, in compatible SIM card. I have not heard any thing (case or solution) on SIM incompatibility. Can't help you.
one could always ask for a new sim
i've don that before my network sendt me
one right away
I guess I'll try to get a new SIM!
This will probably solve the problem
Cheers, guys
Ok When I Turn My Dash On Now I Get A Screen That Say ..sim Card Is Missing Or Is Invalid...i Even Tried My Wifes Sim Card Does The Same Thing...any One Got Any Ideas...my Other Dash Works Fine.....please Help I Tried Reboots And Different Roms...etc...still Does It Seems Like The Phone Isnt Reading My Sim Card..the Phone Is Only 1 Month Old..
Are you sure the phone is SIM unlocked? Or if the SIM card is the right one for the phone? There's really only one correct way to insert a SIM card....Are you sure this isn't an ID10T error? PEBKAC error maybe?

What network do you have, and where did you get your phone from. I can try to help you out from here just let me know the network and where you have your phone from. Also tell me if the phone is tmobile branded (if it says tmobile on it in the front).

I have the same problem. When I was running WM6, I would get this error multiple times throughout the day and I'd have to turn the PHONE function off then back on or sometimes I'd even have to do a soft-reset to get my Dash to recognize my SIM. Now that I have flashed my to Kavanna's WM6.1 I only get this error once a day, but I'd like to know how to stop it from happening.
Network: T-Moblie
Bought From: Ebay
Branded: Yes
Sim Unlocked: No
App Unlocked: Yes
WM 6.1 Standard
Radio Version 4.1.13.51_03.07.90
RIL Version 2.002
CE OS 5.2.19700 (Build 19700.1.1.0)
Thanks in advance.
If you have not exchanged your SIM in a while it could just be that the SIM is old, yeah it happens. It is free to swap out your SIM card at any T-Mobile retail store. I had this problem about a year ago and I simply went to T-Mobile and they gave me a new SIM (they just copy the contents of your SIM to a new one and program it with your number. Solved my SIM error message.
Also your SIM may be inserted wrong, it could be dirty (the contacts can 'gloss over') or there is dirt / dust in the SIM holder.. blow it out.
If all the above fails then it is the device, if under warranty have it replaced.
I had the SIM card replaced by T-Mobile about a month ago and that solved the problem for a couple of days, but now it's back. I made sure it is aligned right and clean.
Any other ideas?
I got a Tmobile compact IV (diamond) sevral weeks ago in nerthlands. and flash the rom successfully.
However ,there is a boring issue that the machine always went to death when the TMOBILE sim card inserted in. while i use other sim cards it can work!!
I really dont know what is the hell going on with the fuking machine. I even unlock the sim lock and pay for 15 euros!! The mater still exist~~
forgive my bad english . and anybody can help me ?
maybe you have a faulty sim card?? try another t mobile sim card - if you unlocked it and all other sims work it should be fine
Up to what state it boots up before dying.
i also got my t-mobile phone recently.
when i inserted the t-mobile sim card in, it froze the mobile while searching for network...
t-mobile told me that is because my sim card from t-mobile is not activated yet and it usually takes 48 hours before I can use it.
when did you choose to "activate your contract"? did you choose to activate it immediately?
you can try the t-mobile sim card on other phone. it must also show "limited service".
I guess the problem is not your phone.
The reason I say this is a weird situation is because I'm actually using an old Suncom SIM card. My girlfriend's phone finally died after going through numerous drops/abuse for the past few years, so I was going to give her my old Dash. Now, the official ROM does that "network is locked" thing, so I figured I would a custom ROM. Well, I was able to start up the phone successfully and use it fully with the Suncom SIM inserted, but it does not find the T-mobile signal.
Is there a way around this, or is she going to have to go to T-mobile and have her SIM converted over to a T-mobile one?

is your phone sim unlock? In order to use other provider< you phone must be sim unlocked>
good luck
That's the thing though, it's not being used by a DIFFERENT provider, but actually by the SAME provider. The only problem is that the SIM card is from the old company before the two merged, so I'm guessing that makes a difference.

Maybe as we have company's that use same carrier yet the sims can't be used without unlock phone.
Eg: BT, Asda both use Vodaphone yet can't have a Vodaphone or Asda SIM in a BT phone without unlock...
Ok, this is probably a stupid question but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere I look.
I got a SIM Unlock code from TMobile and everywhere I read the only way of entering it is to insert a non-TMO SIM.
I can't find my old AT&T SIM card to do this... So is there any way to get to enter the unlock code either without a SIM card at all or with the current TMO SIM?
I don't want to have to pester my friends to use their SIM cards.
Any ideas?

It has been a while since I did this, but I didn't have to change my SIM card to unlock my phone. It has been several years, and that was an HP phone...
However, maybe you could pick up a cheap one on ebay?

Bribe them maybe? LOL seriously though, you'll need to get your hands on a card from another carrier to make this happen in the TP2, just for a few seconds.
Could you maybe just provide the unlock code you have now to whoever will be using the phone with a different SIM, and let them handle that last step of unlocking?

That person would be me. I just like having it unlocked just in case. Even if I have no intention of switching providers yet.
But seriously, I don't understand why HTC did not implement an option to unlock a phone without physically switching SIM's. Oh well, I guess I will need to do that then.

Did you go over this with T-Mobile customer service? When I got my HP unlocked, there was a sequence I went through that caused the phone to ask me for the unlock code.
I think I just came across it...onslaught86 just posted over in the HD2 forums about a SIMLock app in the windows folder...run that and you should get the same screen you get if you put a different carrier's card in and boot the phone. Full credit def to onslaught...I had no idea such a thing existed

I hope this works, cause I'm in the exact same situation. I used to have an old T-Mobile prepaid SIM that I used just for this purpose, but apparently I've misplaced it. The Tilt 2 is at work, I'll try it first thing tomorrow.
