Guest mike_ Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 What settings did you use to get it working that much? I'd like a full solution but if I can live with slow data when away from my home wifi until I get a proper unlock from orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 it sounds like only the t-mobile sims are having problems with x-sims, wha is that..? what's different..? I'd like to hear what giffgaff and other users have to say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest g-g-gadgets Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi everyone, I would just like to say I am sorry that people are having problems with the x-sim on the OMC! I would also like to add that until Sunday I didn’t know the x-sim worked with the OMC I was sent an email from a customer called Joey Scarf, below is what he sent: Dear g-g-gadgets, just replying to say that it works with orange monte carlo for unlocking and i posted on the modaco forum about it to load interested people as no unlock as no unlock system found other than turbo sims, did this a few days ago do many were asking for link which i then posted http://android.modaco.com/topic/344765-unlocking-the-orange-monte-carlo/page__st__560__gopid__1820449#entry1820449 so you might have seen a big increase in sales by orange monte carlo users, so i would add this phone to the top of your list for which it works I would also recommend creating a new listing under 'orange monte carlo unlock sim', as new phone and hundreds searching ebay/internet for way to unlock Joey - scarfjoey To: scarfjoey Subject: Re: Details about the item: scarfjoey sent a message about Mobile Unlocking Super X-Sim Unlock Nokia, Sony, HTC + #260862925690 Sent Date: 06-Oct-11 09:56:14 BST Dear scarfjoey, I'm sorry it's not on the support list however it might be possible that the x-sim will work with it, you are welcome to try one at no risk to you, just contact me to let me know if it doesn't work and I will see if I can offer any help in getting it working and if unsucsessful simply return it for a full refund.

Guest Blueton Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 it sounds like only the t-mobile sims are having problems with x-sims, wha is that..? what's different..? I'd like to hear what giffgaff and other users have to say.... Tried my giff gaff tonight no joy ..tried going through the codes and got stuck at 0167.....it asked for the network unlock code which is our orange code 23433 plus three digits for our phone mode code ??? which I don't know . It said I had 10 attempts to put it in so gave up . Anyone know what outr three digit code is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike_ Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I've been trying to get a giffgaff sim working, as I posted earlier when I got the sim this afternoon it initially seemed to work straight out of the box - the phone found O2 network and showed full signal strength with the roaming icon showing, when I turned data on it lost signal and I can't get it back again, I've tried every code on the instruction sheet and tried changing the network codes following the instructions posted by g-g-gadgets earlier in the thread. I'll probably spend an hour or so tomorrow lunchtime trying to get it to work (where I live the 3g signal is week but at work its very good) and if I still have no joy i'll have to return it and wait for a proper unlock.

Guest mike_ Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Blueton - That sounds like the phones sim unlock box has come up, ie the turbosim hasn't unlocked it, DONT enter anything in that one - it's for the unlock code orange will give you. I've been through all the codes and half a dozen or so didn't unlock the phone, you have to pull the battery to get rid of the box, the rest unlocked the sim but didn't allow connection to the network. g-g-gadgets - Great customer service it's a shame there wasn't a bit more questioning when it was reported your turbosim worked, it will be a shame if you end up losing money on this.

So far refunded 6 people out of about 62 so I am already losing money and somehow I don't think that will be it, this whole thing is upsetting me, I am not blaiming him but I wish joey scarf never posted my link on here telling everyone that it works and I wish I didn't jump to it and put the OMC on my support list as he sugested I did.

Guest putbinoot Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) you have to pull the battery to get rid of the box, Just press emergency call then hold down power button and click ok, phone does not get time to put call through. Been trying all day to get this working. Edited October 12, 2011 by putbinoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tillaz Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Are you showing as being in Roaming Mode ? Have you tested messages and calls in and outbound ? How did you do it :D ? first time round i woz using a brand new t mobile sim.... showed as having no signal second time round i used my original sim witch has been cut in to a micro sim from my old iphone.... all i did woz put the turbo sim in the slot first then slide in my micro sim to match the connectors & it worked. after i tried all the programing codes i just set it back to 0032. only thing is the status bar thinks its on 3g, yet the ABOUT says HSDPA and data speeds are of HSDPA [THE ABOVE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2.3.5 ROM , & WILL BE FIXING IT SOON] Edited October 13, 2011 by tillaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) UPDATE, FIXED.(this is on bluemonte 1.6 the 2.3.4 version the above has icon problems) Edited October 13, 2011 by tillaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Well done Tilaz for getting it working....so it seems to be inserting the X-sim and sim properly to get a good contact... HSDPA is still a good speed....you probably only have 300MB a month before the speed drops to GPRS, so thatll help get through to the end of the month... I dont understand, you had HSDPA speeds but in the second picture you have 4G...?....you mean you still have HSDPA speed but changed the 3G icon to 4G...?

Guest whatcolour Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 tillaz are you getting incoming and out going calls and texts. I am having exactly the same problem that one of the above posts had, i.e., signal when first plugged in, lost when switching on data and after reboots nothing worked since (no signal what-so-ever). tillaz, care to share a bit on what exactly you did to make it work? I have tried what you mentioned in a previous post but still no luck. I am thinking whether this is a network related thing, is anyone using Three find the unlock sim working?
