Guest dadashi Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Here are links to a few SIM Unlocking Cards for locked phones on ebay, I've never used them before so I have several questions, 1- DO they work on the OMC / Skate? 2- If so do they only work with normal GSM connection or 3G also? 3- DO they shorten battery life.

Guest lordjubblydave Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have tried 2 different ones. They kind of work I could text and call, and but my OMC thought it was roaming . I could get no internet access at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get no internet access at all Even if you enable roaming ? (Its to be expected that that would happen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lordjubblydave Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Even if you enable roaming ? (Its to be expected that that would happen). Yes even if i enabled data while roaming, also all of the APN's vanished so i could not edit anything, i figured it was part of the Orange lockdown, tried with a Tmobile sim and a GiffGaff sim.

No he means did you enable data roaming. Also did you try and add the APNs manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lordjubblydave Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I worded it wrong data while roaming was enabled. I also manually added an apn alike I said it was not visible so I could not select any apn's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 so in conclusion absolutely no 3G internet possible with a sim unlock card...which rules it out completely, what good is a smartphone without mobile internet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
