Guest PaulOBrien Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 The Orange San Diego is SIM locked from the store, but accepts both Orange and T-Mobile SIMs (and has APN configurations for both, i'm using it with my T-Mo SIM atm!) Post here if you find an unlock! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Works on T-Mobile already? That's really good...why did you have to tell us that though?! I've only just got my G300! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rem1x Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Oh, that's excellent! Saves me a load of hassle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k0nrad Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Damn, I'm getting more and more interested in this device, but it has to get a full SIM unlock... Hopefully there'll be one soon. Doesn't Orange UK provide SIM unlock service (for a charge)? Here in Poland Orange is pretty much the only carrier still selling locked phones, but you can unlock it for something about twenty quid IIRC if on contract, don't know about PAYG phones.

Guest WodgeFTW Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 https://mobile.twitter.com/OrangeHelpers/status/210006232092774400 I asked orange, seems you need to keep it for 3 months before doing it for £20 and change. Wondering if i can just top up £15 and leave it for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k0nrad Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) So it's another ~£40 to the price at the moment... (or less, as they seem to take the unlock fee off your PAYG credit?) I guess if there is/will be a Lava Xolo x900 unlock, it should work for San Diego too, since it's essentially the same device - the SanFran unlock worked globally, didn't it? (I know, it's different manufacturer, different everything) Edited June 5, 2012 by k0nrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seejayou Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Does it work with a Virgin Mobile sim with them using T-Mobile and Orange as their underlying network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I don't have one here to test unfortunately! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Should work with Virgin Mobile as those SIMs work in any T-Mobile device. The ROM has the right APNs for Virgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seejayou Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Not so sure it will work as I've just tried my sim in an orange locked phone and it gave me a network lock error. If it would take the sim I'd buy it today but without checking or there being an unlock its not worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hecatae Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 is it in the rom, as the lava xolo x900 is sim free, using an x900 rom may unlock the device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The San Diego accepts T-Mobile (including operators that use T-Mobile) and Orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rem1x Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Orange store will tell you that you can't use T-Mobile - they're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Looking at some old test roms it looks to me that the phone was planned to be release on T-Mobile but was switched to Orange. May be wrong though but it is weird how it works on both networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondlife Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Even if it did start out on t-mobile they could've restricted it just to orange easily enough surely, seems that it's more down to them starting to integrate the networks more.

Guest Lollingsgrad Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'll be following this thread eagerly; I'm buying this handset the moment an unlock appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nikc0069 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 As it uses an xmm6260 which I believe is the same as the s2, would this thread be of any use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092451 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a root app, there's no root for the San Diego yet :( Edited June 7, 2012 by spences10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nikc0069 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I know though it is linked from another thread but it still needs root to do this manually. I don't know much about rooting or I'd have a go on the image. Assume nobody tried one click root over on xda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nikc0069 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Also if this is x86 them don't we just need a su binary compiled for x86? Would the emulator image help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rem1x Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 £10 a month on payg gets me 1 or 3gb of data and unlimited texts on t-mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
