Guest Lew247 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) The R showing would simply be because it was using a network other than the one your phone is simlocked to. As far as your phone is concerned, your "roaming" it doesn't know your using a non orange sim card. Edited September 21, 2011 by Lew247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
