That's a good sign, if a 3 year old one can unlock the phone. Presumably a new one will fix the internet issues. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a t-mobile connection using with my unlocked OSF and and getting an R signal has not resulted in any roaming charges. This happens when the phone switches to Orange network since they have started signal sharing. When I tick data roaming in mobile settings, I even get G (but not 3G or H) and data works. Anyone tried or bought the newest of these unlocking SIMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knuckless69 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I received that exact universal sim unlocker today: it Does NOT Work on the OMC With some sims, the phone does not pick up a signal With others, they are not recognised as inserted in the phone Have tried on a Defy as well and got the same results on the same sims. O2 (UK), Lebara (Denmark), Vodafone (Romania), TIM (Italy), Poste Mobile (Italy) Putting in an Orange sim card, with the adapter, as far as the phone is concerned the sim does not appear as inserted.

Just to be clear, you ordered a NO CUT UNIVERSAL UNLOCK TURBO SIM CARD and it works on your OMC with vodafone PAYG SIM? Have you tried using mobile data? I am interested in knowing if you can get 3G speeds with this thing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried using mobile data? I am interested in knowing if you can get 3G speeds with this thing. Thanks. Thats right, I ordered a NO CUT UNIVERSAL UNLOCK TURBO SIM CARD and it works on my OMC with vodafone PAYG SIM. Im afraid I don't get a 3G vodafone signal where I live and use a Mifi for all my devices so don't use mobile data on my phone. In Mobile network settings on the OMC there are options for WCDMA so with the right APN I can't see why you couldn't get 3G.
