C500 and 6230 SIM cards

[Guest iainp999]

hi chaps,

a friend is able to get a contract 6230 and C500, both on orange. she wants to swap the sim from the 6230 into the SPV (so an orange contract SIM in the SPV) and stick a PAYG SIM from virgin into the 6230.

please don't ask why since it's quite a lengthy explanation :-)

any issues here? the 6230 need unlocking somehow?

TIA

Iain

Hi Iain,

I had a contract Orange 6230 before I got my C500. I just swopped the SIM from the 6230 straight into the C500 - worked fine. However I did have to phone Orange who sent me a SIM update which configured all the GPRS and MMS settings etc. They were quite happy to do this and I had no problems. As for using a Virgin SIM in the 6230 - well if the phone is from Orange it will be locked to their network, so unfortunately you will need get it unlocked. Hope this helps.

cheers

Andy. :lol:

I can unlock your 6230 via email if you are stuck (quick freebie).... and if the worst comes to the worst...

The C500 can be done online to accept your Virgin SIM... Costs £20

If you need the link for this LMK :lol:
