Using ORANGE Sim Card in MDA Compact


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm really interested in purchasing the MDA Compact on T-Mobile but am hoping to use this PDA/Phone with my current Orange contract.

--> Is this possible?

--> If so, is it true that the settings on the MDA Compact will not work with any other network but a T-Mobile sim card?

--> Can anyone confirm that the unlock code given by http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ will work?

Cheers

If TMobile SIM lock their handsets, then you will need to get it unlocked before any SIM (ie. your orange sim) other than TMobile will work in it. You can reconfigure the settings to work with orange once the handset it unlocked (or before, but that would be a bit useless :lol:)

T-Mobile will give you the code, for £15, after you've been with them for a month (possible even sooner).

This has been covered in some depth recently, there are a few threads a page or two back that have all the info you seek.

Cheers ... thx a lot guys!

Sorry had to double-check cos when I spoke to the T-Mobile guys yest. they said it was a definite NO for unlocking the MDA Compact; as the settings are very specific (blah blah blah!) - but we will see if they confirm this the 2nd time round! :^o

S*crew TMobile - I used the imei check site and it worked a treat - its only £5 more than what you would have to Pay TMobile :lol:

Plus on this form (somewhere) is a link for a CAB file which contains all the settings for Orange.

By the way I now have a P900 and soon to be a P910 as a free upgrade from orange! Think ill just sell them on ebay :(

#-o Hello ...

I've just purchased the MDA Compact and am attempting to unlock it using the software supplied by the http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ website. However, an error message is coming up saying that the device is not recognised!

Has anyone else had this problem when unlocking their MDA Compact?

Thx

No worries ... dumbo me I held the wrong buttons down (RECORD + POWER instead of CAMERA + POWER --> oopsy!)

By the way ... the unlock website (mentioned above) works great and as promised!

Now for the good stuff ... where's the best place to go online for some good ol downloads, ie. useful applications, etc?

Cheers
