Guest jstephanov Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Hi all, About a week ago I got an Orange locked C500 from the UK on EBAY and have spent the entire week looking for ways to unlock it for the USA (where I live). I've read all the posts and tried everything, but my problem is that I have to decert (application unlock) before unlocking, but I can't decert since I don't have the original Orange SIM card and the farthest I can get is after I start the phone it says INVALID SIM (if there's no sim) or NETWORK LOCKED ENTER UNLOCK CODE (if I put a Cingular SIM card). I tried resetting to original settings, but that didn't help much. Does anybody have any suggestion? Should I reinstall Windows Mobile 2003 and if yes, how do I do that? HELPPPP!!!! :shock: :) Thanks! CHeers! J.
Guest cdaisy Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 you need to get an orange sim, whould be able to pick one up of ebay for pennies
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Actually you can just write the Orange guys an e-mail, saying you cannot software unlock your phone via the OTA site. They will then send you an unlock tool! The e-mail addy is: [email protected] EDIT: Remember to include your imei number in the e-mail!
Guest jstephanov Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 IT WORKED!!!! The guys at Orange are REALLY nice, they just sent me the unlock code :)
