Call Orange. I believe they lock some devices for transit. They'll unlock it over the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest floatingcloud Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) for your problem, may be it is just a setting issue, you can open setting-nethering & network-mobilenetwork-open the data connection, then it will be ok.

Guest fr0do Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Call Orange. I believe they lock some devices for transit. They'll unlock it over the phone. Yes, a few people have had this problem. Orange said that they lock a few devices as some sort of security check. You just need to phone them to get it working.

Guest BLu3HaZe Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the info, good to know there is such locking, as I directly got mine shipped to my country without even getting opened in UK. Will have to be more careful when buying next time, lucky there weren't any such locks in mine. On a side note, can this "lock" be removed by unlocking to any SIM and/or flashing custom firmware?

Guest fr0do Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 It's just the Orange some that's locked. If you were to unlock the phone then any other sim should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks, so it's more like a network lock for the SIM? It being inactive until we call them. Now I've never used this SIM or even taken it out, should it work if I was to send it back to UK in a few months in any other phone than my SFII?
