Permanent Non-Orange network on SPV

[Guest cpt_andy]

When fiddling with unlocking my phone to use my T-mobile SIM I seem to have it (almost) permanently switched over. I did the "battery trick" to get it temporarily working, switched off then swapped the Orange SIM back in. I held down record when powering on and went to the 3 colour screen. I then turned it on, and when it loaded - "One2One" was displayed on the Home page and a quick 150 confirmed it was using my T-Mobile account. The phone can now be turned off and on, with the Orange SIM in place, but connecting to T-Mobile.

I have yet to see how long this will last for.

Note1: My Orange SIM is an expired SIM that displays Network Denied normally. I don't know if this works with fully working Orange SIMs.

Note2: The SPV displays the roaming triangle on the Home page when connected to T-Mobile with the Orange SIM. I'm not sure of the significance of this.

Note3: I first noticed this when I did the software certificate unlock - I'm not sure if this is a necessary step.

Note4: When I had this setup working, I tried putting the T-Mobile SIM into my old phone. This caused the SPV to not be able to connect, and on the next restart I was back to the "Network Denied" message (what I would normally expect from this Orange SIM).

Could someone else please have a go as I would be interested in the exact procedure necessary to do this.

Good Luck

Check your T-Mobile bill and be sure you're not paying roaming charges.

To check dial 150 Option 1, Option 2, Option 1
