i bought it off ebay so i couldn't try it
I did complain to the woman and she said it worked fine with her on orange, but she never tried any other network and i don't like orange i am on O2 and it won't work
I did put an orange sim card in the phone and it works great, so she wasn't ripping me off

The phone works fine with orange, you are only creating a problem because you are being fussy wanting a vodafone sim in it. There all the same you can still recieve and make calls.:roll:

I agree 100% with u on that 1
I had an orange phone once for about 10mins and took it back to the shop coz i couldn't get a signal

I know nothing about unlocking phones, this website makes it look so easy.
Hope it helps.:D

some wifie, she has 100% feedback and she did offer me my money back or money towards getting it unlocked again, so thats good
I got an orange sim card this morning and got it registered so the phone works perfect on orange but where we live i can't get a signal, so i am hoping to get it unlocked and go back to O2
Orange does the free 300 free msg's now as well and the more money u top up at a time the more free msg's u get, i didn't know that!!!
But the signal is rubbish, if it was fine i would just stay with orange

Once again caught on EBay, as I said before on this thread "Bin It" how much time, and maybe some more money has this cost you? get rid and buy a new one they are not that expensive now depending on what you want.
