Hello,
I normally live in Germany, and use a pre-paid Vodafone SIM in my XDA there. I am in France for a while, and because my SIM is pre-paid there is no global roaming. So I bought a local pre-paid SIM, but it doesn't work in my XDA, can't find a network. But the new SIM works fine in my friend's Nokia... And my XDA is not locked, it was locked to O2 when I bought it but I used the tool from this site to unlock it...
Does anyone have any idea why it can't find a network, even though the SIM works in a Nokia? I thought maybe the band switching tool could be useful, but I think Germany and France use the same band so that won't make any difference... Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Suzie
