O2 XDA Mini S - works on Orange!

[Tomtooter]

Phoned Orange today & they don't even have the Wizard in the pipeline.

Bought an O2 XDA Mini S thought I'd try unlocking it to work on Orange (ONLY Orange works in my Business Unit).

Expected to be searching/asking this Forum for help; was SHOCKED when I simply plugged in my Orange SIM & it worked!

All O2 contract phones are unlocked. They've been like this for quite some time.

Not true! My P800 was unlocked, and I was told that was the case, but my Blue Angel (XDA2s) only worked on 02 without unlocking.

I stand corrected then. Although, IME, any phone I've had from them over the past few years has been unlocked as have those of my friends who are on O2.

Yeah, same here. 02 are usually excellent with not filling phones with crap software and leaving them unlocked, which is why I was so amazed with the Blue Angel!

O2 is amazing,my first 6630 and N70 was no simlock as well as my later XDA EXEC.Besides,they provide free GPRS...that's invaluable...
