S710 with a Three SIM card

[Exzes]

Hey guys,

My girlfriend bought a s710, and is on the UK Three network.

The phone is meant to be SIM free, and works fine with my Orange SIM card in, but not her Three SIM card. It says the card in not valid.

Any ideas? Is the s710 not capable of using the SIM card?

if the unit is branded htc then its sim free 100 %

if its branded orange spv e650 then its locked to orange uk
and then ur job will to ask orange uk for unlock code or to unlock it via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/e650unlock.php


gd luck

Cheers Motin.

It's branded HTC, bought from www.handtec.co.uk as a SIM free, but still refuses to accept her SIM card at all.

u should make sure all sim cards are clean from scratch

if they are u r off to send it back to htc for replace there should not be any problem with the unit and it should except any sim card


thanks

I don't know but I thought three was only a 3G operator? And the S710 is not a 3G phone. could that not be the problem?

[motin]

i can only confirm to you i am using an orang 3g sim card on my htc -s710 and i have now tried 2 more sim cards that are 2.5 generation and all working 100 %


thanks

Yes but if it is as I think that tree only has a 3G network the phone won't work there since it is not supporting 3G?

[motin]

now i fully understand you

my dear the 3 network is only 3g so any sim from 3 network will work only on a 3g phone !!!

thanks
