Locked or not - Wizard on Orange

[rossmc]

I have just got an o2 mini s (HTC Wizard) from work. When trying to use my Orange sim card in it the phone will boot and I can make/receive normal calls.

When trying to send SMS or change the Phone settings I get the message: "Phone is not ready please wait 15 seconds" continually.

Does this indicate that the phone is locked to o2 or not and needs an unlock code - or anyone have any other ideas?

I have tried googling/searching for similar issues on Orange with the Wizard but there doesn't appear to be a clear answer.

Thanks.

No this does not indicate anything. I had this problem before.

Try this::
Go to comm manager and turn on flight mode and then turn it right back off. Wait untill your phone re-acquires a signal and then try sending a text again.

That does not seem to clear it.

Hmmm. That worked for me. Try using lokiwiz ver.02b to sim unlock the device and then look for network wizard to configure the network settings to your new carrier.
