phone not ready error?

[mad_sunday]

Hi,

I am trying to use an O2 xda mini s with the Orange network.

I have sim unlocked the phone but not cid unlocked it. (trying to do it as easy as poss)

With the sim card installed the phone connects to Orange and I can make/receive calls without problems.

When I try to send SMS messages I get a "phone not ready, wait 15secs and try again" error.

Do I HAVE to cid unlock the phone or is there an easier fix?

Regards, Pete.

Radio/GSM has got nothing to do with CID lock/unlocking. Receiving/sending calls or sending SMS is the feature of Radio/GSM part of the phone,whereas,CID is unlocked for upgrading to other Rom (OS) other than official.
Perhaps,as you have got SIM unlocked and using Orange network SIM,you require GPRS/network settings from Orange or search the 'Network' forum for Orange GPRS/network settings.

Fixed!

Loaded the T Mobile rom and all seems fine.
