Hi Spinny, I'm not sure if this is right but I think the prophet is not a 3G phone ( which uses the UMTS connection) but is a 2G phone running on GSM. Your phone is probably unlocked and able to use sims from T mobile ,Orange ,O2 and Vodafone etc.
As far as I know , 3G phones run on UMTS when there is an available connection but will switch to GSM when the UMTS not available. Therefore it connects to your Orange network and works but you will be getting billed by 3 network and you wouldn't be able to use video calling.Hope that helps. There is a lot of info here too http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=456&view=1
Help!! I have a Kaiser through O2 UK which is known as an O2 XDA Stellar. I didn't actually use the phone much yesterday but did send my boyfriend a text at about 1.30 which he got. When I later checked my phone at about 7pm, I noticed that it had no reception so just turned it off and on again - when the Windows Mobile screen came up, I then got an error box saying "Phone not allowed mm #6". I restarted again and soft reset a few times, but no luck. I then thought that I might as well do a hard reset...that worked fine but still getting the error message and no reception!
Decided to ring o2 who were very helpful (bless them!) and got me to do all the stuff I had already tried...no reception and still the same error. I then tried a vodafone and orange sim in my phone which both worked no error!! A ha we all thought - it must be the sim!...Off I trundle at 8pm last night to our local shopping centre to pick up a new sim...got sim back, put it in phone wait for it to be activated and then the same error and no reception!! Both o2 sims work in another phone :-( Have no decided that my phone hates o2 sims for some reason :-( Have phone O2 this morning and they need to send my phone off to be repaired...I can have another phone from o2 on loan if i pay a deposit!...
Does anyone know of anything I can try before I resort to sending my baby off to some far away o2 land??? :-(

Hi,
I have a g3 O2 XDA Mini S (bought of ebay unlocked sim free) and after some flashing and unlocking I've popped in my SIMs from Orange and O2 and neither can find the network. Other phones can so it's not a reception issue. I started on O2 wm5, followed the g3 guide with Button then Tmob. Then to Diamond and back to tmob and then up to slim v3. I put the sim in then (it's in my other phone hence why it wasn't in during the flashing) and it couldn't find a signal. I downgraded back to the base O2 incase it had locked itself but that can't see an O2 payg SIM either. Using the lokiwiz0.3a I got a garbled sim unlock code so it looks like it is still unlocked. Any ideas??! I've searched but there are so many threads to go through with ambiguous titles..
Thanks!
I bought an Orange branded TyTn II last week from CEX in excellent condition for £90. I used to have the Vario III variant but always preferred the sleeker look of the HTC variant.
It had WM6.1 on already so i ran the HardSPL and SIM/CID unlocked the device. Everything was fine and all was well, put in my o2 sim to check it was unlocked. The following day i flashed the Shaps WM6 Pro 4.30 WWE ROM and everything was fine again. Put my sim in and used it for texts, installed Tomtom 7 etc, HSDPA and net is all working ok on it and so is the GPS for Tomtom.
I recieved a phonecall but when i answered it it was dead, completely silent. They couldn't hear me either so i'm wondering if there's a solution to this?
Do i need to update the radio rom?
I'd not made a call on it until after i flashed the rom so cant guarantee it worked before hand although i'm sure CEX would have checked it before putting it for sale.
Any help greatly appreciated, cheers

Yes, you need to re-flash the Radio ROM.
Please post any further problems in the flashing guide by mskip.

Hi all,
Just seeking some help, I've recently got a HTC Mozart and I've upgraded it to unlocked Mango. Problem is I bought it locked to Orange UK and I'm with Vodafone. I've just today got an unlock code and it's worked in accepting the SIM card but there is no signal and I can't call anyone. My contacts and messages have come up though.
Any ideas of what the issue could be?
Thanks for Looking.
Have you tried using the connection manager to switch it over to Vodafone?
Yes, I've switched it to Vodafone Contract on connection manager. I've rang vodafone to see if they are maybe blocking the signal as it's a new phone but because the sim works in my old phone they say it's 100% a problem with the phone.
Could it be that I typed in the code after I had upgraded to custom unlocked mango ROM?
And also I hear you have to type the unlock code twice on orange phones but I can't type it in again, there's no option to.
This phone was bought less than a week ago, I can and am considering returning it. I've rang HTC and they think it's a problem with the handset.
I too just got this phone like you, from orange, had it unlocked and have come to the conclusion it just doesn't work on vodafone.
When I did a search for networks on the phone tmobile, orange and 3 uk all came up but not vodafone. I also tried my 3 uk sim and it worked fine. i'm now back on my blackberry as it's the only phone i have which will work with the vodafone sim.
the phone i am keeping. vodafone i am not.
Thanks Livett, that's what I was thinking I tried a t-mobile sim and it worked fine. I think I'm going to change it for an Omnia 7 as I've still got a couple of months of my contract left and my other phone is a £10 vodafone branded phone. Worst phone I've ever experienced. I won't be staying with vodafone though.
Hi, I just thought i'd give you an update.
I updated to Mango last night on this phone and managed to get the sim working. It flits between Edge, HSPA and GPRS connections. Do Vodafone even have 3G? Either way it doesn't work, it's atrocious. I managed to send a text to myself on HSPA, recieved it, picked up the handset and then the signal dropped.
I think it's safe to assume Vodafone does work on this phone as it's unlocked, it's just Vodafone is so **** at coverage it's not even worth it.
Thanks.
