Will I be charged extra if I use Mtel sim card (I have gotten it in this country) with a Vodafone ROM? From what I have seen Mtel has been bought by Vodafone (or it has been a part of Vodafone all along) but I don't know if it will cause higher bills.
Edit: Mtel is partnered with Vodafone. Not owned by.

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?
htc-s710
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.
htc-s710
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?
htc-s710
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?
htc - s710
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
Hi,
I figured out that my wife phone rings the same melody regardless of the caller becouse her phone shows as roaming all the time. She has Vodaphone branded phone (unlocked) and using on Cingular network here while having old ATT Wireless card. This was not an issue with other phones she used before neither is with my Qtek 9100. Any ideas?
so her phone roams so uses the roaming tone? why does her phone roam when you are in your country?
I have no idea. It's Vodaphone branded phone and she hasl Cingular SIM card.
have you asked att/cingular about it?
Asked in forums and people suggested becouse it's European Vodafone branded phone, not sure if ATT will support this configuration
hmm. i have a voda 750v from the UK but i don't roam when i'm in my country. i'm in the philippines.
also my phone is not supported by my telco as well but when i had problems with my sim card they still helped me out. the treo was not liking my telco's new 3g sim it took them 3 days to find the phased out 64k SIM that did work. try cs u might get lucky
I have given my girlfriend my unlocked Treo 750v (I had 2) and we are trying to determine if she can buy a Softbank (aka Vodafone Japan) SIM card IN Japan and use the 750v IN Japan on the Softbank network.
We know that my UK Vodafone 750v roams successfully on the Japan network but what we don't know is if Japan SIM cards contain anything "unusual" that her Treo would not recognise.
Any thoughts?

Number of questions...
I currently live in the UK and use the following mobiles the MDA Compact IV and the Samsung U900 soul as my back up phone (both currently locked to T-Mobile). I am about to move to Dubai and would like to know:::
1) Will these phones work over there... really confirm what I think (IE they will provided they are unlocked).
2) Does T-Mobile operate over there? If not what service providers are there and how competitive are they? I benefit from being on an employees tariff with T-Mobile at the moment.
3) Does anyone want to buy a T-Mobile branded Athena with the AP4.0 Rom?

I think GSM and CDMA standard here is same as Europe. There are only 2 operators, Etisalat and Du.
Du is just new and has some coverage problem so you may want to go with Etisalat.
I have been here 2 years and I am not impressed by bought Etisalat and Du.
WCDMA is umts
CDMA is a 2g phone std. that America and few others use that don't use sim cards
don't believe Dubai use CDMA
Hey all,
I received this beautiful samsung flip phone designed inspired from yesteryear as a gift from a good mate in China:
http://www.samsung.com/cn/smartphones/samsung-w2017/SM-W2017ZKYCTC/ [use Google Translate - see specifications more for supported GSM bands (a lot of them are AU compatible) but then goes to say phone only works in China, Macao, HK and Taiwan!]
I'm in Australia but I'm finding that out of the two SIM CARD slots. Slot 1 (4G LTE) does not work and a message pops up saying 'It's detected that your inserted card doesn't match the terminal. Please replace it with a China Telecom 4G user card in time'. Slot 2 works fine (but only 2G service!!) which is pretty useless.
Any chance any of you can point me to a solution? My friend tells me the store never provided any prior notice that the phone was locked to the China Telecom telco, simple the GSM frequency bands. Are there any XDA guru's who can cook an unlocked ROM for this phone as it's only released/sold out of China...
Any help, greatly appreciated - would hate to send this back!!!!
Anybody....? Really lovin' this phone, but would be AWESOME if anyone can help me unlock it's 3G/4G SIM Slot 1! I've been liaising with this sim-unlock.net site, are they trustworthy and can do the job? Clearly told them phone is not asking for any unlock code, just doesn't accept non-China Telecom SIM cards for sim slot 1.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately I don't know of anyway to carrier unlock samsung phones without either going to the original carrier or a third party unlocking service. The second sim for 2g is normal in china, they have one sim for calls (2g) and one for data (4g)
Regards
Sawdoctor
Any third party unlocking service that you know will do the job? I really need to get the 4g slot working to make the phone worhtwhile using!
