Swampy442 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Is there some sort of technical reason why the sim from an Iphone 3gs on Orange wont work in an unlocked Sony phone? The phone turns on, recognises the network then says invalid sim and shuts down. Its fine with O2and T mobile. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I have found that some orange sim cards only seem to work in the phone they were sold with Not in my experience. I have used the same sim in a Sony Ericcson W800, Sony Ericcson P800 (both locked to Orange) and in an iPhone jailbroken and unlocked to any network. with no problem. The iphone sim may however have some cleverness in it, that prevents use in another phone, but I'd be surprised ... Have you a mate with another phone you can try your sim in ?
