hi all ive recently acquired a 8230 locked to orange. Ive been reading up about unlocking this piece of kit. The only problem is that i thought i would try an orange sim card in to make sure the kit works in its natural state before i unlock it. When i tried to make a call from the phone with an orange sim card from my mates phone it came up with an error message of some sort "call failed".... tried a few numbers etc with the same result. Is this phone blocked? and what would be the next step you guys would take with the kit. If i tried to open up to other networks would it still be blocked or what. i havnt paid for the phone yet, thought it was too cheap £40 to be a good bargain. thnks for all on this forum for the help im glad to be part of the family here on dw.
