It's a 6210 - it is not 900Mhz only.

Maybe it has a fault that only effects 1800MHz.

To email me remove the letter vee.

I've concluded that it must be faulty on 1800Mhz as Steve suggested. If it
were lost/stolen there shouldnt be connectivity on Voda and O2.
The seller has agreed to have it back so watch out if buying a 6210 on eBay
next week!

Purchased an old Nokia on eBay a few weeks ago and been using it with
a Vodafone SIM with no problems. When I insert an Orange SIM I get
signal for a few seconds and then it disappears. Selecting 'Orange' on
a manual network search gives a 'No Access' message.

Thought there was something funny happening with Orange but I've since
tested all networks and am thinking the handset has possibly been
reported stolen:
O2 and Vodafone - No problems, will register and make/receive calls
Orange and T-Mobile - Brief registration with good signal and then
signal goes. Manual search gives 'No Access'.

If the IMEI was barred surely I shouldn't be able to make calls using
O2 and Voda?

Does it sound like the IMEI is barred or something else? If so, any
way I can get this bar lifted...not sure I'll have much luck, but
might try ringing Orange in the morning...


Orange are a bit extrapolative on their interpretation of blocking stolen
phones. As far as Orange are concern, if there is a billing dispute they
block the phone.

I'd run free unlocker codes into it first just to make sure it is fully
unlocked

I don't understand how it would be unlocked on 900 but not 1800Mhz, though?

I also don't know what network I should pick for the unlocking? It seems to
be accepting all SIMs...

Thanks

then the nhandset has been lost or stolen and there is no way you can
get that unlocked.

Or pop up Superdrug and get a new phone for £10

No need, you've managed to buy a single band GSM900 handset. Ain't ever gonna
work on Orange or T-mobile (which use GSM1800) I'm afraid.

If that was the case, 'Orange' wouldn't appear on a manual network search.

You don't know what network it was originally on?
That's a problem, code generation depends on knowing which it was on
give it your best guess

It's unlikely but an outside chance that it's been only partially unlocked
A selection of levels of unlock codes are available

Follow the procedures on those online code generating sites i listed for a
full unlock
