Nokia :: 2680 Unlocked Handset Bought From Independent Provider Would Work On Any Network
Jan 21, 2010
I purchased an unlocked Nokia 2680 handset in the UK this month to replace a broken handset for my pay-as-you-go O2 sim card. I was told by the representative that the phone was tri-band and would work in the United States, where I live presently. I am emailing from the US where the phone does not work. It does not roam with my UK network (o2), nor will my AT&T sim card work in the phone (sim card registration failed).Any ideas? I thought an unlocked handset bought from an independent provider would work on any network??
I have a Orange Blackberry 9700 which I have had unlocked. The phone is unlocked and reads the T-mobile SIM card, however I am having no luck at all with email and data facilities on the Blackberry.I have contacted T-Mobile and they have attemepted to send the service books to me however they are not reaching me. They have been through a whole host of procedures to try and get the problem sorted including doing a security wipe and also restoring the email accounts, I have tried to send the service books to myself through the BIS website as well.
It seems odd that I can not connect to the Blackberry Wireless Network because I my device pin is recognised on the T-Mobile website. I have tried to register the device using Host Routing Table but still no joy.If you have any clue as to why I can not access data services then I would really appreciate some help. I do have my data plan enabled, I know sometimes this can be a reason why people have this problem.
Knowing the right way to pose this question is probably harder than answering it.I want to use an ATT Nokia 6750 phone in Mexico with cell provider Telcel. I have to unlock the phone. No problem. Lots of places in town will do that for a fee. I also want to buy Telcel's 3G service and use it on the same phone. A possibly uninformed Telcel agent says it's impossible because the phone has ATT's software not Telcel's. I suspect he is wrong.
Will an unlocked ATT phone with a Telcel SIM successfully connect to a 3G network OR is there some Telcel software gatekeeper to prevent this? Do you suppose he is just talking about the Access Point configuration? Any ideas? Partial answers are often helpful it you don't have the full answer.
So, I just bought a JB'en iphone 3g tonight.Went ahead and unlocked it using ultrasn0w.Connected it to my mac/itunes, and it asks "an iphone has been previously synced with this computer. setup as a new iphone -or- restore the backup of ***"So, since I had purchased apps using my *** phone (actually was an ipod touch that i got rid of), I'm thinking that I should restore the backup so that I can get my paid apps back for free.
Questions: -will restoring this backup to the new unlocked phone restore it to its original locked state (i.e. will i have to re-jailbreak/unlock)? or will it simply restore preferences, etc...? -otherwise, if i call this phone a new name, is there a way to transfer my purchased apps to the new phone's account?
I have just ordered my very frist ever blackberry anyway it is the new torch and it is unlocked and i have been assured that it will work fine with my (3 Australia network) and i manged to get 24 month australian warranty and i have changed my plan over already to ensure i get my bis + 1g(so it should be sweet).So hear is my QuestionsWhat problems can i expect with trying to get the phone to work and function properly? How do i get my bis account working? should i try and get the info i need of 3 now (to speed thing up on the day i get the phone) or do i need the torch in my hand?what else can i do now to make it easy on the day to get it going?
I recently purchased a Nokia 2730 in the UK. It was fitted with a pre-paid "3" network SIM card at the time of purchase. When our holiday was over I brought the phone back with me to Australia. I was told in the UK that this phone would work in Australia provided I fitted an Australian "3" network SIM card. Today, the new SIM card was fitted here in Australia but the phone still doesn't work. Any ideas would be very welcome - before I throw the phone in the garbage.
I am planning to buy lumia 900 and have really good opportunity to buy it on ebay from USA (friends living there would buy it). I have few questions:
1. what is the unlocking process? 2. will i be able to charge it ( i heard that there is sometimes a difference in voltage or smthing like that in USA and Europe) 3. also, will i be able to connect to wifi, GSM, 3G? 4. Are all mobile phone functionalities be able in Croatia?
Bought iPhone 4 on eBay as unlocked, but it does not work in Russia. Apple says it is locked but cannot tell me the carrier. How can I know the carrier.
i came a cross an interesting post unfortunately also with no solution. so i am starting a new thread because the old 1 had about 15 posts none of which were answered just more questions posed, so to business.i wondered why i could not get the new updates or why it did not show up, then i read several posts from people with phones that were bought unlocked for any network and they all had the same problem updates not showing up when there are updates to be had.
Im trying to change my network provider from orange to 3, (i have purchased unlocking code) but since putting in the hanset the phone loading bar will only go up so far, not completely to the end to load up phone. is there another way around unblocking the phone so it will accept other sim cards?
It's happened before..But then I factory resetted my phone and it seemed alright for a couple of months but it then started back again today.Suddenly at some places I lose network signal (i.e. from my provider) and obviously it should come back when I go somewhere or whatever.But this time it won't even connect. I've shut down my phone, taken out the battery, taken out the SIM card..EVERYTHING. And I just can't seem to connect back to my network provider. (This isn't WI-FI I'm talking about - just basic network. I can't recieve texts, or anything - and everyone one in my house's network is working perfectly fine!)My phone runs on the original launcher and I only have a couple of apps on it (i.e. just normal whatsapp etc. - NO GAMES)It has about 500MB of free space on the SD Card too.

My BlackBerry has no signal or connection to my network provider. I can't call, text, bbm or use the internet. I've had this phone for over a year and now its just all of sudden stopped working.
Recently got my hands on a unlocked 9630 from a Sprint buddy. Everything works browser, txt, MMS, calls, even my weather app. Just every time I try to log into Facebook, it tells me "Could not connect because a data service is not available. Please try again later. If this continues, contact your service provider for support".I came from a Tmo BB Curve so the service was already there. I re-registered on the BB network, resent the service books from the web and from my phone, did hard re-starts, went online to My Tmobile and updated the IMEI. I uninstalled the app from the phone, performed a hard reset, then reinstalled the app from the Blackberry App Store.
recently bought a 2680 slide for my daughter (her first phone).When she receives a call, the callers name is not displayed, just the word "call".All contacts have been keyed into the phone memory, nothing on the sim and no duplicates.
I have a Nokia 2680_s mobile phone. I have imported a "Tone" that I realize now is far too long,. as It took up 1.7 MB space. I now can't seem to Delete it. It was transferred using Blue tooth technology. Any clues on how to Delete it would be very much appreciated.

My network provider does not support data plans. However I use wi-fi to connect and download applications from Application world. But when I enable Wi-Fi, I can easyly browse over network, but BB application world does not work. After restart it works. So I need every time restart my device to make app world working again.
I have a Sony Ericsson Satio, and yesterday I changed my wallpaper to a picture of a good friend, however, the Network providers name is right in the center of their face and is ruining the wallpaper for me. Is there any way to remove the text 'T-Mobile' from the home screen? I remember it was possible in Samsung or Nokia, not sure which one.Any help greatly appreciated.
after some time (usualy like 1 to 2 hours) in powersaving mode and standby mode together . When I wake up the phone the phone suddenly doesnt have any connection. i have to put the phone in offline mode and back to normal/silent for it to connect back to the network. it seems only to happen while in standby mode with powersaving mode enabled.
We just switched our business account from Vodafone to O2 and got MEP unlock codes for all our phones. One of our Blackberry 9700 handsets is hardlocked. I obtained the unlock code from Vodafone but the user managed to put the MEP code in wrong too many times and now I get a message: "Enter Network MEP code (0 left)"I've tried resetting factory defaults as per Vodafone advice and updated to latest OS but still get the same message. Vodafone have basically now told me to contact RIM. Will RIM sort this and how much will it cost?
I bought a sprint blackberry bold 9650 through amazon, and I'm in Kenya. There is no sprint network In Kenya and I'm unable to use the Blackberry service and hashcodes through a local network provider, safaricom. I can make calls and sms. What should I do?
My phone was working properly. Then it went to a screen with the following message: "Configuration error. Please contact your network or service provider". The phone can receive incoming calls, but that is it. I have tried the update service. Result - Your phone has the latest software update.
Using the SE PC Suite, and connecting by using the USB cable, a list of folders is displayed which are empty. Using the "Phone Repair" from the SE PC Suite, and after following the instructions, the only result is - "Update Failed". Please can someone assist me in sorting out this problem?
I would like to use my E72 for business (Exchange) and private (Google email+calendar) purposes. While I can easily have 2 separate mailbox, it is a totally different story for calendars. I managed to get both sync'd (using MfE and googasync), but then all events are merged and mail google calendar events are uploaded to Exchange during the next sync (and vice-versa) which I don't want. Is there any way to keep those 2 calendars separated? Alternatively, is there a way to do only "unidirectional" (from server to phone) sync in Mail for Exchange?
