When I ve put an O2 SIM into my Orange phone (old and not on contract) it asks for a network code whats that?

I believe it means your phone is locked to the Orange network. Orange will give you a code for £20 to £30. Local market stall will unlock for about a fiver and if you are lucky it will cost nothing (MSE has individuals that will advise the unlock codes for most Nokias etc).

It means that your Orange phone is locked to the Orange network and you will need an unlock code before you can use the 02 sim in it.

Sorry I have posted what others have said but when I checked no-one had replied (must be something to do with the slowdown/changing of servers)

Before paying anyone to unlock the phone, check it is suitable for the GSM900 networks. Some old orange phones were not dual band so you could only use them on GSM 1800 networks.

Once you are certain the phone is dual band, check out this thread for non-Nokia phones or use this thread for information on how to unlock Nokia phones for free.

You Orange phone is locked to Orange -ie, you can not use another network's sim unless you unlock the phone. What make/model is it?

Its an old samsung that I use to get my 3000 free evening and weekend texts.Its abit annoying because when I changed from contract to pay as you go my later model samsung wouldn't take my pay as you go sim so I reverted back to my old old phone and have now given other one to boyfriend who payed to get it unlocked. Just assumed this one wasn't locked! Have another contract phone for t mobile but it might get a bit confusing with all these phones and sims thanks anyway!

Being totally stupid here, and too lazy to look back the 18 pages of this thread, but how long do you get the free bolt-ons for? Can this be used alongside the free 300 texts or texts/calls? Thanks.

Lazy !!!!!!, I know what you mean though about 18 pages. It's not so much the reading more the time to download 18 pages even on a 2MB link. Martin should ask his techies to add a 'download thread' to any threads over 3 or 4 pages. That way it would all be available to read on a (local) single page.

Free bolt on is for 3 months, must be started before early Jan.

Don't know about using it with free texts etc.

You can change your settings in your UserCP (control panel) on the beige bar so you can view 40 posts per page. This thread is only 5 pages for me.
