Hi
I have just had my BB curve 8310 on the Vodaphone network unlocked hoping for free sim choice. although the phone reports unlocked when I put my 3 sim in it does not see the network, it will allow 999 access but when searching for networks it only lists O2, Vodaphone,T mobile. infact when I switch it on the Vodaphone splash screen is displayed. My Q is this phone locked to vodaphone in any other way
regards

I believe that the Curve 8310 is a non-3G phone? In which case, it will not work with 3, who require the use of a 3G phone.

Yeah, the Curve 8310 is a 2g handset, it won't work on 3. They only allow 3g (and now 4g) devices to connect.0
