Samsung E250 limited service on Orange

shere1

I got a Samsung E250 on Virgin network. I got the unlock codes from Virgin and the handset is unlocked. I can use Vodafone and O2 sim cards in it.

However with one particular Orange Sim card I can only get limited service. The same Orange sim card works fine in other unlocked handsets I have (C300, E900, D520).

I have phoned Orange and they did not have a clue and have said they will escalate the problem to senior technical staff.

Any experts on the forum know what could be causing the problems ?

More than likely it is a faulty simcard. I had a Vodafone sim which would not work in my nokia but worked in other phones ("insert-sim" msg). Eventually the sim died so it would not work in any phone so had to be replaced!
