Your phone may say unlocked but you need to put a diff network sim in it to be sure, I had to put 2 codes in my phone (different phone) and after each code it said unlocked, but only after the second code did the new sim work.
Will give it a try today (borrow off someone's sim) and report back.0 -

ALL Orange phones are locked to the Orange network. Orange have to accept a request to unlock your phone so you can use it on another network, however they are allowed to charge an "admin" fee (set at £20).
The Treo 600 is an older phone, so there will be unlock codes floating around on the internet (like those links provided). If that fails I'm sure there are shops and/or market stalls that will be able to unlock for less than £20."An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" - Mahatma Gandhi0
