Brothers & Sisters :),

I am travelling abroad for the next 2 months, I want to unlock my D500 currently on Orange network..so i can use a local pay as you go sim on that, I was told that i cannot use any Sim even when abroad on orange phones :mad: , i have searched this thread and and tried the trick but nothing working :mad: , tried all forums no luck.....Again i know to unlock by paying 10-15 £ but since me being a MSE member I wanna it free :D:p

    If that doesn't work you have 3 options:

    1. If your D500 was manufactured roughly before Jan 2005
    Remove the sim power on and enter the code #*7337#
    This works on a few D500.

    2. Buy a D500 unlocking clip from ebay for about £15 + P&P then resell.

    Unlocking Instructions

    *Power Phone Off (no sim inserted)
    *Connect Clip & Power on phone
    *Phone Displays TAT MODE
    *Wait for TAT mode to disappear and phone to turn on
    *Phone Now Unlocked And Ready To Use Any 2G Sim

    Note: Orange D500's cannot use 02 network once unlocked due to error in Orange firmware. Phone Needs To Be Flashed to Correct This Error (You need D500 Flash & Debrand Pack).

    3. Bring it to me in Edinburgh and i'll do it free out of the goodness of my heart :)
  • Well, there is an offer I can't refuse ;)
