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 heart0 -
Well, there is an offer I can't refuse
