I have an iPhone 3GS on the UK O2 network.

O2 have recently unlocked the unit for me and sent an SMS confirming.

I have place my French Orange sim in the unit and I get "Invalid Sim"

What do I need to do to get the unit to work with this sim card ?

Sorted out:

O2 now are unlocking contracted iPhones free of charge.

Call 202 from your O2 iPhone and ask them to do it.

They will send an SMS a few days later confirming unlocked.

Then you need to:

Back up via iTunes (Right Click on the unit on iTunes)

Restore via iTunes (Main iTunes window - Not with the back up)

Restore Back Up via iTunes (Right Click on the unit on iTunes)

Test with an alternative sim card.

Bingo !
