I've grabbed a 6230i off a colleague who upgraded their phone.
T Mobile specific.
Managed to get it unlocked.
I can see all the settings.
I can see my numbers on the Orange SIM inserted.

Can't get reception.

Anyone know if I have to Force it to choose Orange network or whether I'm just being stoopid?

I'd appreciate the help

No message - Phone accepts all key presses. Can turn on and off no problem.
Just no reception.
When I enter phone settings (Network selection) and change from automatic to manual it searches for ages and can't find a signal.
Message reads - No network found.

Wierd as the phone was working 3 days ago.

Now that's strange.
Get hold of a T-Mobile SIM ans see if it works.


How to Check If Your Phone is Blacklisted!!
Different networks blacklist handsets in different ways:

You could make a call to the Service Provider.

It could be reported stollen.
Nothing more to do.


How to Check If Your Phone is Blacklisted!!
Different networks blacklist handsets in different ways:


Orange & O2:
If you place an active orange or
O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you
phone will not show any signal strength
at all! If the handset is a Nokia then a
"SIM card registration failed" message
will also be displayed. For most other manufacturers
the handset will simply show no signal!

Vodafone & T-Mobile
If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!

It's what I suspected.

I'll have to get onto T-Mobile or Orange to see if they can un-blacklist the phone!

Thanks very much

I think you will have to prove you are the rightful owner.
