Hi,

I purchase a 2 X I9+ phone from China, and they won't connect to any network.

I contacted the supplier who said it needs a 2G SIM CARD to work.

I have now tried the phone with a 02 2G sim card and it still fails to connect... error shows INVALID SIM...

On one occasion it showed the 02 Network during startup, but them changed to INVALID SIM

I have reasearched this Phone on the web, and found a various codes, which may help

Phone 1
*#06# - Shows IMEI Number as
IMEI: 353954012330140
IMEISV:78
(However the label on the inside of the phone shows a totally different IMEI number IMEI:357020013700382)

*#8375# Show Software Version as
[VERSION]
PX-XS2501-DT-2009112-00
[BRANCH]:GEMINI
BUILD:BUILD_NO
SERIAL#:2501050109

Phone2
*#06# - Shows IMEI Number as
IMEI: 353954012330140 (Which is the same as Phone 1 above !!)
IMEISV:78
(However the label on he inside of the phone shows a totally different IMEI number IMEI:357020013700391 - This is also different to Phone 1, surely the chineese carn't think having a different IMEI number on the label will make the phone unique)

*#8375# Show Software Version as
[VERSION]
PX-XS2501-DT-2009112-00
[BRANCH]:GEMINI
BUILD:BUILD_NO
SERIAL#:2501060136

Any advise would be appreciated

Thank you
Stephen
