A800 o2 problem - GSM-Forum

Mark0025 · 09-30-2003, 20:45

I have an A800 which works fine with any other sim card but when I put my O2 card in it doesnt work. I used to have it on o2 but had to get a new sim. When I turn it on it just says searching for ages then comes up no signal. Any other sim works fine.

Please can you help.

Thanks

You are not alone in this.
I have also come across the same problem.
I suspect it is a hardware issue in the handset, probably the antenna.
Possibly a dodgy batch???

Has anyone else come across this?

If I hear any more I'll let you know.

I Know i had this problem with another simcard. I used a traceprogram and i sent the file to Samsung ant they saw that the problem was in the software. So they sent me a new software..

The phone was on Virgin and I had it unlocked to o2. then went and lost the phone and had o2 cancel the sim. nI got a new sim but meanwile found the fone didnt I and the problems been their ever since. Virgin and Vodafone cards work fine in it.

Any suggestion

If you reported the handset lost/stolen, it should have been registered on the CEIR (Blacklist).

Once it has been logged on this, it wont work on any uk network.
Sometimes networks mess up and dont pass the info on to the ceir which may be why you can still use it on other networks..

Another thing that will bar you from using a handset on a network is a duplicate IMEI. If a network detects identical IMEI's on its system at the same time, it will barr them both. This info doesn't seem to be passed from network to network so again might be a reason while you can still use it on other networks.

Just change IMEI using PST 3.5

P.S. It is true what phones with same imei not works in same network???
I have many phones with same IMEI, but all of them works good in one network..
