You can't use the phone with another SIM card, because it it most likely locked to Orange. Check the service menu for software/locks.
If you unlock it, you most likely will incure the wrath of Orange.

Keep the phone. If they block it, sell it to someone European on ebay. The amount of horror stories I've heard about operators not letting unhappy people out of their contracts... Well now the shoes on the other foot. :-* This message was posted from a WAP device
