> Orange sim card crashing my phone?
Bookmark topic
I recently moved back from O2 to Orange and bought again my old fave phone the K800i sim free from Carphone. Now whats strange is that whenever i use other network sims in the phone its fine. But when i use my Orange sim in it the phone seems to crash alot and the screen goes white during a call or on the net. Does anyone know why this might be and why this only happens with Orange sim card? Does Orange use more powerful network which can crash a phone i am confused? Sometimes also the screen flicks slightly upwards too. Its nothing major i can live with it as its not all the time. It never did this with Vodafone or O2 sim cards. Help.

I have tried new sim but it still does it. Why would Orange network sim do this but no other networks its strange? Also it is a sim free handset.

Well I have heard that the orange sim makes the phone have a "welcome to oragne" popup on startup. Maybe your phone is crashing because of that?

I have no idea but all I know is it happens at random but never once did it with other network sim cards. It is very confusing.

it'll be due to the fact it's a new profile sim card, that your K800i can't deal with, I take it your sim isn't a usim? you don't get 3G signal on your phone? if so, get on the blower to orange, tell them you are using a K800i and need a 3G usim...

Yeah your right its not a 3G sim cheers for that. Also Reg dont know if its affected you on Orange but all this weekend & still today the whole Orange network for intenet has not been working. I rang Orange & they said they had a huge outage thats affected alot of customers.

Didn't affect me at all, I'd be a bit snookered if the net goes down as my BB wouldn't work and lord knows it's been working fine!
All depends on where you are in the country, most of the South of England is served by the GPRS node in Brizzle, there's another one up North but I don't know where as it's never affected me!
but a 3G usim should see you straight! I just hope your on just talk and not pay monthly, as getting a usim from the pay monthly peeps is nie on impossible!

Just heard its only pay as you go customers affected by the outage. Its Global Orange said to me but will be fixed by tonight but its been going on for 4 days now. Annoying cos i check my email on the move alot but i never seen Orange wth such a huge outage
