Hi!
I have a T68i, which I bought secondhand to replace the LCD. I did this fine, but when I put an Orange sim in the phone, it says 'invalid mobile' where the operator logo is, and makes 3 beeps if you try to make a call. It still shows signal bars though. Does this mean that the phone has been blocked? It will work fine with a Vodafone sim, makes calls and everything, no funny messages or anything. I always thought that if a phone got blocked, it was on all networks in that country, so what's happened with this phone? Oh, nearly forgot - the phone isn't locked, when going into the service menu, it shows everything as unlocked with the open padlock on it. Thanks!

Yep, the Orange sim still works, and has credit on it. I've made a call off it in a 3310 and it's appears fine!

Just tried a new search and also select network in the 'GSM networks' submenu in connect, and with no joy! The new search just kept searching and searching, and when I did a select network it simply said 'no network'

I bought a 2nd hamme T68i a while back. After a few weeks it displayed INVALID MOBILE whenever I had an O2 or Vodafone SIM in it. Worked OK on Orange, T-Mobile & Virgin. The reason being? I was told it was because it takes a while for a network to tell the other networks that the IMEI has been blocked. Lo and behold, it became locked on all networks after a few weeks!! Always buy your phones from a reputable source. This message was posted from a T610

The phone will be blacklisted. It may continue to work other networks though. This message was posted from a Nokia
