I would speak to your service provider as this sim sounds like it needs to be activated.

the sim is no use to me, i got the phone from a friend who says the phone itself may be blocked, any ideas?
Thanks for the quick reply

no worries...welcome to esato
if the imei code has been blocked then you won't be able to use until unblocked.
My phone number was blocked a couple of weeks ago by mistake and had to get my service provider to unblock it (their mistake in the first place) and instead of confirming my service provider it said 'inactive sim'. can you try another sim from a mates phone, providing you use an orange sim,if the phones ok ,it will work. If the phone still doesn't work and you know you have a good sim in it then you will have to look into having it unblocked.

i tried using a different orange sim and it still displays "sim inactive" so im gusing it will need un-blocking, do you know the usual charge for phone un-blocking?
Thanks for the help

I't might be illegal if the phone is blocked.

Agree^^^^ I was getting to that next
It would be illegal if the phone was stolen as it would've been blocked when someone reported it missing.
My daughters t610 was recently stolen and i had the phones imei blocked rendering it useless, (unless the culprit found somewhere to get it unblocked).
So the next thing really is to check the source of the phone. If all above board then you can speak to orange and get them to unblock it. If it isn't then you have a problem.

may be there is a sim lock and the phone may accept only one sim.

What do SE phones say for SIM locked phones.
Over here in Australia Vodafone used to SIM Lock their phones so you could only use that one SIM.
Could it be that?

Could be, my first thoughts were it was a sim problem too. I can't speak for orange but I'm on vodaphone. I gave my T610 to my daughter and we put a pay as you go sim straight in with no problems.
