Hello

I cannot connect to my mobile network.

I recently got a bb 8800 which has been unlocked to all networks (checked this all categories disabled when I type MEPD).

I have a sim card with three (network) but it won't connect to the mobile network just displays SOS in the top right corner.

I have tried restarting/taking out battery/changing sim/leaving for hours but nothing.

In manage connections it is set to orange when I try to scan for available networks it only displays orange, vodafone, O2 and t-mobile and all of these won't connect.

Please can someone advise me what to do I lost my old bb (and didn't have insurance silly me) so got a replacement sim from my network and managed to get this 8800 for a good price but that's no good if it's not connecting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Confirm if you have a 8800? Is your BB carrier branded? If so, which one

I can confirm it is a blackberry 8800 it is branded vodafone but I purchased it with the condition that it was unlocked to all networks.

There are times where i remember seeing the SOS, but eventually - in a few seconds - it connects to a network just fine. Could this be a SIM problem? I hope someone with a bit more knowledge responds soon. Sorry
