There is an easy way to get the SPV working on all four networks such as Orange, O2, Vodafone and T-mobile. The phone comes as triband (GSM 900/1800/1900) so this is how to get any sim network working on the SPV:-
1.) Insert the power adapter that was received with the SPV into the phone
2.) Remove the Battery and notice that the phone does NOT turn off
3.) Remove the Orange SIM and replace it with the Other network SIM
4.) Replace the battery and remove the power adapter.
Now in about 2 minutes the phone should switch from Orange to the new network. If it does'nt, then make sure you check that
Programs->Settings->Telephony->Networks-> and put the network on AUTOMATIC.
This should be pretty simple. Remember that when you turn the phone off, it will still be blocked so you will need to do the entire process again.
So you see it requires the Orange SIM in first place and after turning the phone off you will need to repeat the whole procedure again.
The only permanent and legal way to unlock the Orange SPV is to buy an unlock code from the Orange, the code that depends on the IMEI number of the phone. | |

Yeah you are right, just used the wrong words saying the legal way because then people think that what I am writing is illegal. I just wanted to let others know that the 'proper', 'complete' or 'legitimate' way to do it is through Orange. | |
