Unlocking phone from Vodaphone

[Anonymous]

Hi all - you helped me so much before when I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Ace phone - by the way I took all your advice and sent the phone back to O2 for a refund. Hope you can help me again please. I have a Galaxy S1 that was locked to Vodaphone, have had it unlocked, put in my old sim. The phone seems to be reading the card but it will not let me make calls, just says Emergency Calls only. I am on Pay as you Go Go so should be able to use it. Info just comes up 'Network not available'. Any help from you guys would be really appreciated. Thanks

Did you get any set up messages when you inserted the o2 sim card ?

You may need to enter O2's network settings onto it.

At the moment Vodaphones settings may still be on it.

APN's are here : http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/chapter/595-04-how-to-set-apn-settings-for-the-02-mobile-network

APN's are only applicable to data - Voice is directly off the SIM card, which apparently it is showing as been recognised by O2 on the screen.....
It a strange one but we need to know if the phone will work with a different SIM card.....?
