nokia 3310 sim card prob

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

Clear Dayi have recently bought a second hand 3310 which i was assured was
unlocked to all networks however when i put myVirgin sim card in and switch
the phone on i am getting the message 'sim card not accepted'. It also does
the same with a Orange sim card, I bought this from a friend who i cannot
contact for a while so any help would be gratefully accepted.
thanks

No, the 3310 is dual band so it'll work on all UK networks except 3. As for
unlocking it, have a look at www.unlockme.co.uk
