Where did you get it..? Sounds like it may have been blacklisted on
Orange. Either that or the 1800 MHz RF section is fried (Voda is 900). Try
another Orange or T-Mobile SIM in it.

Either way it's not economical to do anything with it, it's too old a
phone. Pity really, as the 6150 was the best phone of its class in its
day, but that day is unfortunately long gone. If you really want a 6150,
you might find one on ebay, but beware of the pitfalls of buying phones
there.
