HTC Hero network troubles
Hey,
Bought a second hand htc hero locked to orange. It was previously on contract but has run out so i bought the handset. I put a brand new orange sim card in it, but its saying no network coverage, emergency call only.
Anyone have any ideas of whats wrong, i've googled it but there seems to be lots of mixed replies and problems?
May have to take it into the orange shop tomorrow, how helpful are they etc?

Best talking to someone in the shop, mate. If it was second hand there's no telling whether it's setup for contract-only, or if the previous owner made any modifications to the software on the phone.
One thing you could try is checking whether you can see the Orange network under Settings -> Wireless Networks -> Network Operators. It should take a second and then just show Orange. Might be in a different menu though, mine's running a custom ROM.

I bought it off 0rangepeel on here, and it was his old contract phone apparently lol. If it is blacklisted, is it possible to get it 'un-done'?
