I'm trying to get a SIM card to work in the CCRT700. It's a new O2 PAYG SIM, I've put £10 on it, and its all activated according to O2.
The SIM has 24DTXTAN - Prepay Text Anytime 2G (4DM) on the back, so it's definately a GSM SIM and not 3G (also confirmed with O2) They also said its a dual-band SIM, so will work in single band phones (GSM900 or GSM1800 only).
When the SIM is inserted into the radio, it just sits there saying searching... and then goes back to the radio/cd (whichever was playing)
I've also gone through the Menu system of the phone as follows>>
Menu -> Network -> Pref. List -> View List
No O2 or BT CELLNET UK Listed, just a bunch of foreign German/French channels
I then go to>>
Menu -> Network -> Pref. List -> Add Network -> Nets on Air
The radio then displays 'Network request', and after a few seconds, says 'No Network Available'
If I go into Known Nets, it lists 'UK CELLNET' so when I add it, it is then saved under the Preffered Lists, but still won't access the network.
I have an actual O2 phone (other SIM, dif. number) and I get signal with that where I'm parked (driveway) and same with my Orange contract phone, but the car phone just doesn't want to play ball.
Are there any fuses which relate to the phone aerial? Also the aerial on the car isn't a regular 'stubby' but a tall aerial, like the standard radio one on the Corsa 'B'. Would this make a difference at all??
Cheers
Paul
