Second Andy....it should work with menu dialing...go through the menu entries till you find the United Mobile menu and you should see some indication of manual dialing...that should work

Another possibility is to switch the roaming partner...find the menu entry to manually select the network...I have found sometimes that AT&T doesn't work and T Mobile USA does.

Incidentally, you can change the pin if you want and/or remove the necessity of entering the pin every time you turn on the phone...there should be some menu entry for security which will allow you to do so...I always do that myself as I don't feel or see the great advantage of a pin on a PAYG phone...if somebody finds the phone you're probably not going to get the amount stored on the sim back anyway, chances are the thief will take the sim out and if you enter the pin incorrectly, you can freeze the sim till you find the little card with the PUK code if you still have it...
