Thanks, I am actually in France now with an activated French sim.

(Though not using the actual card)...oddly my HTC won't connect to the sim and shows no signal? (Unlocked and roaming set to on), however plugging it into a relatives French phone means it picks up the signal straight away.

Any clues?

Now plugged into my dongle and it is picking up a signal but the orange/orange/orange doesn't appear to be working. It tries to connect but times out (definitely should be able to connect though)



What am I doing wrong?
