W880 able to call only network op. Dead or locked?

[~Sarf~]

Hello,

Can you provide a little more info about what happened please?

IE. After unlocking + debranding your phone, did it work? And what exactly happened "yesterday"?

I ask because I'd like to know if it EVER worked or not.

Is your SIM card okay? Does it work in other phones?(did you pay your bills on time?? :p )

Please try to provide enough info so that those who look into this have some info to work with.

Best of luck, and have a nice evening! :)

Hello Sarf , thanks for your reply

yes the W880 was working correctly, the SIM is fine, bills payed :)

when i inserted the SIM in a very old Sony i had again good reception and even more strangely if i would move 500mt away from my current location the W880 would again start working properly.

here's what I think happened: there was a thunderstorm and the 3G network must have gone down in my aerea, while the GSM still works.
That's why the old phone was working, it has no 3G.
Infact when I switched my W880 to 'GSM only' it started working properly again.

In synthesis: GSM + 3G would not work if the 3G is down, it would not siwtch automatically to GSM only.
a bit of a bug in the OS in my opinion

best
