    Question Unlocking an Orange w580i to use it in Norway

    Hi,
    I inherited an w580i which is bought in France (i think), and has an "Orange" logo on the front. I live in Norway, though, and have a norwegian sim-card.. I've been reading alot about flashing, but I don't think this will help, I need to unlock the operator restrictions somehow.. When I insert my SIM-card it says in french "insert valid sim card"..
    How can I get this to work with my Norwegian sim-card?

    On forehand, thanks!

    for CID53 : do you still have the sim card that came with the phone (France) ? if yes, then you can unlock it for free. Read here : Patching CID53 (DB2020)DB2010,2012 - Top Sony Forums and here : Remove SIM-lock patch generator - Page 118 - Top Sony Forums
    For CID 52 : Read here : Flash your phone and How to apply or remove patch using SETool 2 Lite - Top Sony Forums
    and here : Remove SIM-lock patch generator - Page 118 - Top Sony Forums (for CID52, there's no need to have the simcard that came with the phone

    I do not have the Sim-card that came with the phone...
    And I'm pretty new at this unlockig/flashing, so I need some help to find out if I have cid 52 or what i have.. I know, from the "secret" service menu that my phone's firmware has something to do with R8BE001, and ORANGE...
