Hi Guys,
Sorry If this has been asked before.
I am thinking of debranding my Orange lumia 800.
Do I need to sim unlock the phone first or at all or once its debranded will my sim work? I ask because after debranding my HTC Desire I had to sim unlock before the phone would work properly.
Also are there any decent guides to follow I found one here that seems ok.

Any thing I should be aware of with the Orange version of the device before I dive in?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
From what i know debranding or reflashing using NCS will not remove Simlock from your phone.
The link you provided is okay to follow but as i remember there are simpler way to debrand/reflash your phone.
Orange variant should be same as other variant, so it fine to debrand.

Hi guys,
I know there are a few threads on here, but they seem to die off back in May time.
Gfs just got an x10 from Orange. There is no branding on the handset, or indeed any of the menus, but when you open the browser it goes straight to Orange.
It's also sim locked to Orange. I guess it's branded, but how would I know for sure?
Also, what is the latest easiest process for debranding?
Thanks
Have you tried the search button? Its pretty useful at times like this when all your questions already have answers
To debrand follow steps 1 to 5 HERE then run SEUS, to unlock contact Orange or search online.
Hi Guys,,
I need some help. I have an O2 Lumia 800 from the UK. I am currently outside the UK, and want this phone unlocked.
I dont have the original sim either.
I am even open to having a custom ROM installed.
Can someone point out what options I have right now to get the phone unblocked.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks,
crusieUser
If you have the option to install a custom rom then you have the Qualcomm bootloader, if so you can use NSS from this forum post

I think i have DLOAD, what options do I have?
Hi Guys,
Just wondering,
Cellularunlocker.net has unlock codes for Orange, will this work with O2 ? (just curious)
Your options are (as far as I know) to get it unlocked from O2 themselves, if a website say's "Orange only" then they won't have the codes for O2.

You must pay for that service, which is called SIM UNLOCK.
When we say unlock HERE, we are talking about the removal of the restrictions within the Operating System.
Hello mates, i've a Orange locked Lumia 710, i've read some tutorials here about unlocking and flashing, i dont understand very well them so, can you please explain me how can i unlock SIM card to other carrier?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Here is the best gude for how to sim-unlock your Lumia 710 (it's obviously for rooted phones, so I guess you unlocked the bootloader and stuff like that by now). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778454&page=2

Probably not. (From what I know about France you can get the code free after having had the phone for 3 months. If that happened then it is unlikely ATF was used. (The bootloader is downgraded by Testpoint to get it to work).

yes that is true they only unlockit after 3 months but this one was not bouygues that unlocked it, it was someone because the phone was bought about 1 month ago. i dont know why but yesterday after debranding the phone he got locked again so i took it to a store to unlockit again. today im going to get it and ask the guy how he unlocked it because probaly its not going to get the code from bouygues
so i got the code but he wont telme were he got it but from what see the code is stored in registry probaly because if its updated buy zune or ncs it will lock again
