Hi folks,

I'm looking for a bit of info regarding the Telecom network and Android phones.

I have a Telecom phone on contract with an Xperia X10 mini handset.  It works just fine except it's not the easiest handset to use.

Anyway, my son has given me an HTC Wildfire (1st gen) handset with Froyo Android version.  He tells me that it's unlocked.  He has flashed it back to the original "vanilla" software and restored the Factory Settings.

When I put my Telecom SIM in the phone it is recognised (for example I can see my contacts on the SIM), but I get "No service" and can't make calls.

I ran the Wildfire's IMEI through the Telecom online checker and it says it should be fine.

My son used the phone on 2degrees and Vodafone without problems.  If I put a 2degrees SIM in then the phone seems to work OK (don't have a Voda one to test it with).

If I do a network search with my Telecom SIM installed the results are Vodafone and NZ Comms (which I understand is 2degrees).

I've been through all the settings, checked every web page I can find but to no avail.  

What am I missing?  Will this ever work?  Slightly reluctant to get into dialogue with Telecom directly since the phone is under contract with my employer so it may get complicated.

Thanks in advance for any help/comments/etc,

Cheers

Mark
