Compatibility with other networks: The L7089 has customised software for the Orange network and comes SIM locked, that means it will only operate with Orange SIM cards. It is possible to have the phone unlocked for use on any GSM900, 1800 or 1900 network and Orange will do this for a fee. Unfortunately full compatibility when using with non Orange SIMs cannot be guaranteed.
