    Hi

    I have a 2G  windows mobile phone and I want to make it work with a USIM (sim card normally for 3g phones) card. My operator only supports "roaming" for non-3g phones. To get to roaming I will need to manually select the network.

    When I put the USIM card into the phone, it turns on and displays that the phone is off. It will not allow me to turn the phone on. To edit the phone network settings, the phone needs to be on.

    Any way around this, so I can manually edit the phone network settings despite no phone connection to the network?

    I am probably overlooking something, but isn't there a normal sim who you can borrow from someone to change the settings ?
    Which phone are you using ?
