Someone gave me this Z1 Compact. It was left in a cupboard at work apparently not working, but I found that if I stuff a thin piece of card under the SIM card that it tightens the connections enough for it to work.
How do I tell if this handset is carrier branded handset or not?
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* then open Service info then Software info and post back with the Customization version number
1280-7858_R2D
Customization version: 1280-7858
Operator: T-Mobile UK (United Kingdom)
If you dial the same code then open Software info the SIM lock and post the results we'll be able to let you know if your phone is carrier/network locked, available to be unlocked or hard locked to a network
