    If the Orange sim works, in a different phone, then the 6070 could have been reported lost or stolen, that's why your "sim card registration failed", I would say the phone is unlocked to see that message, if the phone was locked you would see "phone resticted".

    Blacklisted!!
    Different networks blacklist handsets in different ways:

    Orange & O2:
    If you place an active orange or
    O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you
    phone will not show any signal strength
    at all! If the handset is a Nokia then a
    "SIM card registration failed" message
    will also be displayed. If your handset is an
    Ericsson then an "Invalid Mobile" message
    will be displayed. For most other manufacturers
    the handset will simply show no signal!

    Vodafone & T-Mobile
    If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!
