If you try ANY orange sim and you get the same then the phone is stolen or
on the orange blacklist for some reason or another

It means you must phone up orange and register the sim card before you can
use it

Not sure about your question I know on Vodaphone PAYG cards you have to make
your first call and that's that - sim ready to go!

I know One2One PAYG sim cards you have to call them up give name address
number before the card can be used.

To answer your question: Yes you can use your phone but only with another
already Registered sim card.

If you register you don't really lose anything. You gain approx £7.50 of
call time and if you lose the sim they send you another free so I heard

So go on go on Go On go on ( Boy I hate that TV Tax advert with the lady
from Father Ted)
