I just got a LG P-500 device and I want to deploy with it. Everything is working fine, except that I cant make phone calls, recieve phone calls, send SMS or recieve SMS.

The phone is on its stock ROM (Android 2.3.3, Software Version V20e). The Mobile Company is Orange. The Phone recognize the Mobile Company, and even show the signal bar as full, but when I'm trying to call I'm being directed straight to "Call Ended" screen, and when I send SMS, I recieve back a "SMS wasnt sent" notification. The SIM is Working on my SGS.

I tried everything, can anyone help me with that? Thank You!

Have you set up APNs for Orange? (Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names). – Matthew Read♦ Jan 11 at 18:47

@MatthewRead you need APNs to make a call? I thought they were for data only ("mobile networks", not cell service)? – Izzy Jan 11 at 19:10
Is it possible that the phone's Stock ROM is for 850MHZ sim cards? because in my country there is a Mobile Company that uses 850MHZ instead of 900MHZ and the phone is from her. – LStyle Jan 11 at 19:10
@LStyle The network frequencies that can be used are determined by the hardware of the phone. GSMArena says 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900; 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100 so you should be OK for 2G at least. – Matthew Read♦ Jan 11 at 19:14
