I have recently powered up an old motorola V3 and found some photos of a few people who have passed away ,The Photos in question are stored on the phone not the sim card I've found another old orange sim card and inserted it and the phone just says not registered, I tried another companies sim and it said to contact provider, I assume that means it's locked to orange.
. If I get a pay as you go sim from EE would the sim work in the phone and would I be able to fully unlock the phone with a PUK code

@Thepirate You can get the device unlocked but you’ll need to know the phone number that was used in this device to get it unlocked for free and if you don’t know that you’ll need to pay £8.99. A EE sim will
not work in the device until it’s unlocked from the Orange network.
A PUK code is to unlock a sim when the sim pin has been entered wrong to many times it’s doesn’t unlock a phone.
Please have a read of THIS about how to unlock that device.

Hi @Thepirate,
Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂
If you just need to transfer the photos to another device, have you tried using Bluetooth?
Thanks
James
