hello folks,
I could use some help.
I'll keep this brief,

Got a HTC Desire from my Friend, He was on Orange so I bought an Orange PAYG sim and put it into the phone.

Kept Getting Limited Service message, so I googled it and read about removing the battery. I tried this and it worked. I had a full Signal and access to 3G.

At this point, I thought "great, now I'll do a quick factory reset to rid myself of my friends old settings". Upon the phone resetting it was back to Limited service. I have tried the battery trick again but this time it won't give me anything.

When I try to select the network, it simply says this sim cannot connect to this network. I am at a loss and could use some help on this issue.

Thanks for your time.
