I think you need to 'unlock' the phone.

I am unfamiliar with the T300 but I'm sure there are many who can recommend
unlockers.
I believe Orange, in almost all cases, lock their phones. I wouldn't
therefore recommend them.

I bought a tri-band R520m from BT Cellnet/o2 and it was unlocked for all
networks.

If you buy a T300 from ANY provider it *should* be tri-band no matter.

An unlocked, no contract, blue T300 from Expansys (in the UK) costs just
over £100 - pretty cheap:

They may welll ship to you (?).
