I had two mobile phones which were sold to me as faulty, they both wouldnt accept sims from orange (registration failed) i unlocked them both and they now both work on 02 its very very strange indeed.

could it be that they were on orange contract and the bills werent payed and were blocked, so the imei`s werent circulated amongst the other networks and when i unlocked them there was no record of the imei`s on the other networks???

Yes That sometime happenes

And have you tryed the Orange sim again and it still dont work
But sometime the Providers Contact each other if the payment is not payed and then they BARRED the fone for good
and sometimes they just block it to one network ( thats your case )
so you are lucky
