GPRS shield with Free mobile sim card

Hello all,
I recently purchased the sim 900 gsm shield (http://wiki.epalsite.com/index.php?title=SIM900_Quad-Band_GPRS_shield_with_Micro_SD_card_slot)
I used it with the new Free mobile 2€ sim card.
The NET LED turns on, then flashes every 0.8 seconds, then just turns off. When I press the PWRKEY, the same routine happens, an infinite loop.
I checked the sim card with a phone, turned off the pin code.
I tested the sim card, it works well on a normal phone. Though, when i inserted it in a old motorola, it required additional settings, sent by ams or something.
Did I miss out something?
Please help.

Hello,
take a look at this post (in french) Probleme shield GSM & exemples d'utilisation - Français - Arduino Forum.
It seems that you must change some code lines.
I don't know more about it.
Best..

This solved my problem
