I haven't had any problems with this phone and even made a few calls an hour ago, but now it shows a message 'no sim card ' I have reseated the sim card and restarted the phone a few times yet I still get the message. Any ideas?
One more thing, just found the sim says it is locked. Nobody had access to lock it and I haven't set that up.
Get a new SIM card?

But what would cause this to happen?
does it give you the option to unlock it? i believe the default pin is 1234

Since you have provided absolutely zero information about what you have done meanwhile, I assume the SIM simply died. In case you have flashed something like baseband or ROM, next time tell us.

For unlocking an already locked SIM, you need PUK, not PIN.
Some more information :
Phone is on Telus. Not rooted or anything. I have not updated the phone, but it is on 2.2.1. I was not running a program when this occurred, I made a call then picked up the phone 20mon later, and I got the message. Also, I have tried 1234 and that did not unlock the sim. I have never locked the sim before.
Call your operator... do not see what you would solve here.

May be you can do factory reset...if still not working return to where you bought. You can search this forum, how to do factory reset.
I had the same problem after installing the MIUI ROM. However, it still showed the keypad to enter my PIN code, which I did, and the error disappeared after that.
i had the same problem, so, after a couple tests, that´s the "solution"...
take your SD card off, and turn the mobile on, will work.
after that, you can put it in again, and be alert because the time you have to insert your sim pim(sim password)is short(till the mobile finish "search for media" in your sd)
at least for me, it worked
Hi, Please help since today I´m having the same problema. No SIM card is detected by the phone, IMEI says Unknown, baseband Unknown.
HElp PLEASE!!!
First step: Install a stock rom and see if it works, backup everything first.
Second step: If first step does not work, you have an EFS corruption. Plenty of threads on this and how to recover your IMEI. Search will be your friend.

Thanks 1st did not work. 2nd the problem is that I am too rookie to do it, can someone do it for me remotely? I can pay for the service of course.
I've looked around for similar thread(s) but found nothing. I recently followed the instructions on this website-> "teambamf.net/index.php/topic/3528-guide-to-install-ics-ruu-and-firmware-windows/" and got the phone started up. Unfortunately since I'm not Verizon (T-mobile USA) I've been stuck at the "Activating" screen for hours now and it keeps saying "SIM card from unknown source". Any help to fix either (if not both of these problems) will be greatly appreciated.
P.S - tried rebooting several times and still stuck at the Activation screen after SIM from unknown source.
did you try to boot the phone up first without sim card? The phone by default is locked to cdma and you would have to manually change to gsm in order for it to work.
Try to boot up without SIM (and also any SD card. I had issue that my sd card has a rom in it and it won't let me to get any network data, so I had to erase the SD card and it work. So start without the sd card). Then setup the phone. Once it's setup, change the network to GSM and then shut down and put hte sim. See if this works.
I would suggest check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421341
also, is your sim already activated? I am not too sure if you can use rezound ot activate any sim. if it is not activate, try to activate with a diff phone first and then put in the rezound afterwards.

If you have Verizon and a Verizon branded phone and are getting this message, you need to contact customer support.

Have you tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355
Otherwise, the Business Sense ROM is based on stock, and this will happen on all stock ROMs, but it should not effect actually using the device... It would be best to move to a CM or AOSP based ROM.
I have bought a new Xperia Ray ST18a from Telus (Canada). I have successfully unlocked it using a code, called my voice mail without a problem. Then I downloaded Sony's PC companion to verify if the phone's software was up to date. When the update was finish, I tried to make another call and noticed the "Emergency Calls only. No Sim Card" message.
I used the Sim card in my old phone and it worked. I used another Sim card in my Ray, the 'No Sim card Message' was still there.
I sent the phone to Sony for repair and came back with again the same problem.
Anybody have a clue what is wrong with the phone?
The SIM lock Menu it shows:

It's locked again
They have network locked your phone again. As for the SIM problem, maybe the phone/SIM contacts aren't clean enough. I don't think it's related to the network lock/unlock.

Thanks for the reply.
I have checked the contacts and even applied pressure on them when the phone was restarting. Same results.
How can you tell it's network locked again?
With which code did you unlock?
Does any other SIM card work?
According to the Network value, seems like the SIM-lock is still there...Is the phone branded?

Yes it's a branded phone.
I tried another SIM card from another cell phone and I'm still having the same message.
I bought an unlock code from a unlocking service from the internet.
Learned something yesterday!
Not all cell phones can prevent the insertion of the SIM card the wrong way!
On the Ray you can insert the card the wrong way and you will be able to install the battery and cover perfectly. I have re-inserted the SIM card in the right position and the "No SIM card" message disappeared and was able to unlock it with the same previous code. All is now fine.
I don't mind looking like a foul and hope this thread will help somebody else.
Thank you for trying to help.

Hey guys i just was giving a Lumia 710 and was wondering if there was a fix to a problem im having, the phone keeps saying invalid or no sim, but my sim is in the phone, it is a tmobile phone and so is my sim, it even shows my phone number but dosnt connect to my service or anything... any help?
Hi,
Any baseband error will result in this condition. Have you played with custom roms ?
Maybe you have version mismatch wp7/rex, or baseband is corrupted. Maybe
reflash to the latest version and check.
BR
it was like this before i even unlocked it
can you provide links or any help? im a noob when it comes to wp7
Really a strange problem, if you are using a pincode, remove the pincode and see if that helps, otherwise try another simcard.
Succes,

Return the phone, sounds faulty
so ive been searching online and i think the phone is being IMEI blocked by tmobile, is there anyway around this?
Dial ##782# and press the call button now you can see if your phone is having a simlock, if yes search the forum.

Okay thanks, there are not much options left.
But we still have two problems, could it be the phone or the sim-card.
About the phone, did you already a factory reset and installed everything again ?
If not, I suggest to try that first.
Can you also tell me more about the sim-card, did you cut the sim-card yourself to fit in the phone, ordered a new sim, using an old one ?
First, if you ordered a new sim-card, just call T-mobile and asked them if you have to activate your sim.
Second, try to put a piece of paper on the sim-card to make it more stable.
For now I'm out of options,
Good luck,
Just purchased an HTC One and an unlock code, and upon inserting a T-Mobile sim card into the slot, I do not receive the Sim Network Unlock Pin request menu, instead I receive an error Phone Not Allowed MM #6 which I've read means the phone has a bad IMEI, but the phone works flawlessly with my AT&T Sim card meaning it cant be a bad IMEI. Am I just a noob and missing one simple step? I've rooted hundreds of phones and im coming from my HTC One X rooted and unlocked, so if anyone can help please respond as soon as possible, as I said I already have my unlock code, just unable to attain the input menu, the phone is NOT stolen.
Thanks so much,
Z?

Does anyone on earth have a clue whats going wrong? I sat on the phone with AT&T, HTC, and T-Mobile for hours and no one has a clue why I'm not being asked for my unlock code upon inserting the sim card, please I cant be the only person who has had this issue, i have now tried many hard reboots, unlocked boot loader, even flashed maximus 7 HD to try and reset the counter and still no luck.

I also recently bought an AT&T HTC One from Craiglist. When I inserted a T-Mobile SIM card it prompted me to enter the unlock code, which I entered then the phone rebooted and it no longer asked me for the unlock code.
BUT, i was not able to get a signal and got the MM #6 error.
The error apparently can be from the phone being black listed. in my case the phone is not blacklisted.
The other reason, it seems, since the phone was bought from AT&T with subsidies, AT&T will not allow the phone to be used on t-mobile.
Had the previous owner requested the unlock code before selling it then it would have been unlocked.
For now, I am using it with aio for $40/month which is pretty good.
