Hi.
My friend had an unlocked S2 he just ordered an UK three 3 network contract sim card but when he puts it in the phone, it shows an "no sim" message.
Does anybody know what is wrong?

SIM card could be corrupt. Test in another mobile phone.
If SIM card is OK, maybe it was not correctly inserted into the smartphone. Check position and (electric) contacts if possible.
If SIM card is Ok and inserted properly, then it could be a (hardware) problem with the smartphone. Test with another SIM card, which works in a mobile phone.
Good luck !
thanks

I bought a used Orange UK TG01, unlocked it with an unlock code, then flashed some cooked ROMs. Voice calls work perfectly, but a "Cannot connect for an unknown reason" comes out immediately when I use anything that needs a data connection. This even happens with a stock Hong Kong WM6.5 ROM.
Is my TG01 defective? I flash ROMs with SDDL+ and my microSD card is a Transcend 8GB microSDHC Class 6. The only things I haven't tried yet is using a microSD (<2GB) card and using the pin shorting method to flash ROMs instead of using SDDL+.
I'm in Hong Kong and my mobile operator is PCCW 3G. All connection settings are correct. The same settings and SIM card work with my HTC TyTN II.
Try this....
Change your sim card with your friends or your wife's. I am thinking that your phone company is the problem. I had the exact same problem with my phone here in Japan. Said something just like your message. So I swapped the sim card with the sim card in my wife's phone and boom... my phone worked perfectly. I had to call my phone company over and over and over again, then they said that they will "refresh" my phone account and it took three days. So... just try a different sim in your phone, the problem you are describing is EXACTLY the same as I experienced. No data connection, but SMS(I think.. I am not sure, it happened to me three years ago) and phone works fine.
Check it out, tell me what happened when you swap sim cards?

Luckily my operator happens to be carrying out some network upgrades which requires me to get a new SIM card from them, no phone calls needed.
I got my new 64K SIM card and bam, everything works perfectly now! The chip on the SIM card is smaller than my previous SIM card.
Hi Everyone,
Question - I cut down a regular sized sim card received from AT&T for the go phone that looks like this:
I can't post outside links yet but here is the photo -
i49.tinypic.com/rku2oi.jpg
When I power on the phone I get a "no sim" error - tried to enable and disable flight mode and it gave the error "sim card crash check your sim card or contact customer care" (that did not show up when I had 0 sim cards installed)
Anyone successfully get a gophone sim card to work? I saw some sim cards with more contact points (longer or wider) so not sure if this is the right type for the phone.
After failing in the I9300 I inserted it back into my dumbphone that I used to active the card earlier and it read the card without issues.
Also, if this happens to be the wrong type of sim card what do I do? Should I call AT&T and ask for a different type of sim card? purchase it from somewhere on the internet and activate it?
Thanks for your help in advance!

If you have even sliced any of the metal contact then its game over.
Time for a new sim.
Regardless If it works in other phones.
Its never fool proof, plus the sim type does matter.

Thanks! Do you know if the sim type I have in that picture is the right type? Is there a specific model or something that I can ask for from AT&T?
Hello all, i just bought one of these phones on ebay. Im not sure if the SIM slot if working. I put an inactive T-moblie and also an old AT&T sim card in there, but the lock screen shows "No SIM card" with a picture of a sim card with a red exclaimation point underneath that it says "no sim card inserted emergency calls only". I wanted to activate it on T-mobile or Straighttalk, but before i buy a new sim with a months plan i'd like to make sure that its working. Does the phone show this message with an inactive sim card inserted? or only when there is NO sim card inserted. Thanks for any help.

I have two amazes. One had a broken SIM slot. The other was normal.
The one with the broken SIM slot showed the no SIM card even when I used my good SIM card.
One of the guys from the forum sent me the phone to tinker with along with the $9 part. I fixed it and now, with an old non active SIM card in it it shows a cell signal. But no data.And when I try to make a call it goes straight to T-Mobile.
It's a very easy fix if you can get the party and the tiny torx driver to remove the screws.
How much did you spend buying the phone?

Get a new SIM first, then a new SIM slot replacement if it doesn't work.

Check with T-Mobile first, you might need to get a new SIM card.
If a new SIM does not fix the issue, just go with Chevy's suggestion and buy a new SIM part from ebay.com. Make sure you use the right tools, and an anti-static wrist strap may help! :good:
If you bought an Amaze at this point in time for over 130$, you probably didn't get the best deal considering how it isn't working right. I really don't understand why people still are buying Amazes when there's much nicer HTC phones lol.
Hi Guys.
I just bought a unlocked HTC Vivid X710a on ebay. I received it and took off the sim card from my Metro PCS phone and placed it in the HTC.
However I am getting this error message when I try to connect to the Metro PCS network (311660)
"your sim card does not allow connection to this network"
What should I do?
Thanks
same
same issue here
Maybe the phone is blocked from that network by IMEI.
To follow up, I placed a T-Mobile Sim Card on it and it worked perfectly.
what do you guys think? Could it be a sim card problem? but if so, why does it work on my metro pcs phone?

Problem solved.
Metro PCS Sim cards are locked to only one phone. Went to the store and the assigned the new phone for a 16$ charge.
Hello all,
I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We have 3 mobile operators and all 3 are working on same frequencies. On one sim card(I am using 2 cards from different providers) I am getting no service message in every scenario: in both slots, when trying only that card in both slots, on 2g, 3g ect. I've tried second sim from my colleague and same result for that provider. I requested new sim card, same problem. Phone is flashed two days ago on 70..12.0 but same problem still exist. sometimes card gets recognized for couple of minutes and then goes in no service
Does anyone have some solution for this?
Thx in advance
