I got this Nokia phone
since I got it been saying sim card error.
Now I know it was locked
I put in other sims and it never game me the option that it had detected a sim card and was gonna unlock
then I tried a friend's sim it detected I was able to put the code in and get the phone unlocked.
But since then no matter which sim i put in the phone does not detect the sim
Now I can't send the phone back as I'm out of the US I bought from ebay. I will see if I can file a complain via Paypal but don't want to do that unless I contact the person.
Can anyone let me know if they have ever encountered this and how to get it fixed?
thanks

I just got a 920 I kept getting a sim card error and,the phone was supposed to be unlocked. Now reseting phone by powering,off and on sometimes fixes it and,my,carrier shows up. But it always drops it.
My phone has the black update fyi
I read and,I changed automatic network selection to manual and selected my carrier. So far so good. With the notification bar hiding I never see if it connects lte, I only ever see 3g but at least the signal never drops...it,would drop and not reconnect once every half hour..

Here's my problem, hopefully somebody can figure it out before I give up and sell this to somebody with AT&T.
I received a freshly refurbished AT&T 8525 (from ebay) and wanted to use it with a T-Mobile SIM. I upgraded to the latest AT&T distribution (WM6, downloaded from HTC), ran the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a successfully, put my SIM in and everything worked. After calling a friend and talking for about 5 minutes, the call mysteriously ended. I tried recalling (wouldn't connect) and then restarted the phone but it wasn't getting a signal.
Fearing the worst, I tried flashing the latest radio, rerunning the Unlock, and flashing various other ROMs (including an HTC, Schap's, and Pv Dvh Wm6.1 19209) but there was no change. The icon on the Today screen would either give an exclamation point or just continue scanning. If I went into the phone settings and tried to switch to manual network selection, I would sometimes get a choice of T-Mobile or Cingular but any connection attempt would result in a "Failed to register to network" message.
My SIM card works perfectly in both my old phone (HTC Tornado) and an older unlocked Nokia.
My last attempt was to put my friend's AT&T card into my A&T 8525 and it connected just fine with calling ability and everything! I've since run unlock many times, reflashed the radio, installed other ROMs and installed various version of Hard-SPL but none of them seem to be able to connect to the T-Mobile network using my SIM card (but have no problem connecting with my friend's). I can see the phone book on my SIM card so I know its not a bad SIM connection and it does not prompt me for a password (as it first did when I placed my SIM card in the phone when I first received it) so I'm pretty sure it is actually unlocked.
Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!
Try borrowing a friend's phone with AT&T, shove his sim into your phone and talking on it for a few minutes and see if it still happens there. If It doesnt then try your SIM again. Also, try reflashing your radio without your simcard inserted.
I tried reflashing the latest radio without a SIM, then inserted my SIM but there was no change. I'll try talking on it for a while with my friend's SIM and see if anything happens, but I'm doubtful. Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?
I've noticed that when I go into Settings>Phone>Network and select Manual, all the cooked ROMs I've tried end in a "Cannot read settings from the network." while AT&T's gives a selection of T-Mobile or Cingular (neither of which actually let me register to a network, though).
I put my friend's AT&T card in and called my own cell phone. The connection died after 5 minutes, but then I called my own cell phone again and they stayed connected for 10 minutes before I ended it. I put my SIM back into the 8525 and still no signal.
While the AT&T SIM is inserted, the Settings->Phone->Network screen is different. It just says:
Current Network: AT&T
and has a button for Find Network which just pops up a window saying "Registering on the network...
Any other ideas?
Send it back to whoever sold this to you on ebay. Not worth all the hassle that you are going thru. I have the same phone and bought mine off ebay as well. It worked perfectly out of the box with no problems. I have t-mobile and when I placed the sim in - bam - the phone just worked. I had to configure the pop3 email and mms settings manually, but that was it. I have htc's wm6 on it.
Thanks for the advice, but the first one I got from this guy the screen died after a couple of days. He said it was under warranty so I sent it back to him to get it replaced and it took him 3 months to finally return it to me. I really don't want to deal with him again.
I was wondering if there was a difference between the SIM cards. Could you please run the "SIM Manager" Application on your phone. Then go to Menu>Tools>SIM Information and check out the numbers there. Mine says:
Total Phonebook Size:
250
No. of Phonebook Entries
20
Max. length for name:
16
Max. length for phone number:
50
SMS Message storage capacity:
30
Although my friend who has an AT&T 3G SIM has slightly higher numbers for max. length of name, phone number, and SMS storage capacity.
I've also heard some stuff about specifically asking to get your account 3G enabled, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this problem.
I figure I'll go down to a T-Mobile store and see if I can get somebody to let me try a newer SIM in the phone before giving up completely and selling it.
That's too bad. I bought my phone from zendoo and they have a pretty good rating off of ebay. I'd hate to find out that your ESN or whatever is corrupted. Here are my settings
Total Phonebook Size:
250
No. of Phonebook Entries
11
Max. length for name:
16
Max. length for phone number:
40
SMS Message storage capacity:
30
Oh well, I guess I'll see what I can sell this for, wait until my contract is up at the end of summer, and then see what new phones are out then. Thanks for your guys help.
Please help, have a horrible annoying problem…
Recently upgraded to iphone [to sell]
Put my micro sim in my phone until my normal sim arrived, once I got my normal sim and activated it I found I could longer make calls or send txts. But I can browse the web, very strange.
Currently my signal bar has an exclamation mark next to it, I’ve tried an Orange and T-Mobile sim which work absolutely fine, I have tried other O2 sims but get the same problem.
I’ve also tried flashing using task29, have tried radio’s 2.07.50, 2.10.50 and 2.12.50 and various different roms
Thanks in advance
does the sim still works in the iphone? If not its a sim failure and you should get a new one from your provider
check the small print, your sim probably belongs to jobs corp now, and has deactivated itself and reported your treason directly to the implant in steves head when you took it out of the iphone
Lol going to have to sleep with one eye open...but to answer wilwilwel the micro sim no longer works and the sim im using at the moment works absolutely fine in any other phone
HELP!
I dont know how to get home with out my htc
Hello guys, I have an issue with my HTC Amaze 4G, the issue is that it cannot detect my SIM Card, it shows NO IMEI, when I try to call *#06# I get a blank IMEI window. If I reboot the phone into bootloader and then back on, it will ask me to enter my SIM Card security code and proceed. After I enter my SIM Card security code, I get a full signal on the top bar and after 30 - 45 seconds the phone restarts and we go from scratch, no IMEI, it cannot detect the SIM Card. When I get to this point, it shows the grey signal bars and a white X above them. If I try to turn on "Air Plane Mode" and back off that doesn't work, I can't even turn it on, in settings it shows "ON" but I still have the grey signal bars and the white X above them. At this point, I restart the phone, and when we come back to the lockscreen, it shows "Air Plane Mode" on. Any ideeas? Should I buy a new SIM reader ? The phone is not rooted or with a custom rom..
Thanks !
Ps. I don't have a warranty on the phone, it expired..

You've got a corrupt partition, one of the potential downsides of s-off. There have been other posts with users having similar problems. Do a search to see how they resolved it. If worse comes to worse you may have to flash a factory ruu.

Thank you for your answer, but that doesn't help me. As i said above, THE PHONE IS NOT ROOTED OR WITH A CUSTOM ROM. It's on original rom with the Bootloader locked and S-ON.
Call T-Mobile, its an error on their end.

I read today that there may be a need to upgrade tmobile SIM cards to conform with or utilize the New towers they acquired when they took over metro?

Hi, I recently just activated the Note 3 to my account and it seems i keep getting random SIM Card errors, Firstly i get an error saying that "The device didnt respond in time" Sim Locked" or "No Sim" restart my phone. I have no idea whats going on with it, I even had to turn on my wifi just for the phone to activate, the weird thing about it is that it shows the "No Sim" in the top right corner of the phone, but it still gives me a 3G signal, Just wondering if there is a fix to this, because I am paying for premium data and cannot even use it. I have been to the sprint store and swapped my Sim Card out 4 times in 2 days. Is their a fix to this? can u open the sim tray and fix it the thing is that my phone actually recognizes the sim and everything i can see the imei and the iccid clearly when its powered on then its give the errors and iccid goes away but imei and 3g connection is fine. I need some help PLEASE!!

Factory reset did not work at all in this matter, does anyone know how to take apart the sim card tray, or anything my phone recognizes the sim once it is powered on, because i see the numbers of the iccid match and imei match. Once i get the error message the iccid goes to "Unknown", There has to be some way to fix this.
Looks like a problem with either the SIM card or the SIM card reader. Take it back to a Sprint store?
I have an lg k8+ model x210ulm that i want to use with cricket. The phone is fully unlocked and will accept any sim from any carrier but has an odd behaviour that wont let me use my own sim.
I bought a feesh sim from cricket and when i put it in and set it up it will register with crickets apn and mobile network settibg. I get data and it shows up in the about network as connected and working. It shows cricket carrier in notificstion and i can get texts and even voice mail. But ........
I cannot use the dialer. Upon connection there is no error toast or anything it just imnedistely hangs up.
I can use my wifes my sons or my friends sims in the phone and after a reboot works perfectly. But when i put mine in it stops.
Also my sim works fine in any other unlocked device or cricket device.
Any clue as to wth is going on
Ok so after talking to lg and really that was frustrating. Why because the rep told me it the phone was carrier locked to us cellular which i knew it wasnt because its advertised as being unlocked and well us cellular put up an advert a few years ago stating that all thier phones are unlocked.
So after that i went ahead and talked to a rep at us cellular who assured me it was unlocked and checked the imei for me and sent me link to the advert about thier phones being unlocked.
Back to lg and got another rep this time who knew a lil about something but not much. Could not tell me any thing though.
Now back to cricket where we tested my girlfriends sim in my phone to which it worked and mine in her phone to which it worked. We put the sims in my aristo 2 and fortune 2 and both sims worked. But when i put my sim back in my my k8+(2018) once again every thing works fine but you cannot make or recieve phone calls.
We also tested the voice mail app and and thier what qualifies as a carrier app and it registers. The sim registers in about phone shows service and is connected. Shows the phone number every thing works.
Just not the phone Dialer app
So is there any one out there at all that has had an issue like this before. Any one that can help me figure out what the problem is. This is so crazy that my sim wont work and every one elses will.
Could it be something i did using dialer codes? Any cLues at akl
So here we are months later and im still having sim issues with my k8+ ulm. I ended up buying a brand new device and i tried my provisioned sim card with it not working but literally every other sim card works fine.
I have switched from cricket to assist wireless now who is run or what ever by sprint and i can get the sim card to work for a couple days before switching it to another phone but the main issue is that i get a error popup stating that the sim card has locked and that i need to power cycle and call customer service.
But i made a ton of changes by adding all the system apps from sprint including sprinthiddenmenu and any other apk that was on the tribute dynasty they came from. I also went through the file system and made any prop changes or any thing else that was needed to enable sprint.
At this point id flash a sprint modem but i cant find a cv1 device provisioned under sprint
