Sorry if this has been answered already, i tried searching but im on my phone amd the search function suck on the mobile app.
I just bought an AT$T lumina 920 from someone for $40.°°
Long story short i didn't fully test the phone before i bought it i figured what the hell its $40.°° and i have been wanting to give a windows phone a try but when i insert my sim card i get the. "Missing or Invalid sim" WTF. Im using the AT$T LTE sim out of my Optimus G Pro.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Never mind I opened the lumina 920 and discovered 4 of the sim card contact pins had broken in half.
I fixed it by bending the broken contact pins up to contact the sim card.
Bam idiot though they were getting over on me by selling me a broke phone..
feeling mighty full of myself right now.

So WireFly did an unboxing, and if you pause the video and read the plastic that is protecting the screen when he takes it out of the box, the middle says to use the new sim card that is in the box, and that your old sim card will not work with all functions. What's that about? I'm planning on getting this off contract, and my sim will be a year old next month. I wonder if we need to get new ones to use with this phone? http://www.tmonews.com/2011/10/wirefly-unboxes-the-htc-amaze-4g/

Yeah, it does say that. This is from the screen cover on the front of mine.
Wait I'm so confused, what region do you guys live in? I'm here in the US and the phone isn't even out but I thought it was a US only phone. On top of that I likes my SIM D: what does the phone do that specifically needs this SIM in the box?

Not really sure but I'm using my old sim card and everything seems to be working to me.
I'm in the US too, and that confused me. I bought a LG Optimus, Defy, Desire HD, and a Nexus One. Not one of those came with a sim card. I always just swapped my original one when I signed up with T-Mo, and it always worked, but not one had that message on the plastic saying my old one won't work. I guess I will ask when I go to the store to pick it up. Maybe it has to do with the 42MBPS speed thing. Very strange.
It says that but my old one seems to work the same and I'm still getting 4g.
Where did you buy your phone?
wifi calling will not work with the old cards you will get error ER05 "update sim card" I have to go get one since mine did not get the SIM card when i got mine
Ok that makes sense. I don't use WiFi calling at all though.
I have to in my apartment it has crappy reception without it hell in anypart of the town i am in
The one from WIND mobile (Canada) does not have that message on the box or protector... it must be for wifi calling only as I am pulling about 8mbps (on the high end for WIND) most the time, and everyhting is working perfectly
I just bought a HTC Radar 4g from someone and its brand new with receipt and everything but some reason it doesn't have any service. When i start it up it says t-mobile for 2 seconds then switches to emergency calls only. I have tried my mom and dads sim but it doesn't seem to work either. Can anyone help me with my problem. I have t-mobile and my sim works on my e71x but not Radar.
Is it inserted the correct way?

yeah i made sure it was I saw the t-mobile for like 2 seconds pop up once but that was about it then it went to emergency calls only again. I tried to look for solution but few people have had this problem and im not sure what the problem is.
Try cleaning the sim card with a q-tip. Otherwise it sounds like you got a bad phone or the phone was deactivated by T-Mobile (ie it was stollen)

If the phone was deactivated is there any way I can reactivate it? Ill try the q-tip thing.
You can call up t-mobile and tell them what happend.
cpu BAD or phone library bad? the same to my blacyberry 9000
I also had similar problem (though in my case the phone was an unlocked phone). It would not recognize any Sim (would give Invalid Sim or Sim error), this was for a brand new phone right out of the box. Took it to HTC Service Center. They said motherboard was faulty and needs to be replaced! Finally they relented to replace the unit (HTC Service in India is pathetic.) But the replacement unit they gave is not new one!!! Felt cheated. Have decided not to buy HTC here in India again!! This when I am a loyal HTC customer for years now (am using HTC Sensation as my primary phone and ex-phone was HTC Touch Diamond).
At least the phone itself (ie. Radar) is quite good. Looks good, feels great in the hand (better than Sensation) and battery life is outstanding (I am charging it only every 4th day!) OS also is quite good for what it offers (though there are some frustrating things like Zune dependency etc). Its quite stable also compared to the Sensation (no force closes so far (3+ weeks) while Android just crashes the phone at least every other day (or even multiple times in a single day).
I am so ****ed right now...
My SIM card got jammed and I pulled it out and broke one of the three golden sim connectors and now it won't read any SIM cards!
What really annoys me is that it isn't like I had an alternative. I couldn't take it to a Nokia store and get a genius to sort me out as they don't exist.
Now I have to call up Nokia and get it fixed. God knows how much they will charge. It isn't a big thing to fix but it is new.
If anyone has any tips or advice I would welcome it? How much will it cost me to get this fixed? I read that the whole board would need to be replaced which is very expensive?

Last year I had a problem with my focus and I went to an ATT service center(I don't know the proper name) and got an instant replacement. I believe these places are not widespread; you'd have to look it up. Hopefully whoever looks at it will see that it was stuck. If you forced it out, that could be a problem. First talk to the place where you bought the phone. Reattaching a connector doesn't sound like an extreme problem.
Hi, I've got this same problem and they have asked me the price of a new one as they say they have to change all the circuits. Have you find a way to fix it already?
any hints on this matter?
Cheers!

Damn, I had this happen yesterday, After I had successfully flashed UK firmware from Polish and got the black update, Booked it in for collection and repair, Stupid nano to micro sim adapter was to blame as it got jammed in sim tray, I guess I will be charged for repair centre to fix?
I think something like this happened as well.
I think the person who had this phone inserted the sim wrong
then that might of broke or bent one the pins
I'l looking and can only see two of the three clearly.
So will take it to get checked out. Hopefully can be fixed quite easily.
Anyone else got this?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
maybe a little more info would from your side would help
Did you get a brand new SIM with your phone, or are you using one that was used in a different device? Have you by any chance handled the SIM not correctly? Tried to carefully clean the contacts side?

It was a brand new SIM that came with the preorder. I've never taken the SIM out, but I'll try taking out the SIM to see if the person who put it in at ATT corporate did it wrong or something.

Yes take the SIM out, enter again and try it for a while. I don't have any problems with the SIM the phone shipped with.
I had to get a new SIM from a store after my cats decided mine old one was a play toy (I was swapping it between phones to make sure my old one was okay to sell)
After I put it in the my X+, I had phone service but no data service. The store couldn't figure it out, but phone tech support looked up my new SIM card number and realized that the store hadn't activated my data plan on it. It was resolved quickly once they figured that out, but might be a good question to ask if you're still having problems.
Got a new phone, it takes a nano Sim,so I bought a Sim cutter. Cut fine and went in new phone fine. Put in adapter tray and put back in note ii and i think something was just off and it won't read the Sim. I hear some scraping as it came out.
Was going to keep it for tethering while on vaca since I can't root the new phone, still on unlimited.
Anyone know where I can have it repaired? Typical phone repair shops? I have never had to have a phone fixed before.... Kinda bummed now...
