Hello there xda forum,
I just registered today for this problem. I'm really sorry for my bad english! I hope somebody can help me, that would be great
So i came today from India to Austria. I was there to visit my family and that stuff. I buyed there a new phone cause my old phone is dead with water. I have buyed before 1 week my new phone. Its called: Micromax Canvas Fire a104. This phone is just 1 month old and costs olny 7000 rupees. It has dual sim, one micro and one big sim. So i have tried there vodafone and tata docomo and they worked perfect. I just put them like for 1 hour, just to check the network. Now today the problem starting. I have a sim from Austria called "drei" and it doesnt work in that phone. But it other phone it works. I will try today to put some other out country sims, but I dont think they will work. I have put the sim in the micro and big slot (with a adapter) but they just dont work. But they work on s4, in old nokias and that stuff. What should I do now? Does those Micromax company only work in India, Russia, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka? Because in Austria or like in germany are they not selled.
Thanks for reading and please help me

BaseBand Error
The problem is that Micromax phones dont support different countries bandwidth other than in which it is sold.
So using any other sim other than those will not be able to function properly.
So try some international sim or buy a new phone
Hey buddy,
thanks for you're answer. I just figured it out... you just blow in the sim pocket and rub the sim on your pants and tadaaaaaa, there he goes.

Hi, everyone
I am running v10b, 2.2 froyo.
Just yesterday my 2 GSM sims (from the same service provider) "BSNL" (runs at 800mhz) became corrupt after inserting them on my optimus one, and they ran perfectly all these days.... i don't know what happened... it all happened when i reinserted those sims... i tried them on other phones, and i confirmed that my sim cards toast forever, in optimus its says "no service", my other nokia phone doesn't even show the welcome screen, just the backlight and nothing on screen...
strangely enough sims from other service providers like vodafone, docomo doesn't seem to get corrupted, is it because they run at other frequencies 1800,1900...
does this mean that my optimus one is malfunctioning and corrupting my sims that work on 800mhz...
i don't know if its frequency related issue, but i can't seem to get any other possibility of damage other than that... i can't believe it damaged 2 sims.... if it was just one, i could have concluded that it was due to wear an tear of that sim, but since it damaged my second sim.... thats what raised suspicion...
any ideas
That's strange! I guess it would be better if you take it to the LG service center since sim card corruption is not something really common. I have used Airtel and BSNL on my O1 and I frequently change between MTNL and Vodafone.
OT - maybe different operators finds way, how to get few customers!
not OT - You would contact operator first, and let him try some "test" sim, if it wasn't just couple incidents in "one shot".
Same thing happend to me. My two bsnl sims got damaged after inserting them in LG Optimus One. Scared of trying the third one! Though Airtel sim is working fine.
Did you try any more bsnl sims?

Had same problema
i used docomo when i bought it.
couple of days later,when i swapped it to airtel,it showed nothing.
n when i again inserted back in ma monte,the sim was gone.
after getting a duplicate one, again same thing happened.
but docomo working all wel and good,no matter how many times i remove it.
i think its d fault of phone.
cant b co incidence with so many people so many times.
UPDATE
Bsnl gave me a new 128kb sim (bsnl 3g) for Rs. 59 and it's working properly. The two sims that got damaged were (old light blue colored) Rs. 20 sims. I too think there is some problem with the phone as it should support all the sims, not just the latest ones.
Hope this helps someone.
i have totally weird yet kinda same problem. when i first flashed a new rom everything worked fine except calling. whenever i used to call someone call wouldn't go and when i try to end it it gets struck in "hanging up" mode.tried different roms still da same problem ! was using tata docomo . so changed it to airtel and it was working fine!!
did anybody experience similar kinda problem!!
Iam using airtel sim I bought 5 years ag, working without any problems..
Yes I agree. Only bsnl old sims have problem. I tested airtel,idea and docomo. All the three worked fine.

Hi all,
First off, thanks for your help in advance, I find it great that communities like this are content with a simple thumbs up and don't require the contents of my wallet like the bastards at Apple. My problem is probably quite simple, but it's beyond me, so I'd appreciate your help.
Basically, I bought a Galaxy S Plus in India some years back and it's been my primary phone ever since. It worked fine with any SIM I put into it in India and made texts and calls as usual. Here's the issue. About a week ago I moved to the UK and my wife gave me her LycaMobile SIM to use with the phone. I put it in, but my phone wouldn't make any texts or calls, the phone showed some bars for signal for a few seconds but they quickly disappeared. I know the SIM works, because we tested it in her Nexus 4 and my friends Galaxy S2, leading me to believe the phone is at fault.
I tried several other SIMS in the phone, both UK and India based, but still no luck. My guess is that it has something to do with baseband, but as I said, I'm really not sure.
Thanks again for any help.

I think thats not the problem, google says that india and the united kingdom have the same gsm-bands (900/1800).
Hello guys,
this is the first time i write something here and it's because i really really need some help. Recently i got back to Romania (Europe) from USA and i decided to buy mom a Samsung SGH-i727 from the States to make her surprise. I am very sad because she loves the phone but you cannot actually use the SIM card. I've been in Hungary few days before with the phone i could use there, but in Romania no. You guys think it;s purely because the frequency ? As i studied the frequency problem it seems that it should'n be any because they are compatibile.
Please guys help me with this one!
Could you provide some more information.
You were saying it was working in Hungry but not in Romania.
So you could make and receive calls, and use it internet?
What happens when you put the Romanian SIM in? Does it show any reception or just emergency calls?
Do you have any connection? For example can you only make calls but no internet?
First things I would test are.
What happens with a different SIM pull one out of a friends phone and test it.
Because it could be the SIM card, sometimes older SIM cards dont work in newer phones. Most Telcos will do a SIM swap at no charge.
Or it could be you need to set up the network configuration.
Usually the phone will pull the settings down off the network but if your in a different locale you may have to manually do it.
Hello,
I bought this phone in Malaysia @ Lowyat PLaza.. Paid RM1099.. The Hyundai Multicav Q5L+ has good features & worked Ok in MY using the MY SIMs but when I moved to India (Chennai) it stopped working. When I put my India SIM (Vodafone) and the MY SIM - Tunetalk (it's a dual SIM phone) neither of the network signals seems to pick up. Note, the phone does display that its a Vodafone SIM, Tunetalk SIM etc. but no signal and there is a "cross" displayed next to the signal bar. I tried selecting the network manually but that didn't help. When I contacted the MY vendor (who sold me the phone) he said something about the IMEI range registered on the phone being different than the one in India and hence the phone needs to be patched. Apparently it can be done by some of the service center shops locally. When I went to a few of them, they took a look and couldn't figure out how to fix it for this brand of phone. Note, both the SIMs (incld the MY one which is on roaming) work perfectly well with my old phone which I had purchased in India. So nothing wrong with the SIM cards or the networks in general but something to do with this phone. Any help will be appreciated.
Hey guys,
I'm having a bit of a problem and I was hoping you could help me solve it. My normal phone (a Nexus 5X) recently broke down (which is another problem for another thread) so I'm having to use a Moto E that my dad brought back from India (just a quick rundown on its history: we bought the international version on Amazon from the US and shipped it directly to India; it stayed there for a couple of years until my dad went there and got my family there a new one and brought this one back). Now the main problem is that it won't work my T-Mobile SIM card and when I say won't work, I mean it straight up does not recognize it's in the phone. This is a really major inconvenience as I have to communicate with my parents a lot (this isn't about not being able to use Snapchat or whatever) so I really need to find a fix for this until my 5X comes back (which could take up to a month according to the LG support people). Any solutions?
P.S. The phone came to me originally with Jellybean 4.4.2 which I then upgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1 which I hoped would solve the SIM problem. It didn't so I rooted and installed a Cyanogenmod 14.1 build which I found here on XDA. This still hasn't solved my problem, ergo me writing this post.
Try flashing radio files. Here is the link
http://www.gammerson.com/2015/12/fix-sim-card-not-detected-in-cm13-moto.html
Hope this resolve ur problem.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the radio files but unfortunately, they didn't work. I flashed the XT1021 US and XT1021 EU radios, the XT1022 US radio, and the XT1023 US radio, but none of them solved the problem. I'm not so sure it's a software problem anymore. On a hunch, I took the old India SIM card (which is Airtel by the way) that came with it and put it back in and lo and behold, it picked up a signal. I turned it off, took out the India SIM, and put the T-Mobile one back in and it was back to not recognizing it. Is there some physical difference between US and India SIM cards that causes the Moto E not to pick up the US SIM card? I couldn't spot any differences in dimensions of the gold plated contact but then again, it might be to small for me to see. My dad hasn't had this problem with his US Moto X which he took to India and used with an Indian SIM card. If this really is a hardware problem, then I don't think there is much else I can do but I'm hoping you guys have some other solutions.

Airtel sim is gsm sim I think T-Mobile sim is cdma
If I'm right use gsm sim
That makes sense. Is there anyway to make my T-Mobile SIM gsm temporarily or is that a hard wired feature of SIM cards? I don't want to change it permanently or buy a new one because, as I said before, this is a temporary phone for a month at the most and I'm just a broke college student. If there isn't I'll just have to figure something else out until then.
