Hi all,
Hope someone will be able to shine a light on this.
The icon suddenly appeared after coming back from Mexico, it had a telcel SIM card in it.
I recall it said something about data restriction.
At first I didn't pay any attention but now my phone does not recognize any SIM card, already tried with 4 from different carriers, cannot make any call and no pop up to enter the PIN number,
Any ideas?

Ok I guess the problem is that T-mobile didn't program a phone number into the sim card. When you go to Settings->About phone->Phone Identity under phone number it says "unknown" which is causing a problem for Tikl cause I guess it relies on that.
I've done some googling and other people have had that problem and have fixed it by taking out the sim card and putting it into an iPhone and then editing the info. Unfortunately android doesn't have this capability (which sucks!) so i'm stuck. Anyone know of an app or something that can manage the sim card info?
Could probably just go into Tmobile and have them do it for you for free.
I work for Tmo and I can tell you for sure this is a known issue with every Android device. If you call they can send an OTA that just programs the number in your SIM. I do it at least once a week for customers, just call thru to Tech Care and ask.

Thanks for the responses. I'll give T-mo a call, i'm sure they can fix it. I didn't want to have to drive to the store again.
My first SIM didn't have the number either. I called T-Mobile up, told them the problem and they sent something OTA that programmed the SIM with my number.
Hey guys, I'm leaving the country for a bit and want to bring my x10 for the camera / wifi. If I leave my sim card in there I will get charged for roaming.... Just wondering if anyone knows where a guide is to make it so I can use the phone without my sim card in it so I can just use the wifi and camera.
I look around a bit but the ones I found were for different phones =/
Thanks Guys
You can just disable roaming in settings.
Settings »» wireless & network »» mobile network »» then disable data traffic and roaming etc and you should be fine

You can use your phone fine without a SIM card in it aswell. Just take it out and turn on your phone.
But as the above says, you can just disable Data
Just enable airplane mode

This is not always true....AT&T's branded firmware will not let you do ANYTHING with the phone without an active sim card. After powering it on the phone locks up and tells you to insert a working sim card. You can't even get to your home screen or app drawer.

Yup, same thing with an Orange locked X10i.
If the phone has a sim lock, you can't use it without a sim.

However if you have had the phone for six months you can try to ask att for the unlock code. They are supposed to give it to you.

yeah, they are supposed to do lots of things lol...don't forget this is at&t, after all. if your bill is current, youve had the handset for 6 mos and they won't give it to you, call better business and the fcc. i can almost guarantee they will fight you though :-\

Alls been well since i got the replacement 3 weeks ago and then today it happens again

Everything is fine no matter where i am, just this morning it reverted back to the "emergency calls only", same as what my 1st Galaxy S3 did and when i go to select network it just says cant connect to network!
Sim card works in other phones no problem
Is your SIM card recognized by the phone?
Does it have a SIM Serial Number? (Afaik you can e.g. use Z Device Test to see the SIM S/N)
Sorry are you talking about cellular network or WiFi?

Cellular network, wifi is working fine, even my internet data works when wifi is off!! Its making calls and sending texts
So annoying
Phone is packed up and being sent to Samsung Service Centre 2moro anyway
Maybe it's your sim card, could it be damaged in any way? (cutting it down etc...)
Clean the contacts on the sim

Sim card is the original out of my iphone 4S and iv cleaned it with a micro fibre cloth!!
As i said the sim works fine in other phones
so i'm trying a fix a galaxy note att branded i717 note. my friend bought it craiglslist. here's what happens.
phone simply will not accept ANY att sim card. either "active" sim or fresh unactivated sim. same goes for tmobile sim cards. in both cases it will show "no sim/emergency calls only".
fine. i was under the impression that it should ask for some unlock code after inserting tmobile sim card, but it doesnt do that. clearly other MVNO sims didn't work either. note - both att and tmbole sims are 89014xxxxx
interestingly i had a foreign sim card (NON 89014xxxx....). => this works! instead of "no sim/emergency calls only", i simply get no service but no errors either!
WHAT is wrong with this phone? blacklisted? hardware fault? flash a different rom? any ideas?
Possible Sim card port damage...
A common problem with this device ....however, without knowing the history of the device, it becomes very difficult to diagnose...
But I'm leaning toward the Sim slot being damaged, as we have several threads on the subject ...g

well there's your problem, i hope you didn't spend too much on it.
I think he paid around 310. But the phone was in like new condition. If the SIM slot us damaged then why it would only reject tmob,att ones? It should reject every sim.
thx for ur responses. Appreciate it

I think I can help. Try resetting your phone, reinstalling the rom, or there is a bad thing going on with your phone. Are you sure itbis from AT&T? If the SIM card slots do not work, gently use a cloth to clean them. Is it a micro SIM card or did you cut a regular one down yourself? thank me if anything I mention fixes the problem.
hi, thanks everybody for posting. some strange things happening.
I tested two Tmobile MVNO (ultra and ptel) sim cards, both work! I didn't try simple mobile yet.
i found ONE tmobile and ONE at&t sim card that gets read properly. then i tried few other att/tmobile sim cards and they are rejected. !!!??!!!
I think i need to go the debug mode and change some settings there? *#197328640#
clearly sim slot is not broken. imei is not blocked.
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..
