Hi there,
I have recently unlocked an XDA Orbit to work on any network which is great except it doesn't seem to recognise my network which is 3.
Apparently this is because my current phone that the sim is in is a Viewty which is video-calling capable but the Orbit isn't (no camera on the front?)
I was told i could obtain an old 3 sim card from the network themselves but they were very unhelpful to be honest, said they could issue me a new SIM card for £5 which may or may not work but it wont be guaranteed to work on a phone not 'approved' by them.
Can anyone help at all with some other advice? I will order the sim and try it but i was wondering if that doesn't work am i screwed? or is there another alternative?
Thanks.

Hi!
I damaged my Omina 7 sim card reader trying to remove a sim card that works as some kind of adpater from SIM to MicroSim.
I found the speaker & sim card module here: http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Omnia-7-i8700-SIM-Card-Tray-Loud-Speaker-p/smsng6093780.htm
Until now, this was the only place I found this part.

Hi All
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7" Model GT-P3100 I have not used it very much as I mostly use my S3. I bought it from Hong Kong, when it was tested in the shop in HK there was no issue with anything, all worked fine. I have since brought it back to England, mostly used it on wi-fi at home, then recently I decided to get a sim card to put in it to use it out and about.
When I put the sim card in, it comes up with a message box "SIM card added - Restart your device to access the mobile network - Restart" so I click restart and wait for the reload. But it doesn't recognise the sim card and still has "No SIM - Insert SIM card" within the notifications box as ongoing.
Now if I remove the sim card from the device while it is still on, it comes with a message box "SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted - Restart"
This sim card I am using has been tested in other phones and it works no problem, it is a pay monthly contract with Orange. I have also tried other SIM cards in this device and have the same response from every one.
So after doing some reading online and on this forum, I rooted the Tab and then used GalaxSim Unlock to unlock the phone, thinking it may be becasue I bought it in Hong Kong, the Tab is now unlocked but still shows the symptoms above.
Is there anything else I can do to get it to recognise the SIM or do I need to unroot it and send it back to Samsung?
Any help is gratefully received.

flash a custom rom ( stable is cm10.1.2) or a customised stock rom.I thinks it will fix your prob
It is not a ROM related problem.
Go to your network operator and have your old sim card replaced with the new one (with the same number if you want). Sometimes, an old sim card just don't work with newer service. G' luck..

Thanks to you both, the sim card is new, only 2 months old. I have just flashed CM10.1.2 and not only does it not recognise the sim card, I also can't do anything as the android keyboard crashes all the time.
I am going to try to reboot with the latest nightly to see if that helps.
I am now running the latest CM 10.2 from 21.8
The SIM is still not recognised and now my PC is not recognising the Tab either.
When I first plugged it in it came up with installing drivers for Google Galaxy Nexus?? Is this normal
Hi this is the same problem I have on mine,I am starting to think it is the card reader that is the problem ? which wont be a easy job to replace for me
Might be hardware problem
use triangle away to wipe binary on downloadmode then install a stock rom and contact service center to repair it under warranty (if your device have warranty)
Just flash a different modem

Please, I need help.
I just bought a Galaxy Tab 7.7 used, and i tested when I went purchase with another boy, and everything was ok, SIM Card normal functioning.
Once I got home, the SIM card does not work anymore, it does not recognize the SIM card and recognizes no other.
Has no 3G network anymore.
Please, is there anything I can do?
ROM Stock 4.0.4
Check there is no obstruction in the SIM card slot and clean.
If you haven't done anything to the device, I'd return it if possible. The seller should be reasonable about it.
