Hi people,
Sorry to bother you with this, but I bet most people don't post until they have a problem!!!
I've just taken the plunge and updated the ROM on my O2 XDA IQ, and now it won't send or receive SMS! It gives me a "SIM is not valid" error message.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Or explain why it is giving me this error message? Is it because of the CID being different? Or the region of the ROM I put on?
Thanks for reading!

are you using a different sim network? i guess your phone is still sim/cid locked.
I switched to Orange, and was able to send SMS fine for a week before I changed the ROM, so it's not a problem with the SIM. Is there a way to change the phones CID back to it's original value (I made sure I noted it down before changing it to the Super-CID)?
im not sure about that. your device should be working properly. try to go over the procedures again.
Did anyone manage to sort this out? I have the same problem, with an orange sim. Cant send or receive text messages, calls are fine. The sim works fine in other phones, and other network sims work fine in the IQ. Tried both the SP5 rom and the 8310 with no luck. In call options it doesnt have the service centre numbers, but if I try and change it, it doesnt save just goes blank every time.
I would revert to the O2 rom but cant find that anywhere! I have all original CDs with the IQ I find it disgusting they dont provide the ROM. That would be like buying a PC from the shop with a windows CD!
Try to call/ask Orange Customer Service then ask for their Text Messages Center Number..write it down. Then on your phone, navigate to Start - Settings - Phone - Call Options - Text Messages Service Center, then enter the number that the Orange Rep gave to you.
That's the problem of sim being not compatible with the rom.
U need the latest rom from orange 2.0.14.0 for spv c600, on this rom this problem is solved by orange, but I don't think you would be happy with it.

I've just Ported from Orange UK to TMobile using my Tmobile Vario II phone.
The PORT has gone through successfully and people are successfully ringing and texting my Orange phone number which is now on T-Mobile.
However, when ever I look in Outlook, the To or From Address is still listed as my original T-mobile number. Also if I check the Telephone number in PhoneAlarm it states my phone number is the original T-mobile one.
I have soft reset the device with no affect. I have also uninstalled and re-installed PhoneAlarm with no affect.
I know it's a small thing but I want the correct phone number to show.
Any ideas on what to try next? Will a hard-reset work?
Thanks
Mike

Hi
I purchased my new phone a little while ago now, its an unlocked phone but was orignally on orange, I'm using a pay as you go o2 sim card in it. I found all setting for this and everything works, mms, email, IE, and GPS.
The only thing im having slight trouble with is the balance of the phone, when I send a txt or use the phone to ring some one the balance is displayed in a little message box at the top, when I ring the number 4444 I can hear the balance but the most useful feature is being able to type *#10* and view the balance. at the top in the msgbox. Anyone with a o2 will know what im talking about. When I type this number in all I get is failed and not the balance. Now I wrote to o2 about this and they said that it was basically because I had an unlocked phone and it wouldn't pick this number up. I already kind of knew this, but they provided no tech. settings, files to change etc to change this. Is there any one who knows how to get round this problem and the steps that I should take.
I guess firstly that flashing the phone to the stellars firmware would get rid of this problem, (cross fingers.) is there any reg hacks or anything like that which could be used, I do with some expert help here.
TIA

Able to receive text messages. But unable to send even a simple thank you message. I tried "factory reset" two more times, but no breakthrough. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you have a APN issue. My suggestion would be to find the APN settings from another Android device (preferably something similar to the A2) and copy them over.
If that doesn't work, try resetting one more time and starting the phone without the SIM card in and then installing the SIM card.
APN couldn't be am issue, as this is posted from my A2. Also I'm able to call and receive text msg. Moreover I got the APN settings pushed from my service provider's Web site after the first reset. That reset w/o SIM is interesting, as the SIM was kept in the phone for all resets. I'll try that.
Sometimes these sim cards can cause some very strange issues. My sim from my old OG ATRIX wouldn't work in my new A2. And neither would my gf's . But a quick trip to my nearest AT&T store and a new sim card fixed everything. If yours is bad your nearest provider should have you a new one free of charge
Figured out the same. Removed my SIM, popped in a Reliance SIM, and all three unsent msgs were auto sent (those guys will be cursing me now). Put my sim in another Moto, tried sending an sms, it didn't go. So, visiting bsnl customer care office tomorrow to change SIM. Will post then. Thank s to both of you for taking some time off to post.
Couldn't get a replacement SIM, as BSNL staff are on strike. Will try to get a new one tomorrow.
Its solved !
Didn't get a replacement SIM. BSNL customer care gave me a number as the number to be set for message center. Couldn't locate that feature in A2. Put my Sim in good old L7 and fed the message center number in outbox settings. Now message was delivered (from L7) ! Put it back in A2, composed & sent a msg, bingo, msg delivered !!
I never thought a phone could program the SIM. BTW how to do it in A2 ?
UPDATED
I´ve just been using the HTC ONE X for about 4 days and I´ve been receiving hundreds of repeated msgs from my carrier. They say "Vivo RJ 21" (Vivo is the carrier, RJ stands for Rio de Janeiro...the city, and 21 is the area code for Rio de Janeiro). I´ve already tried several factory resets with no luck. I´ve also tried a micro sim card from a different carrier and I kept receiving the same msg (except for the carrier name). I´ve received other regular msgs from my carrier and from other people that were not repeated. It´s just this one.
What are my options here????
Do you still have the same number ported over? If so then maybe it might be a glitch in there system. If not then it might be spam from the poor person before you. Either way either get a block on that or call carrier to stop it.
The worst part is that I cannot even block this number because whenever I try to add the number to the Mr.Number app it tells me to add a valid number. The number is only 2 digits...it´s 50
Looks like it would be best to either call them or go in store and ask them to test the phone. Sounds more like a software hiccup, but who know? Hope you don't have to receive that many texts tomorrow
But do you guys think there is a chance this could be phone related?
I might just try to get a micro-sim to sim card adapter and test it another phone to see if it still happens.
Its a broadcast message
U can stop it in message setting
It will not harm u
Press thanks
Or u can give me ur one x as a gift
How do I stop that in settings? I´ve tried everything and I don´t think it´s that simple.
It must be getting close to 200 messages.
Just go to your carrier already! Or if nothing works, then do a barrel roll~
Don´t you think I would have gone to the carrier if it wasn´t closed during the weekends! I´ve already called them 3 times and they did different things. The last thing they did I was supposed to wait 24h.
What is a barrel roll?
Can you remove the SIM and use the phone without it? If not then try finding some other app that blocks numbers... maybe one that supports blocking operator numbers?
as said before carrier messages can be blocked...I'm assuming a battery pull did nothing?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, just let me know how. So far I´ve tried about 7 differente text/spam blockers apps and none has worked.
The HTC One X´s batt cannot be removed.
Do you have message settings
Just check there might be option of broadcast message
Keep our forum clean
I do have message settings but there are no options there that would help me with this (only stuff like notification types, signature, forward to email, etc).
Today I´m going to the store where I got the micro sim card to have it changed. I REALLY hope it works because it would be a real shame if this was the HTC One X and not the micro sim card.
When I go to "about the phone", then "network" it shows:
operator name - unkown
signal strenght - 0
mobile network type - unkown
service state - radio off
roaming - not roaming
Nonetheless I can make and receive calls, send and receive text msgs, navigate, etc. The only issue is really the operator msgs informing my city area code over and over again.
I went to the carrier and got a new micro sim and did a factory reset WITH the micro sim card inside the phone. The date above got populated. I will wait to see if I will get anymore msgs but I think this might be it.
I´ve tried with a micro sim card from a different carrier and the problem persists. This is phone related for sure. I really don´t know what else to do...maybe try a different rom other then the stock?
I´ve called HTC again and they instructed me to do the following:
-> "settings", "call" and then disable the option "cell broadcast".
So far no msgs. Lets wait and see.
Hi
I just bought an XZs dual SIM version. I'm having a very strange issue with it.
I have two SIMs installed: one on O2 UK and the other on Three UK.
The three chip works perfectly. Can do everything, voice, data, SMS etc... all good.
The O2 chip however has a strange issue. Every phone call I make it says "Invalid number".
Even if I call using the international +XX XXXXXX type or if I call using the UK style 07XXXXX both say "Invalid number" and do not complete the call.
What is odd is that I can receive incoming calls to the number. SMS and data also works, just making outgoing calls fails.
I checked that the phone supports the bands that O2 uses and it does. It does connect to the network (as I said I can receive calls, use data, send and receive SMS but just cannot make any outgoing calls)
The phone came from Hong Kong, and both O2 and Sony have flat out refused to help because I didn't buy the phone in the UK.
But well, it's a mobile phone, it should work in my country even if it's from HK.
I cannot really understand why I can receive calls but not make them. The SIM card works in my UK Samsung S6 so I do not think it's a network issue.
I have tried setting it to GSM only as it is my work phone and I really only need it for making calls. I've tried WCDMA / 4G / 3G but nothing fixes it.
I have reset the phone. Checked carrier settings etc.
Lastly I have tried swapping the chips around, and tried it with just one SIM but still the problem occurs.
Please can anyone give any suggestions on resolving this issue before I have to send it back ?
Thanks!
never mind. i solved it.
it was a provisioning error by the network, contacted O2 today and they resolved it by doing some kind of reset their end, which they didn't want to elaborate on.
fixed now.
