Can't make calls

Hi, I've recently got an Xda2 and had all the fun of trying to get it to unlock. having followed all the info on the web and runnung an unlock program on the phone itself, I can insert my SIM, enter the code and all looks fine....but i'm unable to make or receive any calls. Also, I dont sem to be able to find any contacts. Very confused! The SIM works fine in my other phone?? Any words of wisdom would be very welcome at this time,
Many thanks in advance

maybe you could try to use another sim to see if the xda is incompatible with that sim cards it's not unheard off

OK.....this is a bit wierd. I've tried another SIM, still vodafone, but its about 2 years old. It works! Why? Whats the difference between my vodafone SIM and a 2 year old vodafone SIM?

ask vodafone i know that 3 made it so their sims only worked in utms phones maybe vodafone also found a way to block other phones

Help!! Error message and sim problem....

Help!! I have a Kaiser through O2 UK which is known as an O2 XDA Stellar. I didn't actually use the phone much yesterday but did send my boyfriend a text at about 1.30 which he got. When I later checked my phone at about 7pm, I noticed that it had no reception so just turned it off and on again - when the Windows Mobile screen came up, I then got an error box saying "Phone not allowed mm #6". I restarted again and soft reset a few times, but no luck. I then thought that I might as well do a hard reset...that worked fine but still getting the error message and no reception!
Decided to ring o2 who were very helpful (bless them!) and got me to do all the stuff I had already tried...no reception and still the same error. I then tried a vodafone and orange sim in my phone which both worked no error!! A ha we all thought - it must be the sim!...Off I trundle at 8pm last night to our local shopping centre to pick up a new sim...got sim back, put it in phone wait for it to be activated and then the same error and no reception!! Both o2 sims work in another phone :-( Have no decided that my phone hates o2 sims for some reason :-( Have phone O2 this morning and they need to send my phone off to be repaired...I can have another phone from o2 on loan if i pay a deposit!...
Does anyone know of anything I can try before I resort to sending my baby off to some far away o2 land??? :-(

[Q] My phone reboots when it is called!

Hi!
I have had my Touch Pro for about 18 months without any issues. I bought it SIM free and then inserted a SIM only SIM from O2.
Last week I moved to a SIM only deal from Vodafone. Now my phone reboots itself intermittently. This occurs during calls and when an incoming call is ringing it. I have never seen this behaviour prior to switching to the Vodafone SIM.
Things I have already tried...
- Getting a replacement SIM from Vodafone. This behaved the same way.
- Factory resetting the phone. This did not fix it.
I believe that I have a healthy phone and a healthy SIM. Any ideas about why they would not play nicely together?
Can it really be that this phone doesn't work on Vodafone? If so I might need to move back to O2, which would be crazy.
Thanks in advance.

update
I have now moved back to O2 and my phone works perfectly again. Obviously, this is very strange!
Can anyone out there explain this?
Regards,
Adam

at least u know what 2 do when u want 2 restart your pda...just phone yourself.
Actually...i have no creative comments at all. Sorry.

Just had SIM unlocked and now have no network

I bought my Desire S from eBay which was Orange SIM locked and Orange branded.
After messing about with custom ROM's I set it back to S-ON and flashed the UK Orange RUU. It was working with an Orange SIM that I have, but rarely use.
I went to a high street phone unlocking guy earlier today and paid for him to unlock it. I didn't see exactly what he did, but he put a SIM in it and may have connected it to a small unlocking device. I asked him 'I can put any SIM in, yeah?' once he'd finished and he said yeah. I went to a nearby coffee shop and sat down, swapped the Orange SIM (which had a signal) with my giffgaff/o2 SIM and I also got a signal. 'great' I thought, 'his unlocking trick worked!'.
I put my giffgaff SIM back into my Galaxy S for the journey home, since I've got that all set up how I like it, and I put the Orange SIM that I don't use back into the Desire S.
Now that I'm home neither SIM is working
I thought to myself 'did the guy only temporarily unblock my phone?' but that can't be right because when I was sat in the coffee shop I rebooted the phone at least twice, if not three times, when I was swapping SIM's so a temporary fix would've been cancelled out then.
Is it because I tried to use a giffgaff/o2 SIM with an Orange branded RUU ROM? Would that have done something to my radio?
It sometimes displays 'limited service' on the lockscreen and displays 'no service' on the unlock screen bar.
I've tried switching it to GSM only in the menu's.
Should I S-Off the phone and flash a custom ROM to try and rectify the situation, so that I can use any SIM in the phone?
Could it be that his special SIM has dirtied the contacts in my phone?
It worked about 3 hours ago

Update:
I just picked it up and then noticed that I had a signal on giffgaff!
The signal has gone again but at least the SIM is working. Either there are local network troubles of the radio I'm using is not too good.
I'm going to go ahead and S-OFF, root and custom ROM to see if that helps signal strength.
Will a custom ROM install update the radio, or do I have to specifically flash a new radio?

So have you tried to use SIM in another phone?
I had same kind of issue. I called to customer service and they said that try SIM in another phone, then put it back to my phone and that solved the problem!
So I was changin my service provider and tested a new SIM in my phone(wasn't in operation yet) and then switched back to old SIM, then "no network". Randomly gave some signal but only few seconds at time.
Sorry for my english.. May be that I missed some points of your text But hopefully I helped!

com.android.phone error

i have 2 phones one i us most of the time one is for drunk nights out etc bc i dont want my other one to get lost damanged stolen.
the 2nd phone is lg optimus black p970.
its been working 100% fine.
i havent used it for about a week.
tongiht i go to use it and keep gettin the com.adroid.phone error.
i have NO IDEA why.
i havent updated anything new (apps) i have updated the software or anything.
a week ago i powered it off and it had been working fine. all i did tonight was power it on, went to send a text and it gives me that error. the same with whatapp. dl'ing apps works.
any idea what it could be & why its happened? how to fix?
the phone is NOT rooted its entirely stock standard. (i dont want to root either.)

i'm on O2.
tried the phone with another sim (also o2) and it works fine.
but i dont understand because i have used the phone with my usual o2 sim card before like 1 week ago.
powered the phone off with that sim inside. used the sim in another phone for 1 week now put it back in lg and power on and get that error.

just a bump.
i was given a new sim card from my network provider but the error still exists.
i've done a factory reset of the phone and its still getting the same error.
COM.ANDROID.PHONE

i dont understand why its only that sim card. the sim works fine in my other 2 phone but on the other hand every other sim i've tried (a different o2 one,t-mobile & orange) all work in the phone that gives me the error with my usual sim.
i cant determine is it the phone or the sim. the sim works wiht other phones, the phone works with other sims :$
could it be my phone number causing the problem.
