my old friend the tornado is to be replaced by a kaiser. a year ago i did all the unlock and supercid procedures and worked with several rom versions and tried also another network - my tornado was a vodafone vda II once. i've been very happy with it, but i like to have those additional features of a wm professional device.
unfortunately i experianced a problem - the new sim card from hutchinson is not accepted by my dear old device. the error message is: "The SIM card is missing or is not valid. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it."
i checked with spv-Services and this reports the phone unlocked. well - and my wife is waiting for the phone - i'm sure most of you know how demanding girls can get when it comes to a new cell phone.
so please, if anyone experianced this issue and is able to provide a solution - it would be great!!!
thanx!

No other method has not worked...
flame99,
Just go to your service provider office and ask to change your SIM card for old type. There was a same problem with my HTC StarTrek and Beeline service provider.

Hi, recently bought this on eBay - doesn't seem to have any orange addons on the phone so I'm assuming it's been reset to someting else (although I have no idea how to check this).
The problem I'm having is regardless of sim i receive a "no network" message and the phone is unable to find any networks in the UK or in Norway(where I am currently on business)...
-how do I identify whether or not theres a way to make the phone see a network over here (or in the UK for that matter)??!
Any help greatly appreciated!
Terry
Sounds like the phone is broken or stolen (& got the imie blocked). For the stolen option go to an Orange shop & have them check the imei.

Hi!
I have a strange problem. My Magician had a simlock, but i wanted to unlock it, so I used this xda tool for unlocking. Probably simlock is removed, because when i put a sim card from other net provider, it accept it but find no service. My Magician is finding only one network- the one from original provider (but it should find more!). Is it some kind of lock? Please help!
Same to me, please help!
Got the same problem!
I have a german Vodafone VPA compact. But when I put a simcard from another provider in (medion-mobile) it doesn't ask about PIN or Unlock-Code, just opens Windows. It has no phone functions.
Please help! I tried to unlock it with several programs, but none of them worked.
Please, please help us.

For background, my device is a c500 (typhoon) and I've tried various roms (but I'm using the 6.1 one atm). I didn't have this problem with the stock ROM.
I find that, although the phone works and I can recieve text messages, I can't send them because the "text message service center" field is empty and if I enter anything in the box, it clears as soon as I leave the screen.
Also, trying to use the SIM manager (for contacts etc) returns the message "invalid or missing sim".
To me, this seems to be a semi-incompatible sim card. I've seen other phones with the same issue (eg here) so I don't think it's a specific phone/ROM issue. I've tried SDKCerts.cab and using a cab to install the network settings, neither worked.
Has anyone seen/fixed this before? Thanks.
have you tried another sim?
not sure about your operator but mine always send me a new sim if i so request for free
Hmm. I tried an O2 sim - works fine. Maybe it's because my sim is 3G (and the phone isn't)?
Here's a similar thread on modaco that comes to the same conclusion. If anyone else has the same problem, this is probably the solution.
just trying my luck, is there another solution to this issue yet, orange uk wont send me a 2g sim for anything so im stuck
UPDATE:
For information orange wont send me a 3g sim as the handset i should have is a 3g phone so they dont want to know
unfortunately I cant keep the phone as its no good to me
Hi boys and girls!
I have a quite hugh problem. I've just bought a chinese phone, a Miphone m88+ with Windows Mobile 6.
The phone works great, exept for one BIG thing.. I can't call =)
Let me describe the problem. I put in the SIM card in the phone, enter the pin code and the phone (most of the times) get a good signal strength and my provider shows up in the Today page. So far so good....
Now I'm trying to dial a number. It's dialing and dialing and after a short while three beeps turns up and the call ended with no success. I still have a good signal strength and it's looks like the phone has registred on the GSM system but I'm unavailable to call. Now I did a big NO NO and tried to call 112 (the european 911) and that works great! Okey, nothing wrong with the phone then.
Then I tried to reflash the phone with the ROM from this forum. The flashing went good. Back with the SIM card, perfekt signal but still no way to call. Off with the phone, on with the phone and off again and then it started to cooperate with me! The phone worked, the SMS worked! Happy! For an hour it worked perfectly and then i rebooted the device and then the phone went back to square one... BEEP BEEP BEEP...
I was thinking it might have been IMEI blocked for some reason and I have spend the last 24h to look for a IMEI changing software on the net and found a lot of them but noone works with my phone. And then again, after like 200 reboots during the IMEI tries, I could make a call, but just one and then back to null again.
My conclusion:
It's nothing wrong with the phones hardware due to I can make emergency calls.
The IMEI isn't blocked due to I can (sometimes 1 out of 100) make a call and send SMS AND I allways got my provider and a good signal strength.
I think it could/would/might be a configuration issue that Windows Mobile doesnt register to my provider.
What in the h*lls name could it be?! Any tips or hint from you guys?! Can it be the software dialer in the phone that don't like my provider?
Maybe any settings to change somewhere in the phone.. Timeouts.. ?
Is there a IMEI changing software for my phone so I can try to change it? (And NO it's not a ciminal act to do that in Sweden =) )
Please please help me!
Phone: Miphone m88+
OS: Windows Mobile 6 (Build 18165.0.5.0)
Processor: ARM926T OMAP850
Service provider: Tele2/Comviq, Sweden
SIM locked? And mount random ROM without brick the device... you are a lucky boy ^^ try with Sim of another Carrier.
D'rath
Okey...
Here's the deal...
Now I have been tried out another carrier (Telia) on the phone and the phone works perfectly. =)
Now to the problem. The Miphone don't have 3G (none of the chinese phone does)
The Tele2 SIM card is a newer card with access to both 2G and 3G network here in Sweden and the Telia card is a older card with only access to 2G.
I can use my new Tele2 card in older (2G) "normal" phones and then the card/phone just connect to 2G. But in this phone it looks like it won't work at all. Is there any settings i can change exept putting the phone on manual network selection?
I really need to use my Tele2 carrier and you can't order a old SIM card with only 2G access from the carrier =)
What to do? =)
Regards
mjuff
