I have just bought a new HTC Touch Pro, but when I inserted the SIM card, it wasn't recognised. The phone shows "No SIM". My SIM works fine on my old XDA IIi. I tried a spare old SIM card on the Touch Pro and it worked (so I did insert my SIM right).
I restarted the phone, removed the SIM card and inserted it again and again but no luck !
I noticed that the old SIM which worked with TP has a bigger yellow part (the active part whatever it's called). I don't know if this is related to the problem.
Please help !
Anyone? Please help
Solved!!
Hi, buddy!
I have a samsung captivate and I was having the same trouble.
I'm brazilian and my sister send me the phone unlocked from US.
It had been working well for 5 months.
When I changed the SIM it has began asking me for the code(??!). It was programed for not asking PIN code so I got surprised. I typed my code several times until get the phone locked.
I spent more than 2 weeks to find the solution: Galaxy S Unlock, a free program available at the Market. It's necessary to root and install Busy Box (I installed mine with Titanium Backup).
Try something close to this for your device!
I hope this can be usefull!
Hi All,
I have found myself locked out of the 3 network as my phone suddenly will no longer connect after 10 days. 3 admits that they block people from using non-3 locked phones on their network and have advised me to fork out for a 3 handset...
I have unlocked my phone (Kaiser), flashed the ROM, etc. as per the tools here, with no problems. So, my question is this:
Can I lock the phone to the 3 UK network by setting the correct code in the KaiserUnlock program to make it work again? Does anyone know what the code is?
Help with this would be much appreciated!
Sounds to me like they screen imei numbers on their network, it is possible to change ur imei but it is illegal.
i could be wrong about this, i'm not familiar with '3' but we will not be discussing the topic of changing imei numbers. If i see anything about it i will close the thread and send some people's account on vacation.
I'm not interested in changing the IMEI for obvious reasons, but trying to find out if there's another way around it.
when the first time you buy your kaiser, does your 3 works?
if you are using custom ROM now, just try go back to original ROM,.
Or try your SIMCard to another phone, to check wheter its the simcard problem,.
i am waiting for your report,.
EDIT: Have you try THIS ?
Thanks for your response.
It is originally a Vodafone v1615 (KAIS 130), now just over a year old. I have unlocked it using KaiserUnlocker.
Everything on it was working absolutely fine (phone, web, skype etc.) for 10 days, both with an official ROM and the 15+ custom one's I have tested.
To find out if it was 3 blocking my phone I tested:
1. If my 3 SIM works fine in a genuine 3 phone.
2. If another 3 SIM would work in my phone.
That all works fine, so, it must be 3 blocking my phone on their network.
I have reverted back to an official ROM as well as SPL, but still no joy....

Complain to 3 customer service?
I think (although I may be wrong) that your contract with 3 doesn't forbid you from using the SIM card in another device, so they have no right to block that device/SIM combination.
I have already spent the best part of an hour discussing this with their "customer service" department, but they are relentless. They say that their SIMs are only guaranteed to work on phones supplied by 3.
if you get desperate you may try the "hardware" unlock sim card. They are an actual sim card that you put in your phone.
Thanks for your suggestion! I didn't even know they existed......
Hello guys,
Im coming at you for a question which I can't have any answer.
I bought a Note10 Plus in October to somebody on the web, the phone was brand new (on its original sealing and packaging) and working perfectly. I was first on Three network, the phone worked, then I switch on GoMo, working perfectly too. On the 10th of November I traveled to Japan with a local sim card (Docomo) and same, all working. But yesterday, I came back to Ireland where I live, and still as of today, the phone show me 'SIM 2 not allowed'.
The phone is unlocked, I've checked with the Samsung support and they confirmed it (but didn't bring me helpful troubleshooting steps). I've contacted my carrier too who said that there is no issue on my account, and they will send me a new sim card too.
I'm not expecting it to work though, as the SIM card is working on the iPhone X of my gf, and her sim card is not working on my phone too. So it's only on my Note 10+.
I've tried to remove the sim and reinsert it, restart it, reset network settings, check the date and time, nothing to do, all go to the same error.
After making research, I tried to check some IMEI Blacklist check websites, but I don't trust them as I don't know where these infos comes from, but one catch my attention because it told me that the phone was blacklisted : https://www.imeipro.info/
All the others says that the phone is clean. Again, that's why I don't really trust it, and my carrier didn't mention any block. I'm still curious why my phone appear as blacklisted so I send them an email to try to know more.
I receive signal too, but can't send/receive calls or text, and I don't have access to data neither.
So now I have my phone with no any SIM working, and I don;t know what to try to get my phone working again.
I think I've explained all I did today, I don't know what to do more, I don't have any idea of what's going on with the phone, that's why I need your light to see if you can help me to find a way.
Thank you guys, I hope to hear from you soon!
From the sounds of it, it sounds like it's been blacklisted, that's my guess. Do you get any message when you insert the sim? I had a similar thing happen to me, turned out the guy I bought the phone off on Ebay didn't pay he's bill and phone wouldn't text or make calls anymore. O2 was the company that barred the phone, and they couldn't help me even though I had proof I'd purchased the phone from the guy, only he could sort it out as it was he's account. Anyway thankfully PayPal came to my rescue, they just needed proof it was blacklisted, carphonewarehouse did a check and printed out the results for me thankfully as I knew the guy that worked there. I got a refund and promised myself I'd never buy a phone off Ebay from a personal seller, if its a business account then maybe. Awful experience though. I hope you get this sorted.
I'm guessing you've never rooted the phone or flashed it as that can sometimes delete the efs folder which causes the phone to have no imei.
Thanks for your answer !
No usually I root all my phones but this time I wanted to keep it as normal, because tthe phone looks like there's nothing more to improve to me (except a little bbit the camera when the light is low..)
I didn't knew that it could cause such things ! I should have done that
Honestly that was the first time I bought the phone to somebody, and more of that, the phone was sealed on the original plastic with the label ''eu sim card only''. So I was trusting it, even if I know, that doesn't mean it's safe behind that.
Since I've posted the message, I contacted few carriers, like mine GoMo, and they dont know anything about the blacklisting (I was surprised) then I contacted Three, they told me that the device does not belomg to the; so they can't check.
I tried Eir, and they refused to give me infos for data protections, which I think is stupid because the phone is not a personal information who could reveal an identity but anyway. I didn't though about Carephonewarehouse, I will visit them because it seems like this is the best idea.
The weird thing to me is still that it didnt worked suddenly... I was in the flight and this is when I came back that it didn't worked. Well, maybe that was a bad hazard.
Something I've discovered yesterday more of that is when I have this issue, turning off the 4G and only allowing 3G/2G will allow me to use the data. Still no phone or text, but the phone is detecting the H+ signal and I'm free to go on the web.
Yes for your question, the issue happened instantly when I insert the card on the SIM1 with the error SIM not allowed, the SIM 2 slot works perfectly, that's what I'm using for the moment but I can't use any SD card at the same time, so it bother me. :/
Thanks for sharing your experience, then I know a little bit fore of what to do. I wanted to go to the police but I don't want to spend 2 hours there. Maybe I'll think of it as a last resort...

I just came from Japan as well I had the same problem but with my Sony Xperia 1.
I bought it from the states and I took vacation to Japan and used their sim card.
When I came back here in Florida I switched back to my at&t sim card I couldn't make calls or texts only data works for some reason I tried everything I used sim card on other phones (sim card is fine)
I tried everything, nothing worked !
I factory reset the phone and it worked, fixed the problem (it's strange because I used Galaxy s8 also with that sim card and it's working fine)
My Sony Xperia 1 had similar problem to yours
I don't know if this will help you to be honest but I had kinda same problem.
Hope you solved you issue.

Thank you for that, I've tried this yesterday after a backup, I used the sim card with the phone completly as new (well, I've restored it from the settings, so I don't know if it was the good way) and it didn't worked.
I think I will try carephone warehouse as jadaress1 requested, it might give me lot of infos there. Im also starting thinking that the phone is carrier blocked, but I can't see any reason why the phone was new and already unlocked so I don't see any reasons...
I'll let you know
Hi there, I am now facing the issue with SIM 2 not being recognized by my Galaxy Note 10. The SIM is fine as it works if I put it into SIM 1 slot, slot 2 does not seem to react at all. I've tested it working in the past with the same SIM card, just did not need to use it until now.
Question - is it possible that an upgrade from Android 10 (which I think was the OS at the time I tested the SIM 2) to Android 11 might have broken it, so could it be a software related issue, and not necessary a hardware fault? I pretty much haven't touched the SIM tray that much at all from the day I own the phone.
Thanks, please share your thoughts, much appreciated as I'm looking for a solution!
Facing Same Exact issue.. u figure out wat happened.. or just get new phone with proper 2 sim card capability
Hello..
I have my second Google Pixel 7 Pro Phone here, where the basic function (cellular) not possible.
No SIM Card - service not available is displayed as an error message.
A reset, a reset of the connections, a new SIM card brought no improvement, another pixel (Rep. by Google has the same error since this morning).
The pixel has all the latest patches, and not beta version.
When I restart the Pixel the error is gone (and all is ok) for about 6 hours or sometimes more.
i am also not the only one with this error, and the Google Support is at this Time Clueless...

If it's happening with multiple Pixel phones and multiple sim cards it has to be some form of incompatibility between your network and the phone.
Have you tried the card with another phone and the phone with another card?
Yep the Sim Card works perfect in my Xiaomi MI Note 10 pro, i have never befor any error like that.
- This is the basic function of a Phone that should always work

And I bet you if you put another provider's sim in the phone, it would work fine. You're blaming the phone exclusively and I'd say its likely a combination of the two - your provider and the phone.
Is it a sim free, unbranded Pixel 7 Pro or network branded? I also wouldn't rule out changes made to the phone by the network contributing if it's branded.
The Pixel 7 Pro is (unlocked) provider Free also Sim Free.
So the same as mine and thousands of others who don't have this issue. Put another sim card in it from another provider, I can pretty much guarantee it won't happen.
Looking at what you have said, I'd say there is an incompatibility between your network and the P7P. But it's not something you can blame the phone for exclusively.

Pixel 7 Pro losing cellular connection and unable to reconnect
I live in Boston metro area with abundant LTE/5G coverage, but drive through two nearly dead zones, each of them lasts just a few seconds. My previous phone would not stop YouTube playback going through those areas. My Pixel 7 Pro loses...

Here's what happened with mine. Received last week of November.
Coming from a PIxel 6 Pro, straight talk (tracfone) sim on Verizon network.
Called straight talk, THEY said I needed to purchase a new sim card. Gave
them my IMEI and they said it was compatible, but you still had to buy a new
sim. On another xda thread, someone said they updated to the beta version
that fixed that issue. I upgraded to the beta and after the reboot my sim
card worked.
So now its offical..its a top reportert issue
Does your Mobile Network use Esim? If so have you asked about moving to it to see if it fixes your issue?
Never had this issue, and neither have hundreds of thousands of other Pixel 7 Pro owners. I'd still suggest it's related to a combination of the phone and network provider and not exclusive to the handset. Otherwise I'd have it too on my Pixel 7 Pro with Vodafone UK.
I had a similar problem and this is how I solved. My phone could not connect with 4g/5g. So I put the network mode on 2g/3g and then I could log in. After that I inserted manually the Internet apn. Hope this helps somehow.
I've had a working sin card for as long as I can remember
You told us: Here's how many polled Pixel 7 owners have reception issues
We asked Pixel 7 owners whether they've had reception and connectivity issues. It turns out that Google has improved matters after all.
