hello just got second hand nokia 6070, inserted my orange PAYGO sim card, message read "SIM card registration failed". is it locked?, was possibly on O2 or T mobile. Imie 352742/01/755940/3 can you help please
If the Orange sim works, in a different phone, then the 6070 could have been reported lost or stolen, that's why your "sim card registration failed", I would say the phone is unlocked to see that message, if the phone was locked you would see "phone resticted".
thanks for earlier reply have now tried friends original sim back in phone, but still get same message, "sim card registration" failed, she used t mobile and O2. everything else is working on phone just got no network services to anyone
Blacklisted!! Different networks blacklist handsets in different ways: Orange & O2: If you place an active orange or O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you phone will not show any signal strength at all! If the handset is a Nokia then a "SIM card registration failed" message will also be displayed. If your handset is an Ericsson then an "Invalid Mobile" message will be displayed. For most other manufacturers the handset will simply show no signal! Vodafone & T-Mobile If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!
