My Kaiser has refused to recognise my T_Mobile uk sim card. The T-mobile card works well with any other phone. My kaiser also works well with other sim cards from 3, orange and vodafone. My kaiser was unlocked last month. Pls help. T-Mobile has accepted to change the card for £10.
Did it used to work?
We upgraded a number to a number of Kaisers some months back - kept the existing SIM cards that we had been using. All was fine but then when one Kaiser died, we got a replacement and the SIM card which was working fine (and was by now probably two+ years old) in the now dead Kaiser, refused to work in the new one. Worked fine in other phones.
Took it in to a T-Mobile shop and they replaced the SIM card - all then fine.
Hope that helps.
Sounds like it's an old T-Mobile sim card. If so, get it swapped. Should sort your problem. If not, then I don't know what to suggest. Have you tried another T-Mobile sim?
Happened to me when I got a T-Mobile PAYG SIM last week to trial for data coverage.
Popped SIM in and worked well.
I then tried a Vodafone Sim and that was ok.
When I put the T-Mobile SIM back in - I got the message "no SIM found"
Tried Orange and Vodafone and they both gave the same message !
I was not convinced the SIM'S were making good contact - there seemed too much movement under the flimsy metal crossbar.
The solution to get the T-Mobile and other SIM's working was to insert a small piece of paper on top the SIM as you slide it under the metal crossbar.
This puts a little bit of extra padding on top of the SIM to help make decent contact.
I suppose the paper could be put on top of the crossbar instead to achieve the same effect but have not tried this.

i like to know if there is room enough above the sim to use a duosim from duosim.xcom ?
Anyone an idea?
come on , is there any room to place a dual sim ?
Oh, wow. That stuff looks cool. Now I'm curious too.
Yes, there should be room enough.
So, I've tried it and yes it fits but it doesn't work.
The TD has 8 connections to the SIM card and the Magic Sim (www.dual-sim.nl, 16th cut version) has 6 connections. It is 16th gen card which they propose to use for smartphones....
It works on my old Nokia 6021. This phone has 6 connections to the SIM Card.
The cutted SIM Card doesn't work anymore on the TD so I have to purchase a new one. I have sent a mail to dual-sim.nl. I will post the outcome.
number of contacts is irrelevant. Only 6 contacts are used for sim cards, the last 2 are RFU (reserved for future use).
If i read you right, after you cut up your sim card it doesnt work anymore? even directly in the phone without the dual sim? If thats the case your broke your sim while cutting it. The dual sim may or may not work still.
The cutted SIM doesn't work in the TD but does work in the Nokia 6021.
The Magic Sim doesn't work in the TD but does work in the Nokia 6021.
So, my assumption was that the cut is the reason that the SIM card doesn't work anymore on the TD. Strange that it still works in the 6021??
No, there is an incompatability between the magic sim and the touch diamond it sounds like. Only 6 contacts on the sim are used, the last two do nothing.
So if it works fine in your 6021 and not the TD, then its the magic sim that has the problem.
What error do you receive? no sim/insert sim?
SIM card is seen, Magic Sim program is available in teh TD but it doesn't register to the network.

Hmm thats really strange. What happens when you manually register?
It lists the available networks. KPN (my provider) in one of the them. If I try to connect to this netwerk the same thing occurs: can't register... I can try another network (roaming)?
Hmm that means the IMSI is not being passed corectly.
Sounds like a bug with the multisim itself. Another brand might work.
Not all new USIM cards works fine.
Put your phone on GSM mode instead of WCDMA or Auto.
Then the Dualsim works fine.

Due to your questions I tried it again and came to the conclusion that the cutted SIM card didn't work in the TD because it didn't contacted completely. I also saw a different kind of slide for the Magic Sim which leads to a better contact of the Magic Sim to the TD and now everythong works!!
Thanks someone1234 for taking the effort ask further

Thats great! no problem.
Does the Dual-sim 16th gen. non-cut version also fit into the TD?
I don't think my employer will appreciate it if I would cut my KPN sim-card of my company phone...
anyone tried the 20th gen dual sim adapters yet?
Hey guys...I sold my Tilt and they buyer said when they inserted their SIM it wouldn't recognize it. I flashed the newest Hyperdragon ROM before I shipped the device, and everything seemed to be working fine. The buyer went to ATT store where they tried other SIM cards, but none worked in the Tilt.
It worked fine with my SIM, which I'm using now in my Fuze. Any ideas what would be causing this? Thanks
i have the same problem too. i'm new to this kaiser/tytnII.
i bought it used from a guy. at first i was able to use my simcard on it. But after using it for 2-3 days, the phone failed to detect my simcard.
i tried with other simcards and it worked fine.
* i think the previous owner flashed with hyperdragonIII ROM, when it boots it says hyperdragon III omnia
Had the same problem. I take my sim card out of my blackberry and put it into my tilt and it recognizes nothing. I take tthe sim out of the tilt back into the Blackberry and works perfectly. I flashed Hyperdragon III ralpheal and blackstone. I finally went back to an at&t based one. Originally when I had dutty's rom or Schapp the sim worked fine
i have just recently bought a unlocked tilt (i don't think it was ever flashed before because the seller didn't know whats flashing)
however, at first, it couldn't read my sim card at all even though my sim works perfectly on my wing. so i took it to a cellphone place across the street and their sim card worked on the tilt, in the end, i just had to pay an extra 20 bucks to get a new SIM card. it is also a better idea to flash without the sim card in the phone!

True, I always notice better reslults flashing without SIM and microSD intalled.
I don't know what happened, but the buyer emailed me and said they went to another ATT store and got it working. I'll see if I can find out what the ATT rep did to make it work...

Is the sim card for Orange as well? Could be a case where the phone requires unlocking.
hi thanks for that yes the sim card is for orange as I have an orange phone already which it works ok in
Is the phone brand new, or second hand. Try blowing into the sim tray incase there is any dust on the contacts. Also give the sim a wipe.
go to your orange shop and ask for a new simcard.
have had the same problem here with my phone: after a few weeks, my simcard wasn't recognised any more. Got a new card, and all works fine again...
I'm having a really weird problem with my XDA Stellar, worked fine for over a year and then suddenly it said No SIM inserted.
Took the SIM out, tried it in another phone - it worked ok.
Used a different SIM in my Stellar - it worked.
Put the original SIM back in - no sim card inserted!
Contacted o2 for a replacement SIM
Inserted and it worked - hurray, for about 24 hours!
Now its back to saying no SIM inserted and as before the SIM works in other phones and other SIMs work in the Stellar.
Anyone any ideas what's going on!
Try cleaning the sim card contacts with a rubber & also try putting a bit of paper/thin cardboard behind the sim so it is pushed onto the contacts in the sim holder better.
Have some threads on this, bit of a known issue.
Do a search if you want more details.
Ahh, many thanks Mister B, the piece of paper did the trick!
I have just bought an LG P880 and to my horror found that it does not work with my sim card.
Here are the details:
Three Sim card (GA6047) monthly contract
LG P880 unlocked
I have tried the following sim cards and they do work
O2
Orange
I have tried a factory reset and a hard reset with the Three sim card in and out, each time it fails to detect it.
I have tried the Three sim card in the following phones and it does work
HTC 7Pro
Nokia N900
Samsung Galaxy Europa (The phone it came with)
While waiting for Three customer services I tried the Three sim card out of my mobile broadband GA6029 and was shocked to find that it did work.
So here i am with two three sims, one works with the phone, the other doesnt not.
All three said was to go to a shop so they can see it for themselves.
Do any of you have any ideas?
3G is activated? :silly:
Get a new SIM-card ... But it's best if you go to a three store and try one of their sim cards first. Pretty sure it will work. Maybe the sim card batch you got is faulty somehow and just not recognized by the phone. Exchanging the simcard shouldn't cost you anything if there's a technical problem.
Strange. My three sim works. It's a micro sim in an adapter. Maybe there is an alignment problem?

With android I don't know...
With the old K990 I just had to flash with an open firmware.
I have full size three sim works fine, but make sure data is enabled or you won't get a signal...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Ok, so an update.
I went to the three store yesterday. They let me try one of their demo sims and that worked. So they gave me a new sim. But once the sim activated, it yet again didnt work. Same as before though. The sim works in several other phones.
Does anyone know about different sim types?
The sim is a normal mini sim. But i am guessing that their are diferent sims for different phones?
Try microSIM from three. Maybe it helps.

I had the same problem with italian sim. I discovered that pulling the sim 1mm over the battery solve the problem. Maybe the contacts of the reader and the ones of the sim are not at the same distance when the sim is full inside the reader.
Hope will help

i am not sure its FULL size, since that includes the sim tray which in early 90s and forward was a complete card with simchip you could push out
the regulars or todays sim are mini-sim cards.see more here
