Hi,
when I turn my diamond tells me Sim missing although it is inserted.
Does that mean sim is locked? How do I find out which operator has blocked the phone?
thank you
hmmm
You shoudnt be getting that at all - make sure its making contact - secondly try it in a few other phones and thridly do other sim cards work in your diamond?
i had the same problem, because the sim you can insert both ways.
check that you don't have the sim upside-down, the cut edge should be near the battery and not to the bottom, i hope you understand what i mean
Thank you very much.
the sim was not turned and I noticed I was!

hi all,
my new kaiser say sim is missing.
i tried replacing the sim card with others but nothing...i have reset it a lot and hard reset it and nothing ....
please help me....
Benny - you are of course hoping that we can say "Hold down this button and it all will work". Unfortunately this is a hrdware error. You are going to have to take the phone back to the person that you purchased it from and have them help you.
You do not give us much to go on - has this been working for a long time? Is it a NEW SIM? Did you justpurchase it - did you get it from AT&T? Who?
Your best bet is that you purchased it recently from a reliable merchant that will honor the warranty and make it work or give you a new phone.

Have you tried your Sim in another phone?
Just to rule out wether its the sim or the Kaiser
Did you flip the giant toggle switch on the side that says SIM ON/OFF???
oh is it just mine that has one?
I had that and bent the metal bar that holds the sim card in place so it puts more pressure against the sim, and hey presto. Been fine since.
Cheers

I had that and then discovered that I put the SIM in backwards. D'oh!
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?
i have a problem with my diamond. It only reads my sim card, wont read any other sim card that is inserted. It was originally using XOR morna rom, done a new flash and still same problem. Re-flashed with a original HTC rom, but still same problem. I some how think its not a software problem as it has been flashed/hard-reset numerous times.
Any one know what problem can be or if anyone has same problem, with solution
thanks
kerim
Mmmm...
When you say it only reads 'your' SIM card, do you mean it's SIM locked. If you're on vodafone for instance, and you put another vodafone SIM in, does it recognise that? Or do you mean it won't allow any other SIM at all... even if the network's the same?
If it's the first option, your device is obviously SIM locked, if it's the second option, have you installed any security software like Ultimate Theft Alert, or similar, which will also block any other SIMs??
its not sim locked, it was an unbranded phone when i first got it. I am on three and have tried 3 different other three sim cards and also a vodaphone simcard, non of them work.
Its like there is no sim card at all. Im starting to thinbk its a hardware problem not software as i have flashed it few times now with different roms
any ideas, i need to get this working urgently
Mmmm...
Definitely sounds like a hardware issue to me. It's probably time to send it away
Hey Kerm when you put the sim cards does it ask you for for the pin??? or what you could do is see if you can try to clean the sim contact in your phone or run a eraser over the sim card contact and see if there is a difference
had a problem with an unreadable sim-card a few months ago as well; A new sim-card solved my problem... But since you are having trouble with 3 different cards, it might be a hardware problem in your case indeed.
doesnt ask for any pins, as soon as the phone starts up with another sim card inserted, it says no sim card. When it starts up with mu simcard inserted, phone function runs as normal, i can see reception bars etc
I had the same problem when i received my diamond. Tried several sim cards but none was recognized.
I received a new phone because it was a hardware failure.
Sounds like mu has a way of making a new kinda sim lock that only works with there phones ,I would digg a lil deeper and make sure its not a sim lock on your phone
what do you mean by MU, couldnt make it out. How can i find out about if its been sim locked

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...
Hello guys. I bought a s21 ultra 9980 512gb.
However, i cant use it with sim card as its not detecting the network. I dont get it what could be the problem. I cant even untick the automatic network search as i get error.
Will post you guys here some photos maybe you can help me out. I dont think is locked because i dont get any message when i insert sim to enter the unlock code. What could be the problem?
Please help. Thx
Are you sure its an active sim card?
Yes. I have the card in an iphone as its my current sim..

Is the Samsung running official FW?
Yes… original .
do you still have the imei number present in the settings and if you type *#06# ?
Might be sim locked by the carrier, you could theoretically still use the esim I believe if it isn't giving you an option to enter an unlock code.
Yes.. both imei show up.
How can i check for sure its sim locked?
Also, when i insert any sim, for one second the “no signal sign” near the battery goes away then comes back instant.. and it doesnt ask for any pin…
Thanks for your inputs
I have read about this issue before as well. Is this a "dual sim" model? Try the other slot if it is, and also try leaving the sim in and rebooting. You could also try "reset network settings" under settings. I'll have a look to see if I can find the thread where people said they had a fix.
is it yours from brand new? and have you checked to see if it black listed? also, there seems to be an issue with some Samsung where they are forced into airplane mode the only way you see this is the notification panel the airplane model toggle is half-lit blue I could be something to do with that. Failing that it could also be if you have dropped the device the ribbon may have come loose as this is a common issue with Samsung a range and that's all I'm seeming to fix lately
Hello. No, didnt buy new. I got it used.Yes its dual sim model. It doesnt appear as blacklisted.
Its not in airplane mode for sure. Also i did factory reset and also wrote all stock firmware ap cm bl csc from samfirmware..but its the same as before.
Also, esim doesnt show up under the sim card manager.
try *#2263#* to change bands, or *#0011#
Maybe also try to put the sim in the other slot, and see what happens. If all the same, try someone elses SIM card for a minute to see. Maybe your sim has become slightly damaged but your iphone still manages to read it, while for some reason the s21 is not managing.
Just tried the sim in my sisters s20 and works. Also tried her sim into this new phone and same . Even if i put in sim1 or sim2.

Found this online:
"In Settings go to network mode and set this to 3G only. Then restart your phone. This works in my case."
Thanks for your sugestion. But its the same…
I had the same issue on single sim korean unit...but factory reset resolved the issue. Actually i used to disable carrier apps which was causing this issue.
