so my father went to boston the other day and for some reason his sim card got messed up he has an nokia its an older modle that he had for years it think its the 1110 model number will anyways they gave him a new sim card he puts it in and he gets a message saying restricted so i put my sim card in it and i get the same thing and i put his sim card in my tilt and it works fine so i think it might just be the sim card is new and the phone is so old anyone else knows what else it could be ??
update is a nokia 6230
Doesn't sound like a sim error. Could be the pone does not support the newer technolgy?
yeah i know it from the start and it was the sim card he decide to get the iphone but was really cool i saw the new htc touch pro or the fuze as att called it i played around with it and everything and its sooooo badass its so much smaller then the tilt but a lil heavyer it takes really good pictures a big improvement from the tilt and it also comes with opra ready on it which is realy nice i really like it alot and cant wait to get it next month

I just recently upgraded my 8525 to a Tilt, and gave the 8525 to my son. When he swapped his sim card from his Touch to the 8525 it would always show the signal strength with an exclamation point and the data connection had an 'X'. I tried my sim card with it, and got the same results.
I took the phone to the AT&T store and the rep said that AT&T now lets you use only the handset that you have associated with your account. He clicked on a few screens, then the 8525 was able to get and hold a connection using my sons sim card.
He said this is something that AT&T just started in the last week. So much for swapping handsets.....
this is a lie.. i swap between 8525/tilt

NOT true. My SIM works in both my 8525 and my Tilt.

man, that's harsh. Just fishing for more info. Is there something else I should have done?
More like trolling...
Think about it - what possible benefit would AT&T get by locking a handset to a SIM card? NONE! They would have a lot of pissed off customers.
Your son's card was probably disabled and he re-enabled it.
AT&T Sim cards
Might just be that your son's sim card is one of the old 56k Cingular cards and he needed to get a newer 64k card for medianet and 3g to work in the 8525. All he would have to do is call AT&T and they would send him a new card for his account. Don't be fooled by what someone that works in a AT&T store say's to you. One would assume that they know what they are talking about, that is wishfull thinking!!!
my son's sim card was not a 3g card, but mine is. the phone wouldn't work with mine either. when we went to the store we got a 3g card for my son.
i've switched sims between handsets quite a bit, but this time was the first I experienced a phone that wouldn't work. it doesn't make sense that AT&T would do something like this, that's why i posted here for your comments. and cheers to those that chimed in...thanks.
You know, when I tested your theory tonight, I noticed I had a harder time inserting my SIM into my 8525 than into my Tilt. Maybe it wasn't fully seated? The slot is configured different and I had to push harder to get it into the 8525. The first time I booted it I got no signal until I reseated the SIM.
I rarely swap SIMs so I would not notice this normally...
i work @ ATT and i can say that alot of time reps do talk out of their asses my co-workers do it all the time if they do\nt know something or they ask me.. but att hasnt been locking handsetes to sim i swap between my 8525 BJ V3x
SYNC BB pearl and slvr all the time with no problem. g/f does the same thing i do just not as many phones as i do
Hello
I have been hanging out in the wizard area but just upgraded to the tilt.
I was wondering why they were sending me a new SIM card then it hit me the Tilt is G3.
Question will it work or hurt anything to run on my old wizard SIM card till I can get to the store and get a new G3 card or does it have to have a G3 to work.
(Reason I need a new one is they got mine and my wife's numbers crossed)
No it won't hurt anything. I've used the same sim in several motorola phones, a sierra VOQ phone, a wizard and now my kaiser and never had a problem.
Thanks
Will try it
this morning i woke up and started up my phone and it said "insert sim card." the previous night i was texting and making phone calls like normal, so when i saw this tonight i was caught off guard. the sim card is in the phone and everything! i swapped the sim card into my old phone and it works fine.
any idea why my tilt wont recognize my sim card?!
thanks for your help guys!
Check ur sim on some other set, than anyone can comment on ur problem
i put it in my old nokia and the sim card worked fine. maybe its just the tilt thats messed up?
yah a hard reset didnt help either
try the sim card from a friend of relativs phone to verify if the phone is broken
ohh yeah i did that! so i suppose my phone is broken then i loved my tilt! this really sucks. but my birthday is coming up next week so ill reward myself with a tilt2
I have this same issue... My sim card is not being read by the Tilt.. I'm at work now, which SUCKS...
I'm going to have to wait until I get home to swap the simcard into another phone and put another simcard into the Tilt to troubleshoot.
anyone have solved this problem... It happened to me today!!! :-(
If I had a nickle for every post like this, I would have a hand full of candy.. YAY! CANDY CANDY CANDY
have you tried wedging some paper in there like everyone else?
hi friends. i have a very strange problem with my x1. it works well with my sim but when i insert my brother's sim card in it, it simply says "the sim card is missing". i know his sim card is good because is works on his phone. since then i have tried a couple of sim cards in it and it detects some and rejects others. i don't know why i won't detect all sim cards. i live in mauritius and i bought this x1 from uk and i think the seller unlocked it before shipping. i don't know on which network it was before. i have tried many custom roms, the problem remains. has anyone encountered a problem like this before? thanks for your help.
i'm sorry this should have been in the general section.
MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion
i have same crap . my sim card is missing.
So, i called se service center and they told that the phone will be exchanged.
and i can choose u1 satio or x2 sense they did not have x1 in stock.
Whot should i choose?
X2 sense? sense ui is from htc. i think you mean xperia x2. well it depends on how you use your phone. if you like winmo then better get the x2. but if you want a fast interface and excellent camera then go for the satio. both are great phones. its a hard decision to make. it's up to you to decide.
i have a problem like this
sometimes my X1 signal becomes very weak and after 5 second it became strong again
i try lasets official ROM and thi same problem
now i instal old Radio-s but thi same reason
tomorrow i will try to change SIM card hope it will fix this problem.
and also anyone know what ind of simphtoms have phone when someone is listening to your Call-s?
`Sorry for my bad engish
had that issue with all HTC phones I had some older sim cards are simply not compatible with HTC's sure fix was to get a new sim from the phone company
well , i tryed 3 sim cards that work in other phones, but not in my x1.
its phones fault.
i send my phone to a repair shop, they told me that maybe my phone was not fully unlocked because it was locked on a network before i bought it. i left my phone there. hope they solved the problem.

i have this problem when i activate the 3G. if i disable the 3G network the signal strength is pretty stable. but this depends on your location. in my location 3G network is not very strong.
and for your 2nd question, its impossible to know if someone is listening to your phone calls. is also very difficult for someone tapping your phone calls unless the cia, fbi,..
i've try to find similiar problem and i can't find the answer...
guys my kaiser can't read my sim card
i lose it when i use android, so i use wm 6.0 again...
the signal got well for one night, but since this morning it never read my simcard...
i've use mtty, change radio, use wm 6.1, wm 6.5 and it still can't read my simcard...
can anybody help me with this problem??
about my english please forgive me, i'm still learning...
thanks guys for your help...
Hey, I can't really help you. But the same has happened to me a few times: every time, it eventually started to work again after some time. Could be a few hours, could be a week - so be patient. I have no idea what the problem is, but at some point it started working again after I put someone else's SIM in my phone then switched back (both SIMs were of the same provider). Good luck!
you are not alone
I have exactly same problem with you.. since 2 days ago my kaiser won't read any sim card.
Actually it had happened a few weeks ago, my kaiser fell from my hands and hit the floor. After that, my kaiser stop reading sim card, but after one night it started to works again just like Cerberus_tm said.
2 days ago it happened again I really careless.. but this time until today, my kaiser still won't recognize any sim card.
I have done some reading in a few old thread about this case. I'm not sure myself but based on those thread, I can conclude that the problem could be because of the sim card doesn't make contact with card holder, or there is a problem with the flex cabble that connecting our sim card holder.
FYI, if you are interested in fixing the flex cabble, the price is about 700.000 IDR here in bandung.

Fixed my sim card no work issue
It was intermittently working so I knew I was close and yes the poor Tytn II 8925 has been dropped about 1/mth thanks to the stupid sprint magnet case that always seems to let go after I get up from a chair. I tried raising the gold contacts that touch my sim card, that did NOT work. I tired putting one layer of masking tape on my sim card, that did NOT work either. I even got a new sim card from my carrier $10, that did NOT work. Finally I tired pushing down on the steel house that holds the sim card, that worked!
Just put a piece of paper on the back of sim card while inserting it into the sim holder, my kaiser suddenly started acting like this, I slid a piece of paper at sim's back and now its working pitch perfect
Sorry Sim card error back (not fixed)
Seems to work after battery removal and 3 restarts, getting ready to dump the phone.... It works for a couple of hours, then all of sudden sim card can't be read....can't live like this.

perhaps by way of radio uprgade you can handle !! You can get more information at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
perhaps try reinsert the sim module if you are ok to open the device up? or replace the simcard module flex cable
