My TyTn II doesnt recognize my SIM card

I had bought a AT&T Tilt off ebay and in the States it works with my Cingular network. However when I travel as I am now in Greece and use the Cosmote SIM card it states that the SIM is not inserted and thus I am stuck. Cosmote runs on the 900/1800 network and Cingular runs on the 850/1900. The TyTn II is supposed to work on each and every frequency. It was supposed to be unlocked when I bought it but I don't know exactly what to do now.
Anyone help?
The Card is not even recognized, this points more to a broken SIM Card. The TyTn Can operate in all these Frequenzies and would prompt an error that this device is locked to another network if it wasn't unlocked. So this error message is more like there is no SIM Card inserted.
Have you tried it in another phone? cleaned the metallic contacts of the Chip?
Maybe you can try the unlocker program, to make shore it really is unlocked.

Try to check on Phone settings if Network selection, Type and Band are in automatic mode.

The Cosmote SIM I have for my TyTn works great in my friends K1 Motorola KRZR and his brother's RAZR...Both of which were unlocked in the US and also have greek SIM cards.
Does there need to be a special 3G SIM card inserted for the device to operate?
For the link

Its telling me I have to pay to check if its unlocked....I don't want to shell out $40 for something that "might" be done already
My v1615 (with Vodafone) showed the same error after owning the phone for 2hrs! Vodafone confirmed the device had a hardware fault and issued a replacement straight away - new handset has been fine.
I'm not saying that's the case with yours but it's already highlighted to me that the stability of these phones can be flaky at times (having been warned by several people before buying)

3G sim card compatability

I have upgraded to your windows 6 and have a rom version 7.0c40CS, thank you its great, radio version 1.17.00 but my phone provider has now upgraded my sim card to 3G and now my phone does not work, it says no service available yet the card works in any other phone! I have carried out a hard reboot but still no good, can I use 3G? or do I have to go back and reactivate the old 2G sim card?
You are using a very old rom..try this version of the shekhar's rom

Right man! singjim may need to buy a new phone with 3G support then u can use ur sim card
3g simm card
Yes I need a 2G simm card, but when I got the old 2G card re-activated by the provider ( it works in other 3g phones ) I still have no service on the network.
I have updated the ROM as recommended by Ather90 and still it does not work. I have swapped the 2G simm card with a friend and tried his in my phone and it does not work! What a coincidence that my PDA dies when I change the simm card? I'm still lost help please.

Man! upgrade is not effect ur sim card, i think ur provider doesn't support 2G network anymore. I have upgrade my Xda II almost ten times already and it still working.
3g sim card
yes Iagree, I expect sim card is OK so what is wrong with PDA? Why does a reset as complete as a Rom upgrade not reset the phone?
This is the Same Problem i had with my Previous Himalaya..It always showed "Invalid SIM Card" or "No Service"...
i pulled out all of my hairs to solve that problem but it didnt...so i had to replace it...
Does your GSM provider still have their 2G network? If yes, insert your SIM to a SE phone and try it with 3G disabled (SE got a option to disable 3G & to use 2G only). If that also works, try a 2G sim of some other GSM provider in your PPC. Here we dont have to upgrade the sim for get 3G. we can still use the old 2G sim. But to have HSPA or speeds above 512kbps, we need to upgrade to a 3G U-SIM.
re 3g simcard
i use a 3g simcard using latest c_shekhar rom.. and it works.. no problem at all, only the stk doesnt work..
3G sim card
Took it to the XDA repair man who pulled a face at the cooked rom! then reloaded windows 2003 or something very blue and it all works!!! Plus 50$ for the trouble so I cooked it again to 6.1.2a16cs and everything is fine. It seems the phone operator deliberately immobilized the phone to make me buy a new one!! be careful out there.

Unlocked SIM, but still don't work!

Hello,
I have a problem with my T-mobile MDA Vario 3.
It was first simlocked, but I unlocked it.
And it works!
But only with simcards that are prepaid.
And I want my own simcard in it.
It's a USIM from HI.
The phone detects the other simcards but not that one.
Can someone help me?

What companys Sim card is not working? Only GSM ones will work (So Nextel doesn;t work).. also, you do have to be in the coverage area.... What happens when you put in the other sim card?

[Q] Signal bars present,but says no sim card!

I also tried another sim and it had the same issue, signal bars active although it says no sim card
Help would be really appreciated !
Kudos !:laugh:

[Q] Unlocked ATT device no signal after switching SIM

Hello.
I have an Atrix HD from ATT, I bought it unlocked at Ebay. I used it with my ATT sim Card, then with Movistar in Colombia for vacations and everything was working great. Then I came back to the US, used a T-Mobile sim card and now I can not use any other sim card. The only one it accepts is the T-Mobile one and it works fine. If I pop any other sim card it gives me no signal (a white cross appears in a red circle where the circle bars should be).
My phone is rooted but I have not flashed any ROM or done anything else beyond installing Superuser and Titanium Backup. I already did an internal and an external reset and none works: The only sim card that gets signal is the T-Mobile one. Called T-Mobile and they said they cant help me since the phone is not supported.
My hint is that somehow the T-Mobile sim card switched my frequency bands. Whats funny though is that now I am in Colombia and when I insert the T-Mobile sim card and check which network is my phone connected to it shows Movistar and the signal bars are great. If I pop up my Movistar sim card it gets no signal at all.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
You must have setup the sim card lock disable that and then try putting in another sim
