I have a xda11s i have used the sim unlock tool it works but its not leting me phone out or letin me get incoming calls i think it is that i am using a pay as u go sim on a post paid phone is their any way i can get it from postpaid 2 prepaid
thanks
I don't think that sim and/or phone can be prepaid/postpaid. This is GSM netowor invoicing system, and has nothing to do with phone nor SIM.
Insert your SIM into different phone and check, if you have same problems. If so, call your operator.
I use Cingular Go (Prepaid) with my SX66 ... no issues at all. You may have some issue specific to your sim (it may be corrupt or damaged). Just my thoughts on it.
it not depends on payment type...simlock means, that the phone is coded that it'll accept sim from the network provider who sold the phone...
I just got the Tilt and have unlocked it but I had to use my spare Roger's Sim Card for the Tilt to recognize the sim card. The Tilt doesn't recognize the T-Mobile sim card when I insert it. On my other phones it will read it. The sim card is about 3 years old, not sure if the Tilt only accepts larger size sim cards or what. Is there any way to fix this?

How did you unlock it?
It's not necessarily larger sim cards, but 3G sim cards if you need to use 3G. But it shouldn't affect your voice signal.
I inserted a different Sim card other than AT&T, asked for the unlock code and I entered it. Unlock was sucessfull but only with the Roger's sim card, I use that when I travel to Canada. My primary carrier is T-mobile, anytime I insert the T-mobile sim, the tilt says the sim card is missing. I thought there was something wrong with the actual sim card but I just placed them in my K800i and w810 phone and saw the sim card with no problem. I don't care for 3g since T-mobile doesn't support it yet.

Did you try to go into network under the phone settings, and select automatic?
It is set to automatic, the problem is that the Tilt believes there is no sim in the slot when the sim card is in the slot.
if the sim is 3 years old it maybe the sim is actually too old for newer devices
we have found this with some devices with some vodafone devices.
I work on all mobiles (In the US) for a living and due to the old SIM revision, it is too old to be recognized in newer devices software. If you go to the T-Mobile store and buy a new SIM for $15 they will move your service to the new SIM and the Tilt will read it.
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?
Hi, all,
I have a quick question:
I was in Smith, Nevada recently, using a G1 with a Tmobile SIM card, and the phone did not get service. However, the phone did say that there was an ATT network present, and my friend's phone got reception just fine. However, when I tried to manually switch to the ATT network on my phone, I got a message saying that the sim card does not allow me to register on the network. How can I make the phone register on the ATT network when there is no Tmobile service?
Thanks,
Tekgek
Allow roaming? Best answer I got.
You could buy a cheap pay as you go att phone and swap the sim in yours.
Errrm, I think roaming is enabled. Is there a hack or something that can override the sim card's programming?
My daughter is using unlocked Lumia 928 with a prepaid SIM card.
Everything went really fine until she spent all of her balance and I had to loan my second SIM card (not prepaid) to her.
OK, after a while I purchased her some more balance and she placed that prepaid SIM card to her phone. The phone asks for SIM pin code but there's no network coverage at all.
OK, I loaned my second SIM card (once again) and the phone worked just OK.
Then I took that prepaid SIM card and tried it to another phone. Worked without any problems.
So somehow that Lumia 928 won't accept that prepaid SIM card anymore after trying another SIM card. I've tried both soft and hard resets but nothing seems to work. Any hints how to solve this problem and make this Lumia 928 to accept prepaid SIM cards once again???
