How old is the malaysian SIM? It could be the wrong voltage - you may need to get the malaysian phone company to issue a new one.

Yeah, the older SIM's sometimes don't work with these new phones. Get them to issue a new one. They should do it for free, too.
Kevin
will ask for one. thanks kevin.
I have the exact same problem at the moment,
but with fixed dial sim cards.
Ive given o2 two weeks to resolve the problem or we will probably be getting our devices elsewhere. Something to do with the way the sim card is programed
oh, let me know if u have overcome this. thanks

Hi, I'm looking for a 2nd hand Universal and so I found a guy selling it for what I find a very good price... but the catch is that he says it won't be able to connect to 3G networks:
these are refurbished and we made sure that phone will work with all networks (except 3G).
What I wanted to ask is: how could this be possible? how would it be able to connect to standard 2G networks and not 3G? would it be a software issue? Would I be able to fix that?
hmm, i dont think its possible that the 3g is broken but the 2g isnt, as afaik they are the same chip. however it is common knowledge that universals wont work with the phone operator '3' (unless you have a very old sim card) o perhaps this is where the confusion is, best bet is to ask the seller.
Hope this was of some help

Thanks.... That's what I thought... Since he is a UK seller he is probabily talking about UK Operators... here in Portugal we don't have problems with using unlocked phones bought from other operators.. even though Vodafone do use newer CompV2 SIM cards (though I still have a old CompV1)

I must have been misinformed, i was under the impression that 3 used different sim-cards and so couldnt be compatable with non-3 phones.
Sorry to be posting as soon as I registered, but I'm in a hurry to get this done with or else I might get into a fight with the guy who sold me the Nexus One (he claimed its unlocked)...
Anyway I bought the phone, put in my sim-card, tried installing my contacts from the SIM and it Locks.
I use any other SIM card and it works, mine doesn't...However I unlock the phone using the steps provided in the forum...Now I can install any SIM on it without any issues EXCEPT for MY sim-card which had already been locked...
I tried getting a new SIM from my provider with the same phone number but i get the same result - locked...
What do you guys suggest I do?
I would really appreciate any help guys...
Thanks a lot in advance
I thought the Nexus One is sold unlocked. You are using a GSM sim, right?
Yeah - But i guess the guy who sold it to the store had already bought it with a contract from T-Mobile ...
Yeah im using GSM sim...
He could have bought it with a contract from (insert chosen deity here) and it wouldn't make a difference. The Nexus One is SIM free no matter where you get it.
Are the SIM you've tried that work on a different network to you? Perhaps your network has blocked it's IMEI after being lost/stolen/part of an insurance claim.

I tried other sims from the same network as mine and they all work except for mine! very weird...ughhh
Old crap sim probably, not all sim cards are made alike, even though they look like it. Ask your provider for a new sim.
So I've been struggling to find ways to stop my phone from roaming even though I'm on my carrier towers and I'm within my zone, I'm throwing a suggestion out there and I'm hoping for some expert advice.
Could I use root explorer on my rooted x10a to find the file where the expectation is set for my network? Is there such thing?
I think that I'm way off track but it's an attempt and I'm really desperate.
Phone origin: Rogers network
Unlocked: Yes
Fido SIM in phone: Yes
On Fido network: Yes
Rooted: Yes

Not sure, might want to ask the Dev forum instead. But saying this, I'm running on Fido and it doesn't show up as roaming. Maybe updating your phone might help?

What should I upgrade to? I'm already on 24.
How old is your sim card? I hear that older SIM cards are the issue. Mine is 6 years old.
My sim card is 4 years old, I do have an older one but it's not associated with a number anymore so can't test it for you.
Borrow a sim card from a fried to test? Or go down to your local Fido store and ask them if they have a sim you can test. If that works, getting a new sim card is pretty easy, but not free
Though I don't think it could be the sim card. What are your settings for the access point?

Dear All,
I am planning to get a Streak (UK version) unlocked
i would like to know what is the major difference between a locked and an unlocked version?
i just know that a locked version doesnt not support other networks (e.g. O2 Streak doesnt allow Vodafone and etc sim cards to work)
other than this, are there any other main differences?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
i am currently in Hong Kong, there is a Streak offer (O2 unlocked version) and i would like to get it this week or so...
i am just afraid that the "3G/Data/HSPA" etc will not work... so i would like to know the locked/unlocked differences
i hope everyone could help me out and welcome me to the Dell Streak family
thanks all
basically no.
that is the major difference.
unlocked: use on any network
sim only from o2/cpw locked to o2
unlocked: minus any bloatware that o2 may put on their version.

thanks for the reply, but let me get this straight...
so the unlocked version which i will be getting, i will be able to use ANY SIM card and use the 3G/Data/HSPA provided too, right?
just to confirm myself, thanks

Thanks for answering my question too - I want to use the Dell Streak satnav in Spain with a local SIM (unless O2 offers a sweet deal on roaming rates with its Telefonica parent?? But I rather doubt it).
no guarantees on 3g unless hong kong uses the same 3g band.

Any advise guys?
I dont think dual sims are normally sold in the US. I purchased my from hongkong. Although i live in the UK i do like to use dual sims. However samsung s7 has one big problem. You can either use 2 sims or 1 sim and 1 sd card combination.

Yes I know dual sims is not big in US. This unit will be sent to my family in India hence the dual sim question. There is a hack to use 2 Sims plus microSD card but that's for later. Right now I want to know if there is a way to use two sims on my phone's model.
Thanks!
