I just got my new M5000 yesterday, bought off Ebay.
It was sold as unlocked - but the phone refuses to accept my sim card for some reason - tells me invalid or missing sim. And yes, my sim works fine on another telefone. I have tried another sim from a friend in my M5000, and that works fine. Does anybody know if the M5000 has some limitation as to what sim cards it accepts?
Thanks, Paul

If you have Sim card very old - I always happens - change it for free at your operator for 3G ( UMTS) services.

ok i got my phone on o2 after loosing it i reported it lost they blocked my ime number and sent me a new sim card, then i had the phone returned to me and o2 said ime number had been unblocked. when i inserted new sim i got no signal on o2 sim card so i tried someone elses o2 card same problem no signal but it works in other phone. also if i put other network sim cards in xda2 they work do any of you out there know why my o2 cards will not work in xda2?
Are you SURE O2 un-blocked the correct IMEI?
Sounds to me like the IMEI is still blocked - No O2 SIMs work in this phone but do work in other phones; other carrier SIMs work in this phone.
Really sounds blocked.
Hi
I leave in israel, i have htc-9500 (wallaby) and i installed the unlock
software from this site.
In Israel, we have 2 main companies that use GSM network
the first is "CELLCOM" and the other is "ORANGE".
when i put SIM CARD of Orange, everything was ok !
when i put SIM CARD of Cellcom, the mobile can not find the network.
both companies use GSM network with 900/1800 band.
What is the problem ?
Why is it work with one company and did not work with the other ?
Thank you very much
Well may be its still locked to ORANGE or your other sim is no good.
Hard to tell based on what little info you have given.
i made few phone calls from
the ORANGE sim card...
and with the CELLCOM sim card it did not find the network.
the sim card of cellcom is good it work on nokia 6100
thx
Travelled from UK to USA and using my HTC TyTN II changed UK O2 SIM card for an AT&T SIM card. Used loads of KOA Kamp sites wireless and once AT&T 3G SMS and voice services in USA and all worked fine.
Returned to UK removed AT&T SIM card inserted UK O2 SIM card and of course sods law my O2 SIM card will not register or connect to UK O2 Network.
HTC TyTN II dialogue box displays a message "Smart chip not provisioned MM 2" and that a data connection, that I cannot find, needs changing.
I Phoned the UK O2 customer services and very helpful a call centre operator says your phone needs replacing (like hell it does)
I suspect that registering the AT&T SIM card a registry setting is changed and that it is an altered that is causing the UK O2 network connection failure.
Is it possible that someone will tell me what has occurred and/or a solution?
PS Enjoyed the two white knuckle car rides Highway One South Big Sur to LA and Westport CA to Bodega Bay!
if it's a reg then a hardreset should set it straight
When a SIM Card not working "Think Simple"
Thank you
17 July 2007 called HTC technical support staff Edyta, reference 080717 UK 08315084 replaced O2 SIM card that will not connect to Network.
Retest using T-Mobile SIM TyTN II works just fine. Insert an O2 XDA other O2 SIM Card and TyTN II works just fine. Contacting O2 for a replacement SIM. O2 sending replacement SIM card with failed SIM card existing mobile number and carried forward credit.
Moral here is think simple
Need help guys...
this might be a silly question but i've searched through google and this forum for the past few days and still haven't found the exact answer to this issue.
well, the issue is this:
1) Bought a 2nd hand Touch/Elf from a local reseller and when inserting a Celcom (mobile provider) postpaid simcard (128K) it does not recognize the sim card and show the message "invalid SIM".
2) Inserted DiGi (another provider) simcard (64K prepaid) and it works brilliant. and I am currently using it with my Elf right now.
3) Tried my friend's Maxis (another provider) simcard (128K postpaid) and the problem goes again.
4) Tried another friend's Celcom (64K prepaid) and the same issue went on again.
Does it have something to do with SIM unlocking because i suspect that this Elf is not sim locked.
does it have to do with the capacity of simcards (64k/128k)?
please help as i would like to use my Celcom postpaid with this device as it is my primary number and i wouldn't like to carry 2 phones with me around.
so here is the deal
a friend bought me 2 htc legend from spain
they are vodafone and were supposed to b unlocked
he tried them on orange and they worked
he gave them to me (in egypt) and i tried them and they worked on our sims well
and i used the phone on my sim for a day but i have no names memorized on my sim it was all on my old phone
so i removed my sim put it on my old phone and copied the names from the phone to the sim and returned the sim back to the htc but the sim didnt work gave me a message of "no service"
i tried mty sim on the other htc (which i got to a friend )
