I've recently bought a SIM-free SPV M3100, however I cannot make outgoing calls using my old 2G SIM. The phone accepts incoming calls with no problem, and is able to send texts as normal. But whenever I try to make an outgoing call, it comes back with the "beep beep beep" network busy and call ended status. I've done soft and hard resets to no avail.
The phone works fine as I have tried my wife's Orange 3G sim and outgoing calls can be made okay. I've also tried my 2G SIM in my wife's M5000 and that works fine making outgoing calls okay.
I've spoken with Orange and they seem to think there shouldn't be a problem and that 2G SIMs are supported. They've reflashed my SIM but still no success.
Has anybody seen anything similar?
You can try, hardreset, then just after you setup your security stuff (eg screen where it ask you for the phone's PIN), perform a soft reset. This will prevent the EXTROM stuff to be installed. Just incase some of the settings there are messing your thing. Worth a try.
Thanks for the advice - tried that, but still no luck unfortunately

Hi,
I am using the O2 xda mini in India.
THe problem I am facing is I came to nepal for my vacation, and with the network service providers here, I cannot make or receive calls. The phone registers properly with the network. I can receive and send SMSs. THe only problem is with the calls.
I tried hard resetting the phone. I played with the call forwarding/waiting settings for a while and it started working BUT i wanted to copy number from the old sim, i inserted the old sim.. copied the numbers and inserted back the new sim again. And it has stopped working again. I tried hard resetting, playing with the settings. Can someone enlighten me on this.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.. CANT MAKE OR RECEIVE CALLS while I CAN SEND / RECEIVE SMS.
Thanx,
amit

Did you try inputting the international dialing code before the number?
If you are going to be in India for a while it might be best if you purchased a SIM chip there to go into your phone.
Also, your phone IS unlocked, right?
Hi All,
I have an Orange SPVM3100 with the SPL2.10 bootloader and Duttys WM6 Ver 6.
The handset is unlocked and I have my work Vodafone SIM card in.
The phone has been working fine for 6 months with the Voda SIM and around 2-3 months with the Dutty WM6 OS.
Now, all of a sudden I cant get any network coverage from Vodafone.
If I put the SIM card into the Nokia 6310i that came with the contract, works fine with both incoming and outgoing calls.
If I put my Orange SIM in the SPV, it also works fine with both incoming and outgoing calls.
So that eliminates a fault with the SIM card and the handset indivually and points to an incompatibility of them working together.
Any ideas?

sound like your phone is broken... warrenty?
As it's an Orange SPVM3100 and works fine with my Orange sim but not with a Vodafone SIM,I dont think warranty is going to be an option!
I am maybe thinking a hard reset might solve the problem as it does not appear to be a hardware problem, but was waiting for input from the resident techies first!
Mark
change radio maybe?
Weird - just swapped the SIM cards around again (after numerous power cycles / soft resets / SIM swaps) and hey presto it's working again!
How weird!!!???
Not working again!!
Have now got signal bars, but making outgoing calls very slow, incoming calls going striaght to voicemail....
One thing I have noticed is that under
Settings | Phone | Network | Set Networks
Vodafone uk keeps is unticked, after ticking and moving to top it then becomes unticked again.
PS I Have also upgraded radio to 1.51
PPS Handset still works perfectly with Orange SIM
Any suggestions?
The phone I have is a T-mobile MDA Compact that has been network unlocked.
The problem is that it is unable to make or receive normal calls. The symptoms vary across networks, with vodafone being the most functional. The symptoms are as follows.
----
Tesco Mobile SIM: - no service.
----
T-Mobile SIM: Connects to network and shows a signal, but no call functions work.
----
vodafone SIM (ASDA): Connects to network, shows a signal, can send and receive text messages, can make 999 calls.
Can't make or receive normal calls:
When trying to dial out the display goes from "dialing" to "call ended" and three quiet beeps can be heard, the dialed phone never rings.
If called from BT landline the caller simply hears "Error" and callers from other mobile phones hear a variety of different tones (engaged, beeps etc)
If the phone is switched off, the callers get the usual "the phone you are calling is not available" message.
------
The phone has a CheckMend certificate to show that it is not lost or stolen, and T-Mobile have confirmed that the IMEI is not barred on their network.
-----
While attempting to fix this:
I have reflashed the phone with several ROMs and updated the radio from 1.12 to 1.13, but the original problem remains unchanged.
I Have E-mailed HTC technical support with a description of the problem but as yet have had no reply.
If any one is able to shed any light on this I would be very grateful.
similar problem, but i can send or receive SMS, but when i try to call or answer after cca 10sec it cut the line and show a sign of searching for signal...
flashed new ROM, same problem, chanhge automatic to manual, same...
is it a software or hardware problem, i can try to open and clean a dust (in one service said that could be a problem) which cause a bad contact with internal antenna
hi, did you get this problem sorted? i have the same thing with my spv m700, cant believe its hardware though as all other functions ar great
thanks
I purchased an MDA Vario 2 off a 3rd party seller on Amazon just before christmas, when i put my T Mobile PAYG sim in it did everything except call and text, it can still connect to internet through wifi and gprs/3g and do everything else, just no calls or texts, when I try to call it from my landline I get 'calls to this number are currently not being connected'. When i try to call out, I get 'call ended' on 0:00 time when i try to text, it just wont send. I've done a hard reset, called T Mobile to check if it's blacklisted which it isn't, tried a different T Mobile sim and attempted to flash a ROM, I don't really know if it worked or not and when I've been trying to do it recently, i connect via activesync, run the program downloaded from the T mobile website, the phone goes into the 3 colour screen with USB at the bottom and then the computer tells me it's not connected. The seller has been very cooperative, and I can see it was working when she had it because there were call times to her old numbers.
I don't seem to be able to access call barring, caller id, call forwarding or call waiting settings, it tells me the setting couldn't be read from the network, if that helps at all?
Anyone suggest where I turn next?
My ROM version is 1.22.110.3
My radio version is 1.47.30.10
I'm trying on T Mobile PAYG UK
Edit: I've just tried swapping both my sims to my old phone (moto v535) to try and make some calls and they both now give me 'call failed' (including the brand new one, i've just activated and has only been in the MDA for a few hours tryna get it to work) yet still show 3-4 bars of signal. does this make any difference to diagnosing the problem?
Here is the problem.
Altough i get full signal, i can't make/receive calls.
If i make a call it disconnects and i can hear a string sound (similat to a guitar).
If i receive a call the voicemail answers.
I cant make calls like *100# or any other stuff.
I changed the Radio, from 2.97.xx to 3.34.90 (or similar) then downgraded to 3.21.90
Is this a virus?
After i make a soft-reset i can make a call, but after 2-3 minutes, i can't make anymore.
Please help.
Btw, i'm using Orange.
Thanks in advance.
Please help
try to do a hard reset !

I'm also interested as to why you downgraded the radio? Did you get the issue on the 3.34 version? If not, can you not just put that back on?
I'd try hard reset before anything else like nnph said.

I had the same problem with an Orange SIM and the solution was simple.
I had a card SIM of 32k, I changed it for another 64k and problem solved.
Orange charged me 5 euros for the duplicate card, that's all.
in order to get to the bottom of this you should try:
1.if you consider the sim to be the problem: put the sim into another phone, see if that works
2.if you consider the phone to be the problem: try a hard reset! think if you had the problem before/after radio upgrade? if hard reset not working then try a different rom/radio.
If none of the above works for you than start to take into consideration a hardware problem, which I really doubt !!
Ironjon, did you had the exactly same problems?
I also have Cosmote, but it was doing that only when i had weak signal.
In other phone is working.
But i think it's sim's card fault. I only paid for the phone 25 E, it had broken speaker, i had someone to repair it for free. I'm not very upset if it not works, at least i can keept it for wi-fi and games.

Yes, I had the same problem.
I tried with 3 SIM cards of 32k and did not work with any.
I tried with some SIM cards of 64k and works fine with all.
