Hello guys ,
Been having an issue with my phone for a few days.
I get an error saying sim 1 not allowed . I'm using 2 sim cards . Used since I got the phone but suddenly i got this error . The phone is unlocked . Any ideas how to fix this,please?
Had some conversations with both of my sim providers and they told me that it's not from their end or either my sim 1 imei got locked to a network . I dont understand how that can happen since it's unlocked .
Thank you .

Hi
I had this the other day
Phone was an upgrade someone sold to a shop turned out he reported that he lost his phone and instead of just blocking his number they blocked the imei of my phone to. Took 3 days to get it unblocked shop had to contact him to call EE to to do it
Yes the imei is blocked someone must have reported the phone stolen or lost. U need to contact the shop u buy it from

hi.
any one who know about my problems pls help...
ive bought a xda 2 from the net and it seems like i cant make any fonecall nor recives any fone calls via my fone. its seems like its been block but i only can recieves and send sms with it, the fone have been unlock. any one who know about this probles or how to resolved it pls help and would this fone works outside the uk (Brunei) help needed pls.....
If it is blocked in UK it will word in rest of the world, you need to unlock the phone or try an O2 sim card before you give up though.
have been unlock but cant make fone call
the fone have been unlock. which i can use the vodafone sim and o2 for sms.
a gsm triband phone will work on all gsm networks which use 900/1800/1900
if it's blocked even if the network support those frequency then maybe it's a imei nr block but then i suppose it would not be able to send sms
what makes it blocked
what makes it blocked in the first place. hope it will work back home in brunei.
suhardee, a phone is blocked if reported stolen or if a claim for insurance is paid out, once the insurers pay out they want to make sure that it cant be used again on the networks, would make more sense to reclaim the broken phones and get some of their money back by selling them.
hemmm
so basically ive bought a stolen phone or a fone which have been claim for its insurance. but just hope it works back home in brunei coz ive unlocked it already. thanks for clearing this up for me. but how would the fone compeny blockd it coz i didnt bought the fone with any sim card is it via the imei number? coz that is the logical explainations. i think it might work in brunei coz at home eventhow mobile is the same advance as in the UK but i dont think the mobile compeny in brunei is that advance.
this forum have a automatic dictionary which mean that if you hold your pointer on top of the place where you wrote imei then you'll get a popup explaining 100% what it is and where it's located
thanks
thanks every one who makes things clear for me... by this weekend i will know if he fone works at home or not.....
I am thinking of selling my hero for round £150 because i can just not sort out the problem it has so maybe some1 with abit more knowledge will be able to sort it. It all works fine apart from the problem with the sim card which is for some reason it does not register any sim cards. The phone is unlocked and i was using a 3 sim card in for about 2 months but then all of a sudden i lost connection and then i could not reconnect with any sim card =/ i have tried different firmwares and radios but nothing seems to help. It certainly isn't barred i know that so i really duno what is up with it but would be a bargin for someone who does know. P/M if your interested
It ssems like phone has been blocked.Did you buy it from previous user? Contact him/her , or the branded supplier with imei number for their explanation.
no it use to be on contract but had a problem and came off but it hadn't been blocked by them i was using it for a while after i had come off use to work fine then it just did this. I have heard there are problems with 3 sim cards sometimes thow so wondering if it was the sim cause other sims just get stuck on the registering bit like the sim unlock hasn't worked
Just curious, but why haven't you contacted whoever you bought the phone off?
Definitely sounds to me like the handset has been barred. If you bought it as part of a contract, but then cancelled the contract early, well it makes sense for the operator to bar the handset if you didn't send it back.
Quick call to 3 (assuming that's who you bought it from) should give you an answer.
no its a tmobile i shall ring them tomorrow see what they say
Wavesecure in ROM, allowing to lock / locate / wipe your device remotely in the event of loss and be notified if the SIM is changed.
that doesn't really solve none working sims though does it ?
iv just paid for an imei check and just waiting for the result now
this phone is blocked by tmobile but not by other networks that is why it registers on tmobile but wont make calls or texts so am wondering if its something to do with the unlock code iv put in =/

Changing the IMEI is prohibited.
So the easiest way for you is change to another SIM (from another network). In another network your IMEI may be not blocked.
Hi XDA Members !!!
Greetings of the Day !!!
I am need of your urgent help .
I recently bought a samsung galaxy S7 sprint UNLOCKED (SM-G930P) from Ebay . Firstly i was able to use my T-mobile sim card in it and LTE was also working well, but the inbuilt as well as other apps were crashing . The apps like Whatsapp, Inbuilt camera app and other apps were crashing and i was getting a message as "Unfortunately the app has stopped Working".
So i took my phone to Samsung service center and then they re-flashed my phone , but i was still facing the same problem.
I told them this and then they replaced the motherboard of the phone (Replaced PBA, this is what mentioned on the receipt which i got from Samsung ).
The phone is running the latest firmware and Android 6.0.1.
When i received the phone , i inserted my T-mobile sim and now the phone is saying "Invalid Sim inserted" . Now the phone is only working on Sprint Sim card. <<I am so angry on Samsung for this **** .>>> .
MOREOVER There are options missing in the settings menu such as "mobile network, hotspot and tethering, wifi calling and others." and also getting the Hands Free activation every time, but the phone does not have any sprint apps installed in the phone and no sprint logo while booting the device up.
i called the sprint service center and asked them, they said the phone is unlocked.
Please help guys , i need this to be fixed asap . I need the phone to work on different carriers.
Can you please let me know, how to check if the phone is unlocked or not , on the phone itself.
I don't want to void my phones warranty . Please help .
Thanks in Advance !!! Cheers .
Hoping for the Best .
Sounds like you bought a clone.
Nope.. The iemi is verified by the Samsung service center

Yeah, if you bought a clone, im sure the Samsung store you took it to to have you phone re-flashed would have said something about it being a clone to you, im sure.. imo

I recently shifted from iOS to this amazing phone just a day back. I saw my friend having this phone and bought it the next day a few hours before my flight in India. I am now in Vietnam and tried inserting the sim card it went on to ask me for a Unlock Code. I removed the sim and put it back on my old phone, after finding out about the Network Lock by Samsung. My Question is can I have any alternative methods than the 5 minute call from the country purchased in ? I am not going back to India for another 6 months and would be so sad to see this phone not being my primary phone
Hope you amazing people out there can guide me on this.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Thank you for the Reply. I tried flashing (Good thing is half the bloatware is removed now) but still no luck with the network unlock. When I enter my local sim card it still asks for a Netowrk Unlock Code.
How about this suggestion: Order an Indian pre-paid sim card, one that also allows you to make international calls. Put that in your phone, and make a call for 5 minutes. If I remember correctly, the sticker on the box doesn't say that you actually have to make the 5-minute call in the country of purchase. It only says you need to make the call with a sim card of the country of purchase (I don't have the sticker anymore, so I could be wrong).
