Maxx HD Sim card problems

My phone wont read my SIM card . Ive tried the soft reboot and nothing and then i tried the factory reboot and now im stuck at square one. I have to reset my phone but it wont let me because it cant read the SIM and its stuck in emergency mode. Ive tried cleaning the SIM card and still nothing. Im thinking i have to get a new card but if there is a way to get around that id like to know

    You've definitely tried some great steps, WyattJames. In fact, you've done everything I would have suggested. But cleaning the SIM can be tricky since any exposure to moisture can not only damage the card, but damage the SIM slot in the phone itself as well. Picking us a SIM card from a Verizon Wireless owned store http://bit.ly/3SdsA is absolutely an option and can be done at no charge.

    i been having sim card problems with my iphone 5. am i the only one?

    Hello,
    I'm also had problems with Iphone 5 , it read no sim card, i solved problem by removing sim card and cleaning with alcohol and q-tip and installing back.
    Shut down phone.
    On the side of phone , you will see a small pin hole, insert paper clip and sim card will come out, be careful to do it over a clean towel as not to let drop on floor, make sure your hands clean while doing this.
    Insert sims card back and turn on, it should work again.
    Good Luck.

  • Iphone Sim Card problems and updating and restoring problems

    I bought a iphone about 1 year ago and about 2 months ago i was not able to see any wifi connections in the area or connect to any even though i was sure that there was a wifi nearby and my fellow coleauges could connect to it with their iphone. I thought that this might have something to do with the "restrictions" so i went to turn the restrictions off but realised that it had a passcode that i had forgotten. I wasnt able to restore it within the iphone so i restored it from my computer. Once i had finished the iphone had a " connect to itunes " on the screen and it said that there was no sim car installed, even though there was. I tried cleaning the sim card and everything else, i tried connecting it to itunes but it just said no sim card installed. Now i cannot use my iphone or cant even activate it. I have also tried to restore it in recovery mode but ended up with the same problem. Please Help.! Thanks

  • Cannot connect due to sim-card problems, Cannot connect due to sim-card problems

    Trying to get started with my iPhone 4, which I recently bought from one of my mother's colleagues.
    But when I get to the activation of the iPhone it shows a message on the display that says: "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported phone company may be used to activate iPhone. Insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported telephone company store to get a replacement SIM card ". This suggests that the iPhone is not unlocked for other phone companies, but the other day I was in a store and got the phone unlocked. Therefore I can now not figure out what the problem is. When I connect the iPhone to iTunes quickly a message appears on my Mac, which says: "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported", and then the same message which is displayed on the iPhone.
    Some geniuses who can help me?
    Thanks,
    Johan Helms

    With "Carrier" you mean mobile operator right? For should I then ask her, who sold me the iPhone, to get it unlocked or can I do it myself? I have not received any mail from Apple and I can't get into the iPhone itself. I was told that her who sold me the phone had taken care to restore it.
    I have tried to update my iTunes, but i already got the latest version. I have also tried to install the new iOS 6 software on the iPhone, but after a few seconds a message is showed, telling that it's not possible to backup the iPhone.
    I'm starting to get a bit frustated, given that my own phonecompany told me to contact Apple, Apple told me to contact Telenor and ask them to unlock the iPhone. None of it has worked and now you say that it is not possible for Telenor to unlock the iPhone.

  • Please! Help me with my SIM card problem!

    When I first bought the Blackberry Flip 8220, I was constantly having a problem with my SIM card and the signals. My signal would constantly drop down to none and would go into SOS mode. Not only that, but it would also say either "SIM Card Error,""Invalid SIM Card," or "Insert SIM Card." So, the RIM sent me a new replacement for the cellphone. For the first few days, it worked just fine but, as the time passed by, the phone started to have the similar problem. What's worse is that as the time passed, the more problem started to show up! Now, my side buttons aren't functioning and the rate of my phone experiencing the problem with the SIM card and the signals, similar to the ones mentions above, has risen drastically. For now, the side buttons aren't my priority but what I would like to find out is how come my phone is experiencing such problem with the SIM card and how I can fix it. Please, help me! Due to this problem, I can't even receive the international calls.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    I don't believe that RIM issues SIMs...the carriers issue the SIM cards since these activate your phone on their network. RIM doesn't care what network you use...but the carriers do
    So, what I'd suggest is that you go see your carrier and find out what's going on with the bad SIM. It is also possible that the device itself has a problem with the SIM card contacts...in which case the advice is the same, your carrier provides your service, so going to see them is the right thing to do.
    Good luck and let us know how it goes!

  • N91 Sim Card Problems

    Hi Have been using my N91 since September without any problems up until a couple of days ago, when out of the blue I was getting "SIM CARD REGISTRATION FAILED" so I phoned O2 they said there was no problem with there Sim Card. I have tried the Sim in another phone and works OK so then tried a T-Mobile Sim Card, that registers but won't let me make or receive any calls, there is an icon on the screen that according to the manual is "ALL CALLS TO THE PHONE ARE DIVERTED TO ANOOTHER NUMBER" but when I try and cancel all diverts it come up with operation failed.
    I have been looking on here for a solution but I can't seem to find anybody that has been having the same fault, now I have tried the *#7370# & *#7780# with and without the Sim in the phone, plus I have formatted the HDD but still the same problem.
    Hopefully someone can help please!!!!

    Hi,
    I had the same problem, but after updating the software version the problem get resolved. Try to update the software version. If your current version is up to date then re-install the software once again and hopefully you will get rid of the problem.
    Go to Product Support to download the software.

  • Nokia N8 sim card problem please help!!

    I have been the proud owner of a Nokia N8 for about 9 months now without any problems or issues jus some random bugs...since N8 is a troubled device as we all know. But anyways jus now it has come up with lots of issues...at first my phone started to restart as soon as the phone started up. Even before all the apps loaded up and i tried around 15 times to switch off and start and stuff. But to no avail...so i went on some forums and blogs and got some tips like resetting it by holding down the power button for 8 secs and everything but still the same problem. Now, I removed my sim card and put in a different one and VOILA it worked!!! No restart so I thought maybe the older sim was faulty. but as i put the old sim in another phone...it worked in that phone! I was dumbfounded as the sim was working on my n8 before toO! ......so i just ignored it and i used the other sim in my n8 but not for long after half an hour the phone was not starting up sim card or no sim card. so i flashed my phone to the official Symbian Anna and i tried booting up without a sim card and the phone works properly. but as soon as I put in the sim card and switch the profile to normal mode..the phone freezes for about 5-6 seconds and reboots only to find my phone in offline mode again and same problem. I have tried changing sim cards nd memory cards, reset, reflash, format the mass memory, and everything else possible but in vain. The problem still exists!! Can anyone please help me as Im very fond of the phone and I dont want to send it to the service center as they would come up with some lame excuses + i hav lost my warranty card!! Please help....and btw the phone works flawlessly without a sim card! And also, in offline mode when i switch on the bluetooth...the phone freezes and restarts! Evn the WLAN keeps on searching for network and doesnt find any even though there is! Any help would be appreciated... thank you!

    Just want to say "I dont have my warranty card"
    No official Nokia care point will say this as they can check the warranty satus online using your IMEI number- if they do not do this, either insist they do or report them to nokia care direct and lodge a complaint. (0845 045 55 55 from the UK)
    Even if the warranty has expired online, this can be extended if you can provide a proof of purchase date. This can be a delivery reciept if you bought online, or your high street retailor will be able to provide you with a copy if you ask them- even your original service agreement should be enough. Remember you get a full 2 years warranty with all Nokia handsets. 
    Nokia Care are there to help, not to make things difficult for you. They go through untold amounts of training to ensure you get your handset back as soon as possible in a fully working order. 
    I feel bad you feel such reluctance to contact a care centre, Nokia have gone to massive efforts to provide consumers with this kind of readily available support. 
    If you are in the UK and your local care centre is not helping you I would suggest you call the one i use, they will give you all the advice you need 01242 539539 (i hope giving out this info is ok on the forums)

  • IPhone 3GS SIM card problems

    Hello. I have an iPhone 3GS and I was using iOS 5.0.1 prior the upgrade to 5.1.1. Immediately after upgrading to the latest version my iPhone couldn't find any network and shortly after it displayed "Invalid SIM card". I tried to turn it off and then back on but it didn't help. Then I tried to restore the phone with the help of itunes. After doing so i had to set my phone from the beginning to chose the language to chose the country the wifi conection etc. and at last i hoped it would activate. But it displayed me this:
    "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to recive a replacement SIM card."
    And that's it i can't use this phone anymore not even as a music player or for net browsing. I tried again to connect to itunes in hope it had some kind of restore solution but it didn't. It even displayed this:
    "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to recive a replacement SIM card."
    When i got the iPhone it didn't come with a SIM card. And I used my old SIM card that i was using, and it was working fine until this upgrade.
    Is there a way to fix this problem? Can i downgrade it somehow? Will I be able to upgrade it with the next iOS version in hope it will have this bug fix?
    Please help

    Your phone was hacked to be used with your carrier.  Upgrading the iOS has rightfully re-locked your phone to the original carrier.  You cannot use your phone for anything until you activate it.  That means having a SIM card in place from the original locked carrier.  No way around this, nor is there any way to downgrade your iOS version.

  • Iphone sim card problems

    i have an iphone 3g with 3.1.2 os. i had jsut dropped it today and and it will say no service frequently and other times it will have full bars. I have always hard service in the area I have lived in. I had tried restoring the network settings , restarting the ipod, and ejecting the sim card and re inersting it. my only theory is that the sim card tray is loose. *Any suggestions as to what is wrong with it.* I do not have warrinty on this phone any longer.

    Sounds like you broke something. You may need to look into a replacement - visit an Apple Store or contact AppleCare.

  • Iphone 3 sim card problem!

    I updated the software on it and now it doesn;t want to recognize the sim card, says I need to connect it to iTunes and when I do it just gives me the message that its not recognizing sim card. the iphone is used outside of US and it has a prepaid sim card. It belongs to a friend of mine who asked me to update him my music.. and now it just stopped working, please tell me what can I do

    the iphone is used outside of US and it has a prepaid sim card.
    If the phone in question came from the US, that means it was originally carrier locked to AT&T. Since AT&T will not unlock an iPhone for anyone for any reason, that would mean the phone was hacked to get it to work outside the US. Updating software or restoring an iPhone will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to, if the phone was hacked to unlock it. Sounds like that's what has happened to you.
