Screen locked after inserting sim card

The Ipad mini (wifi+celular) screen got locked after i installed sim card from Bangladesh. Apple store said it is unlocked and can insert any sm card. Please help.

Is the iPhone "locked" to a particular mobile carrier, and are you inserting the Sim that they supplied?
Hope this helps

Xperia M4 trouble after inserting SIM card

After inserting SIM card in my Xperia M4 Aqua, my phone reset itself and got stuck on the purple screen thingy. I also couldn't turn it off. I had to press the power button and volume buttons to turn it off. Although I tried to reboot it again and again, it still wouldn't turn on.

6120 restart after insert SIM card

hello every body,
I have a problem with my 6120 classic, that when I insert SIM card the phone is restart. the phone can work only in offline mode with the SIM inserted or work without the SIM.
I tried to press green button with * with 3 to restart it but I have the same issue.
Thanks.

Does it just have this problem with your sim or all sims?
If it's just your sim ask your network to issue you a new sim card.
If it happens with any sim that you put in your phone then take it to a nokia care point for help.

Does an iphone4s become locked to the SIM card that you insert after you follow the steps given to unlock the phone? Thanks a mill

Does an iphone4s become locked to the SIM card that you insert after you follow the steps given to unlock the phone?
I just received the steps by email from meteor and I'm moving to OZ in September. I have the OZ SIM card I intend using over there but I don't want to end up locking the whole phone to the OZ network before I go there.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

That only happens when you purchase a supposedly unlocked phone from specific stores that say their unlocked but as soon as you insert a sim card they lock to that carrier... a trick (sort of)... that's something totally different than what you are about to do!

how to solve this problem. I don't have any sim cards that came with iphone.
Please help out to solve this problem.
It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.

Tour says, "Insert SIM card" after quick reset

I have a Blackberry tour 9630, and for no logical reason it started saying "insert SIM card" after I reset the phone. I've tried a battery pull, and that did nothing. In fact, I have no idea if my service provider, US Cellular, even uses a SIM card. Is this something I will have to discuss with my service provider or is this something I can fix? I can't seem to even see a SIM card on the phone. In fact, I don't even know where it would be.
Thanks

I also have US Cellular and this problem happened to me while travelling last week I don't know why it did it but I had to go to "Options, Mobile Network" and change the Network Technology back to "1XEV" which returned it to normal. I dont know what caused it to switch to "GSM/UMTS"

E71 hangs at random "Insert SIM card" screen

Since updating to 410.21.010, my E71 occasionally shows a "Insert SIM card" message. This is rather odd, as it's not feasible to do so (the battery blocks the slot), and the SIM hasn't had any trouble before. Worse still, when this occurs the phone becomes entirely useless - not only can I not access running apps (and the model doesn't require a SIM for that), I can't even turn it off!
Upon removal of the battery to forcibly restart the phone, it starts just fine, SIM and all - so the card isn't poorly seated or anything like that. Any help would be appreciated!

First make sure sim is seated properly as you said yourself
second Try another sim card, if it works fine with that then you need to replace your sim card, Contact your operator.
and if it fails to operate properly with any other sim card too, then you need to do a Soft Reset:
(BACKUP YOUR DATA MANUALLY, Take out memory card) Dial this code *#7370# Enter your Lock code, Default is 12345.
And if that fails too then you need visit Nokia Care Point in your area.

My BB Bold 9900 / 9930 says Insert Sim Card even when there is a sim card inserted

I've been using this simcard with my BB Bold 9930 for 5 months now and then 2 days ago my phone opened at the blackberry protect log-in pagethat happens when you use a new simcard (which I didn't). so i entered my username and password but then it will show that the username and password doesn't match but when i opened it in my computer and checked it.. it was a match. so i tried switching off my phone and then opening it again but then it will come out again and then again doesn't recognize my password.. i've been doing this until i reached the last attempt where after which they will disable your account for 15 minutes before you can try again. so what i did was to wait and try again until i was able to open it. it was working until yesterday when i restarted my phone again and then after a while the log-in page appeared again but this time it accepted my password then an "initializing sim card" appeared on my phone for a while after which the Insert sim card sign was there. so i tried turning it off and removed and re-inserted my sim card for 6 times it keep saying insert sim card everytime i open it. so i tried using another sim card of my friend which is the same network as mine and inserted my sim card on another phone! my simcard worked on the other phone and so as my friend's sim card worked on my blackberry! i don't know why my blackberry doesn't recognize my simcard! i can't switch to a sew simcard (number) because i am on a postpaid line now and it has a contract for 2 years, so i couldn't throw it away and use a new one!
Help anyone pls. how could i make my simcard worked on my blackberry again! Thanks!!

If you're having issues with your SIM card, Globe Telecom should allow you to swap it for another at no cost to you. Explain your experiment of exchanging SIM cards with your friend and how another SIM card worked fine in your phone. This is clearly a faulty SIM card so it needs to be exchanged, no two ways about it.
If Globe is unwilling to do a simple swap, which any other carrier worldwide would gladly do, tell them you'd like your issue escalated to RIM for resolution because you're obviously not getting anywhere with them. Carriers would prefer not to escalate so they might give in and give you a new SIM card. You shouldn't have to pay for it, either.
I hope that helps you.

You cannot set it up without a SIM. You need to get one. Doesn't have to be active - you can get a used one on eBay for a buck or two.

You should be able to use the sim eject tool (or something like a bent paperclip if you don't have it) to remove the sim card holder from its slot on its left-hand side so that you can inser the nano sim card into it
