Treo 650- Can't get service after trip to Thailand & use of different SIM card - AT&T says it is a hardware problem

I have used my Treo 650 for years in the US. I've also taken it to other countries (Africa, Europe) and used SIMS purchased there for service while in those locations. Upon returning to the US after each trip, I've always been able to use my US SIM to get my US service back. 
However, I went to Thailand in November and used a SMILE SIM and another Thailand SIM, both of which worked in Thailand.  Unfortunately, upon returning to the US, my US SIM won't work for getting service any more.  (I am using my US SIM in a Nokia phone in the meantime, and it is working. When I put the SIM into my Treo, it will transfer the text messges, but will not connect to my service provider, AT&T.) 
I called AT&T and they said it was a hardware problem.  I suspect it might be a "lock" problem with one of the Thailand companies.  Is it possible that the Thai company locked my cell phone? 
So my question is, how can I fix this?  Whatever the problem is, I'd sure like my service back!  Please help!!

I don't think a SIM card can lock your phone. Did you let them do anything with the keyboard?
Can you try with a friend's AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card and see whether either will work?

  • How can I get my iPhone 3GS to recognize my AT&T SIM card after upgrade to iOS 5.1?

    I upgraded my previously-unlocked iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 today, from iOS 4. I hadn't upgraded the OS in awhile (since the phone was unlocked before a trip overseas).
    iTunes says: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I tried taking out and reinserting the SIM card, but that didn't help. It seems that I cannot restore to factory settings now, since iTunes doesn't think my phone has a SIM card and so won't connect to my phone at all.
    I realize now that I should have restored to factory settings before upgrading, but given that I did not, how can I fix this retroactively?
    Help?!
    Thanks!

    I did.
    I've connected to the M-Cell for a few minutes once. It dropped the one call I tried to make, and my phone hasn't reconnectted since. My roommate has the same phone. We have the same thing happening.

  • Confused by what phone number shows up when iMessaging internationally after using two different SIM cards/numbers

    I have a legally unlocked (by AT & T) iPhone 4s which is being used in Australia. First I had a "global" SIM card in it with a +44 (UK) phone number. I used that to text, iMessage and also used Whatsapp.  Then I switched to a local SIM card with a +61 (Australian) phone number. The weirdest thing happened-- can anyone explain?  I texted someone with the second/current Australian SIM card to a friend within Australia using data to do that and it was received as a text message coming from my Australian phone number. Then I walked into my building and my phone switched to wifi automatically (which I know is normal) and the next text message I sent her arrived as an iMessage but it arrived from my +44 number. That was the old SIM card no longer in my phone. I got a text back from her saying, "Who is this?" because she didn't recognize the +44 number! So, now I'm totally confused! How is that possible? The +44 number SIM card wasn't in my phone--so how could she get the iMessage from that number? Please help! What can I do to fix this?

    You can try turning off/on iMessage to have it see your +61 Aussie number...

  • Iphone 4s - can I use 2 different sim cards?, iphone 4s - can I use 2 different sim cards?

    Does anyone know if I can use 2 sim cards with one iphone 4?
    I had my iphone stolen last week but I am getting one next week for work. My personal iphone was new with a 24 month contract.
    So I want to know if I can use both sim cards with the one phone?
    All help appreciated.....

    If the iPhone is officially unlocked, yes. If it is under contract with a provider, No.

  • I can't get service after acdtivation

    I just activated my phone and have no service.  I can't receive a text or call due to no service.  Can I chat about the problem without being able to receive a text or email?

    It's not clear what you're asking. Do you think you are speaking to Apple? If so, this is a user-supported help forum. If you just activated your iPhone and don't have service, contact your carrier. Since you don't mention where you are or who your carrier is, it's hard to know what the issue may be. The carrier is in any case the best place to start as it may be an issue with your SIM or if on CDMA, the iPhone may need to be provisioned to your account.

  • Does the iPhone 5 come unlocked so I can put in a different SIM card?

    I'm going to study abroad in Germany for a few months and want to make sure I can use my iPhone 5 from Verizon with a different phone company over there by just using a different SIM card. Can the iPhone 5 be used with any carrier via the SIM card?

    I never had a iPhone, but I have been researching that exact question.  It seems that Verizon iPhone 5's automatically come sim unlocked.  Which is not a full unlock where you are able to delete certain programs you were not able to delete when you first bought the phone.  A sim unlock will allow you to use other sim cards for other companies, but you will not get LTE data. According to Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney: "she says there's no plans to lock Apple's handset at a later point. In other words, you should be free to use a Verizon-locked iPhone 5 on any compatible GSM and HSPA+ networks for as long as you'd like, including with AT&T and Canadian carriers. Of course, this still brings the caveats of having to both buy a Verizon model, either at full price or with a contract attached, and track down a nano-SIM for the carrier of choice. It could nonetheless settle the question of what carrier to pick if you regularly need a passport when you travel.  I believe this article will tell you all you need to know.  if not, you can go to verizon if the phone is locked, and have it sim-unlocked, as long as you have a account with them in good standing.

    You can't.  The warranty on the iPhone has NEVER been international.  You will need to bring the phone to Thailand (or send it to someone you know there to bring it to Apple) for servicing.

    Hi tania184,
    Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional.

  • Can not get microphone after privacy on ipad 2 on ios 7, Can not get microphone after privacy on ipad 2 on ios 7

    Can not get microphone after privacy on ipad 2 on upgrade iOS 702 . What can i doe ? Thans

    The above helped me find this solution:
    do the following steps:
    General > Restrictions > [scroll down to ] PRIVACY: > Microphone > Allow changes
    Not: Settings > Privacy > Microphone
    If you are installing an app like Soundhound, you will have to delete it then just reinstall it. The app then will ask you if it is "OK" to use the microphone. Push "yes". Then go back to the Settings app and follow the chain:
    Settings > Privacy > Microphone > SoundHound   push tab to the right until it turns green and you are set.

    Can I get job after doing Oracle certification at this age?
    Can you get a job if you become certified in Oracle?  Certainly!
    Will you get a job if you become certified in Oracle?  Who knows?
    Professional certifications are not magic wands.  You cannot wave a certificate and cause employers to come running to hire you. Certifications can help you to learn some of the skills required to administer Oracle, or develop in Oracle, or use various Oracle software products. There are companies that need people with this knowledge. I have written a number of articles about the topic:

  • Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

    Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
    I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
    Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

    Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
    So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' -  even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
    Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?
