marcs_sp20 · 18-09-2009, 12:56 PM

you sure? Had the same phone a few years ago and this was a common problem...

Rix · 18-09-2009, 01:02 PM

Shoved it into my old lg brick thats indestructible and it still ain't working

Edit:

Just tried my nokia 6111 and doesnt work in that

Ky_88 · 18-09-2009, 01:20 PM

Well doesn't that suck. I'm on a plan so I don't have that issue. Go to a shop who you are with and generally they can help you out straight away with a replacenment.

As for phones, they really grind my gears. I am so over having a phone that dies on me... GRRRRR

Rix · 18-09-2009, 01:38 PM

I checked their website and it stated that because i'm prepaid i must pay for a $25 recharge before they will issue me with a new simcard, i beat the system i think, i ordered a free simcard from their website so i just gotta wait till that arrives

Batty · 18-09-2009, 03:15 PM

new number ????

Rix · 18-09-2009, 03:24 PM

What u mean new number? i should be able to get it transferred over i think if that's what u mean

70NYD · 18-09-2009, 04:22 PM

for a nominal fee anything is possible

Ice88 · 18-09-2009, 05:19 PM

Tried cleaning the card?

SineWave · 18-09-2009, 07:53 PM

Very uncommon that a SIM card will die. Something may be wrong with your phone. If the new SIM card dies again, I'd get the phone to a repair shop.

I've had the same number from analogue and had several SIM cards. Yep I'm showing my age
