Bought a dorro 1360 keeps saying invalid sim bought a new sim still saying invalid sim
Did you buy the Doro second hand? If you bought it brand new take it back to where you bought it and they should be able to sort it out for you, often free of charge.
If you bought it second hand you'll find most mobile phones are 'Locked' to a specific network so you have to buy one of their sim cards. A sim card from another network will not be recognised by the handset and it will give you the "Invalid" message you're getting.
Try this. Turn off the phone, remove the sim card and turn the handset back on without the sim in it. Don't worry this won't damage the phone. There should be a logo or name on the screen showing who the registered network is. If the network is different to the sim card you have the phone won't make calls or send texts.
There is a reasonably easy, (and often cheap), fix for this. Take the hand set to a good phone repair shop and for a small fee they should be able to 'Unlock' the handset to where it will accept any network's sim cards.
When I turn the phone on it says invalid card and all it will let me do is call 911 and 112. Or if I try to call someone else it say's emergancy calls only.?
