    i think the problem doesn't come from the sim card because i've tried this sim with another phone and it works...
    do you have any solution?
    thanks for your help...

This may sound simplistic ... insert the correct SIM card.

Did you receive same with the phone? are you trying to use one from another phone? is one required at all? who is your carrier? What did they recommend to resolve?

Try this, since it seems you have a sim probably from another phone, there is that possibility that the formatting is not compatable with your new phone. Get a SIM to USB adapter. Plug it in to your computer USB. Copy the data from your SIM to your computer. Clear (format) the SIM using your computer. Put the clean SIM back into your phone - see what happens.

Good luck, I hope something here works for you

Thanks for posting at FixYa.com

    Please stick with me to the end here ...



    As I understand your comment now, this sim works; it just doesn't work in this telephone - and the telephone itself has told you it doesn't like the sim you are using.



    My friend, I have read your question and your comment. Based upon the first reading, of your question and the reading of your comment, I see no change in my suggestion. Have you tried any of my suggestions? I don't see much in the way of clarification except that you have tried the sim in another phone and it worked.



    My friend, I might say that a Ford starter, while in perfect condition, will not run in a Chevrolet, no matter how hard I try to make it run, yet it might run perfectly well in a several different Ford's.



    My suggestion remains please insert the correct sim and/or contact your carrier for a solution. That is all the solution I can think of to offer you, my friend.



    Thanks for your comment at FixYa.com

    I bought mine at Staples for a couple bucks, though you may find it at any place that has a selection of computer gear including some Walgreens, WalMart, Kmart, Sears, Office Depot, Office Max, and even the local computer repair guy in your town or other fine retailers. I'm also sure that there is a FixYa.com advertiser that can supply your need. You might look at www.sandisk.com , E-bay or any of several other large www retailers.



    Mine is a SanDisk, Mobile Mate SD+ . Takes mioni and micro chips.



    I hope this information helps you.

Unlock code for sony W 580i

Hi, If you get error message as PIN blocked. Unlock?" You have entered the wrong PIN code too many times. You need to unlock your phone using the PUK (PIN Unlocking Key) code. Your PUK code is provided by your network operator. If you get error message as Insert correct SIM" You have inserted a SIM card that is not supported. Insert correct SIM card, or contact your Service Provider for a SIM unlock code. If you get error message as Phone locked" or "Enter PIN" Your phone is locked and you need to unlock it with your personal PIN. The default PIN is '0000', but you or your network operator may have changed it. I Hope it helped you. Thank you for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Unlocking my sony ericsson w580i

IF U ARE USING THE SAME CARRIER AS BEFORE (ATT FOR EXAMPLE) IT WONT NEED UNLOCKED. IF U WERE GIVEN A NEW SIM CARD FROM UR CARRIER WHEN THE NEW PHONE WAS BOUGHT, THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO USE THE SIM CARD. THE CARRIER ATTACHES THE SIM CARD NUMBER TO UR ACCOUNT. YOUR OLD ONE CAN BE USED ONLY TO ACCESS YOUR CONTACTS, BUT NOT TO MAKE CALLS.YOU CAN HOWEVER PUT THE OLD SIM CARD IN UR NEW PHONE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF TRANSFERRING UR CONTACTS, THEN REPLACE YOUR NEW SIM CARD INTO UR NEW PHONE
