Invalid sim got cect i9+i68 on ebay uk. it meant to be unlocked but every sim put into- tried orange and o2- shows only invalid sim. it recognizes network for a sec and then back to invalid sim . do i do something wrong or i'm just dumb

Try unlocking sites

Hmm it seems that it doesn't support your country signal Mhz,go to the page you bought the phone and check this

example
Operating Frequency: GSM
Network Frequency: 850/900/1800/1900MHz

after google what frequency your country supports

After further research into the phone, I have discovered that it does not support any 3G network and as vodafone and O2 in Ireland are now 3G networks, neither the I9 or the I68+ will work on these networks. They only support 2G networks(GSM). Will work with Meteor Irl but this network is in the process of changing to 3G so these chinese phones will soon be useless in the Republic of Ireland.

search on ebay.co.uk for 'invalid sim' seller 'sim-solution'

you may need to take the phone and have it reflash but most likely the board is faulty so you should consider replacing it.

This phone is NOT 3G compatible (it's just it's name ...) if your Tmobile card is 3G it will not work. All CECT phones are factory unlocked !

This seems to be the settings for web, let me know if they work.

i have the same problem i keep on putting my sims in (one tesco sim & one voda phone sim) and it said the same thing invalid sim. the sim regestars for about 2 seconds then it either says invalid sim or emergancey calls. whats a matter with it should i send it back.kjr2502

Ok, this sounds f**king stupid, but, try this
-Dial *#000#
-change the date to one in the past
-switch phone off then on
-change the date back to present
-switch phone off then on
This worked for me.... don't ask me why i even tried this
