How do I access my new sim card? - Samsung galaxy note n8000 10.1 3 g wifi White

If the sim card worked before, then you might be having a bad sim (sometimes sims go bad). If you have access to another sim, try and see if it works. If yes, then get a new sim card from the service provider.

a sim card is not a memory card,sim cards are what make your phone have cell access, a memory card only stores things for your phone

a sim card is locked BECAUSE it is not active,in order to unlock a sim card,you need to either,pay the balance owed,buy a new monthly service,open a new contract with a cell service or return the sim card to whom it belongs to,we at fixya XANNOT GIVE YOU A NUMBER TO UNLOCK YOUR SIM CARD,there is a reason why it is locked,if it was easy to get a code,then anyone could steal your phone and use it and you couldnt stop its use for at least a month.

The PUK code is of no use without the SIM card.
You need to get a new SIM card from your cell phone provider and the PUK code will be supplied with this new SIM card. Keep the PUK code in a safe place so you can access it when you need it.

you can contact the service provider...........

Hi fragglewise ,

what i suggest for you to do is insert the sim card into your old phone and transfer all the contacts into the sim card. after that insert the sim card into your new phone and find the option wher eyou can copy the contacts in the sim into your phone.

if that does not work then that means the sim card cannot store contacts.

another option is to place the sim card in your old mobile and write down all the numbers that you NEED on paper and then later type it all down on the new phone.

i hope this helps, good luck!

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

Either you need to put a code in the phone to accept any new sim card or the the phone sounds like it has been reported lost or stolen or the previous sim card had the wrong pin number inputted causing the phone to lock and then the right PUK number was not entered. If you want to run to the expense of buying a serial cable for your phone I can pinpoint where you can get software for samsung phones. Look at my profile at mail me. Hope this helps.

Yes I believe so. Most phones these days store all the numbers in the phone and you must manually transfer them to the sim card. Then by putting the sim card in your new phone you will have your numbers. You can generally then transfer the numbers to your new phone, as it is handy to have them in more places than less. This way you have the freedom to change sim cards but always have access to those numbers for example.

i have the same problem. it worked for the first day or so, now i can't access contact info on sim card or send or check text messages.
