I68+ TOUCH SCREEN emergency calls only

This happens when no sim-card is inserted or your carrier's network is not available. Try to check the sim-card contacts or put it into another phone and see whether it works there. If the sim-card is defective you generally can exchange it for free in the nearest office of your wireless-carrier.
When the phone says "emergency calls only" it means that the phone has found a network, but it can not register in it due to the problems described above. For emergency calls network registration is not required, it is made for so you could call 911 even without any sim-card installed.

Many of the newer cell phones (for some unknown reason) will not accept - or even recognize - a SIM card if it has been used in another cell phone.

Contact your cellular provider's customer support dept. and request you be sent a new SIM card. When you get it - activate the SIM first before putting it in your phone.

sir that phone is not a original i phone its the substitute of i phone ............if it shows emergency calls then reinsert the sim card or restore the factory of ur mobile............if this method doesn't work then mail me at [email protected] bye

This phone is a POS.  Sounds like it can't read the SIM card, and therefore only 911 calls are available.

We had the same problem on both of our new sciphones. After long hours of research we finally found an easy solution to it so hope this helps.

1) Shut down your phone completely (you will know because a red sign will come up on your phone and you have to confirm that you are shutting it down).

2) Take our your battery and then your sim card

3) Make sure that your sim card is in the right way. (It has to be on the highest slot, not the one closest to the bottomof the phone, and the metal plates have to be facing down, or towards the phone).

4) Reinsert your battery and then start your phone up again

5) Go to restore factory settings and plug in the code 1122 when it asks for one. NOTE: Your phone will reboot, and when it turns on it should be okay.

We tried everything and this is the only thing that worked. We had t-mobile sim cards for both phones and it worked fine. Good luck!

okay turn your phone off take the back off ,battery and take the sim card out now put the battery back in with out sim card .. turn on. now go open sim and close sim 2... turn off...remove back and battery put sim card in slot 1 make sure its in all the way put battery and back on ... turn the phone on... give it a few minutes it should work....

try puttin the sim card corectly, theres 2 slots they go different just check.

make sure the sim card is inserted properly. sim card slot 2 is the one away from where battery cover (against the phone) the gold chip will face up towards you. sim card slot 1 is the one slightly elevated gold chip will face down. if you are sure you have it inserted correctly, follow the steps below that came off the help disc i have offered. Works for I9 and I68.
Emergency calls only, then try these steps;
1.) Shut down the phone, remove the SIMS, and replace them back in the slots in the
correct manner again. It may just be that the SIMS aren't in correctly, not pushed far enough
into the slot, or their metal grid isn't making good contact with the SIM's slot pins. Try to
wedge a tiny piece of paper, placed against the side of the SIM without the metal contacts, between the phone and the SIM so it makes the SIM's metal contact points fit up against the phone's SIM slot contacts a little more snugly.
