Ive just bought a new Nokia mobile phone, but when I have tried to put my existing sim card in it wont work. It just says the pin number is incorrect and I have only got one more go before it will lock on me

Anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is?

Yes, - user error!

Ive just noticed I got the title wrong, it should be mobile phones

I wont ask Jdr to change it for me cos I got in trouble last time

What do you mean "yes"?

Come on, help me out please.

Is the phone locked? Is it on a different network from your sim card?

The phone isnt locked yet, but it will be if I try my pin again.

I am with vodafone which is the same network.

Where did you buy the phone from? Was it a Vodafone shop?

Phone companies now lock the phone with the sim card its issued with or registered with, I have a friend who sells............snyde phones, and he says his "job" is getting harder because of it.


Oh and by the way....................you got yet another thread title wrong!!!!!

Yes.

So if I take it to the shop will they be able to sort it out for me?

You need to take it back and get them to either update your sim card or replace it

But I need to keep my existing number

They will either update your sim, keeping everything, or program a new one to suit.

Or rather, they should be able to

As Tim has suggested, you will need to take it back.

When I bought my new phone a few months back the bastards registered the sim that was in it, I went away, put my sim in it and it said the same thing.

The next day I went back and requested it be changed, when they refused I went ape shit, after about 5 mins of me getting pissed off the manager came out and agreed to sort it out.

So I could be going ape shit in Spanish for the first time then!
