Hi,
I need some help, I have a MDA Compact 3 unlocked. I want to use it on the 3 network but when I insert the sim and switch on it says "insert sim". I contacted HTC they say it should work but contact my provider, I contacted 3 they say it might work.
I would be grateful for any advice

"Insert SIM" sounds more like a broken SIM Card, Contact your provider and ask for a new one.
If the device would not connect to the Network it would at least say "Wrong SIM" or "Locked" or something that indicates that a SIM Card is installed but the phone is not free for the Network.
For me, your message however indicates that the SIM Card is not recognized. Have you tried it in another phone, or cleaned the contacts?
Hi,
I have tried the sim card in a Sony Ericsson P990 non 3 phone and works fine, I was told by 3 that the handset had to be 3g, not sure if the MDA Compact 3 is, I was sold this phone as a 3g phone, but not sure.
I just don't understand why it doesn't work.

MDA Compact III is not 3g compatible handset. This is why it doesn't work. P990i is a 3g handset.

Hi All,
I noticed yesterday that my MDA Pro (T-mobile UK) had re-booted and come up with the SIM lock keypad, BUT there was the following error invalid or missing sim card.
Now, I tried a soft & hard reset and took the SIM out and re-fitted it without success.
I re-ran Buzz's Universal SIM unlock but still no joy.
I've had the PDA for several months (got it on ebay) used many ROM's without any problems what so ever until yesterday. I left the phone this morning updating with the latest T-Mobile (UK) ROM... now what is wrong??
(1) Is there a fault with the SIM card??
(2) Have T-mobile found out that my phone is now different to my original contract phone? and blocked the SIM/phone??
(3) Is there a hardware issue with my MDA Pro..
I guess I'll try the SIM in my wife's unlocked orange phone to check.
The odd thing is that my MDA had been connected to my PC all this week (I haven't taken it out) and the SIM problem only showed up yesterday?
Any help gladly received (
Cheers
John
Cleaning the sim card and the connectors on the phones with a dry cloth works for me.....
Just tried my SIM card in my wife's unlocked SE Z600 and it says "No SIM" - so I guess my sim card has died?? - Is this possible???
Definately Duff !! T-mobile sending me a SIM free of charge!!
Hi,
I've tried to use my company simcard within my MDA Compact 2 but it won't work!! Any suggestions? The Compact 2 is probably simlocked but since I also use T-mobile in privat I got no idea why it doesn't work!
I got the new ROM update from T-Mobile Austria!
Please Help
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Your company is using T-mobile
You personally uses T-Mobile
You are in Austria
You used the Austria T-mobile upgrade
Right?
What is the message you see when you use your company SIM
absolutly right!
The SIM says T-Mobile! The SIM Card is working fine on my company cell phone!
This is really strange! There shouldn't be any difference between privat and company contracts cause it's the same network (T-Mobile)
The Compact 2 acts like there's no SIM Card in it
... T-Mobile Austria provided a ROM update to solve some bugs!
Before I switched to the new update I tryed the company SIM - Same result!
if the sim card is old it may not be compatible with the device
it's been know to happen
would it make any difference on an unlocked phone?
Or is it not possible to use this sim card at all?
If the phone act as though as there is no SIM card at all, it doesn't sound like a locked phone. a locked phone will gives you various unhelpful messages. Probably as Rudegar said, in compatible SIM card. I have not heard any thing (case or solution) on SIM incompatibility. Can't help you.
one could always ask for a new sim
i've don that before my network sendt me
one right away
I guess I'll try to get a new SIM!
This will probably solve the problem
Cheers, guys
Hi all,
this is my first posting here.
I have recently bought an unlocked TMobile MDA II off of ebay. The phone arrived and I thought if I insert my Rogers sim card it should work. Proven to be wrong, after inserting the simcard, whatever I do, it would not register with network. It shows me "No Service". If I run sim manager application, it shows me all the contacts information stored in it. Called few telephone techies, and they all said, it may not be an locking issue. Some thing else. One suggested that it could be radio band issue. T Mobile 1800 vs
Rogers 900/1800. Dont know what to check, or what to do. Would appreciate if some one could help.
Thanks
Pat
I got a Tmobile compact IV (diamond) sevral weeks ago in nerthlands. and flash the rom successfully.
However ,there is a boring issue that the machine always went to death when the TMOBILE sim card inserted in. while i use other sim cards it can work!!
I really dont know what is the hell going on with the fuking machine. I even unlock the sim lock and pay for 15 euros!! The mater still exist~~
forgive my bad english . and anybody can help me ?
maybe you have a faulty sim card?? try another t mobile sim card - if you unlocked it and all other sims work it should be fine
Up to what state it boots up before dying.
i also got my t-mobile phone recently.
when i inserted the t-mobile sim card in, it froze the mobile while searching for network...
t-mobile told me that is because my sim card from t-mobile is not activated yet and it usually takes 48 hours before I can use it.
when did you choose to "activate your contract"? did you choose to activate it immediately?
you can try the t-mobile sim card on other phone. it must also show "limited service".
I guess the problem is not your phone.
hi my fiance has just bought a sony xperia s from her girlyfriend and there both on the same network wich is 3uk she got it off her friend because her contract ran out so she upgraded to a iphone 5 still on the same network and number so she had no use for the xperia s. so my question starts here by asking why? when my g/f puts her 3 sim in it says no service??? but it can read the sim card asin see her numbers on the phone etc etc but when her friend puts her 3 contract sim in it works as normal full signal use internet through 3g an apps etc
its quite puzzling so i thought maybe you guys could help :good:
May b its locked to particular number (which I have never heard of before) or
The other 3 sim may b out of service
And half the moment I was having difficulty to sort out who purchased who gave what are they in relations
