I sold my Tilt the new owner put several Sim card in the Tilt and it doesn't work. The phone worked great with my sim card from my Bold. Providing that he has not damage it what do you think is the problem. I also had the same problem with a Mot w600. When the woman returned it to me it work fine with my sim. I resold it and never the new own did not have a problem.
The person who bought the Tilt is a ATT customer. They are sending it back and i will test it with my SIm and put it up for sale. But why would it not work for thier SIM
ANYBODY

Hi all. I just sold my used Cingular branded SX66 and all of its accessories on ebay. I did not include a SIM card. The buyer received it today and says the phone won't work and would I please send him the original SIM card. Does anybody do that...send their SIM card along in a sale? Even if I am not using that old SIM card anymore, doesn't it have my phone # info on it. And won't that be useless to him anyhow? I directed him to get a SIM card at a ATT retail store with his account info on it and he would be able to start making calls. Am I confused here about SIM cards?
Thanks
well, of course the "phone" won't work without a sim card.
Don't send your sim card along, either he's trying to fool you or he is stupid!!!
the device itself should work just fine without a sim, but calls, sms, mms and other network services can't work, because the sim is your connection to your provider, it gives your phone a tel number and let's your provider charge you.
as i am not quite sure, whether you or the buyer were aware of that, i hope you carefully deleted all your personal data from the device, as there is the possibility that your customer wants to steal personal data from you along with your sim card, or fool you financially, because WITH YOUR SIM HE MAKES CALLS AND YOU ARE BILLED!!!
Hmpph, Was this your listing?

Anyway, if you didn't specify that you would include an SIM, you don't have to.
If I sim unlock my tilt 2, will it take an att go phone sim card? Right now it says sim card invalid.

Probably so. I don't see why it wouldn't take it. A SIM unlock allows you to insert any carrier's SIM card for use on a GSM network.
When did you get the tilt?
I have been using my unlocked tilt2 with a go phone sim card for the past 6 months. Does the SIM card work with other phones? If not, maybe bad SIM card. If so, not sure what is up..
Try a new SIM card see if that works. I know if you bought the gophone in a kit you know one of the boxed ones in the electronics department the sims in the those phones are locked for 6 months i believe get a new SIM card activate it and your good to go if its an At&t tilt2 you shouldnt even need the device unlocked just from my experience and reading other fourms.. Hope this helps you or someone else
Data on newer tmobile micro sim cards in US will not work with international htc one x this is a fact now its impossible to manuelly or automaticly set up apn, phone refuses to recognize new micro sim and even when you fill all fields in apn settings and save phone itself just reset everything and delete new apn and message is there is no sim card,however calls and sms works but data no,i tryed even various apps from market like apn global and others its the same its just not possible,i found out only that older tmobile sim cards they call them non gba sim card will work, those are one withouth pictures of people painted so just plain white with pink tmobile letters and they needs to have number 50.01.im using different carrier then tmobile i have data normaly but im trying to sell this phone and i get 2 deals cancelled because of this is there any different solution then chasing old tmobile cards and they are pretty rare now.
There probably won't be a fix coming anytime soon. I'm one of the unfortunate ones without a old micro sim card. However, you could first talk to customer service online, and let them know this issue you're having. (Make sure they put a note on file based on the chat stating that the micro sim card you're looking for is a 50.01 not a 50.05 or any newer.) Then call customer service and tell them that you spoke to a customer rep online and please check the note on file regard sending out a correct replacement micro sim card. I believe they think that a 50.05 micro sim card is also a non gba sim card. I'm hoping the replacement micro sim card arriving next week would be the correct one. If not, cut your old sim card into micro sim size and use it on your One X.
Im not having problems im simple mobile user,i was selling one x and that the reason im asking because data wont work,but i sold the phone anyway that issue with tmobile its because 4G data
My newer micro sim did not allow me to save the Tmobile apn . Switched it to my wife's older sim that I cut down to a micro for her iphone. Entered the T-Mobile APN hit the save button and of course it worked. I was then surprised when I switched my sim back in and it still worked. Had a few 50.01 SIMS ready but did not have to cut any down and call T-Mobile to switch them.

OK, so I've searched these forums, and various other forums, quite extensively to solve my problem here. My buddy purchased an ATT Samsung Galaxy S3 off of a friend. He unlocked the phone, using the free method mentioned within these forums multiple times (entering digits in to the dialpad, going through menus, etc..). With that, he was able to use his T Mobile Straight Talk SIM card to use Straight Talk's services. On a suggestion from me, I told him to save some money, and switch over to T-mobile directly.. get the $30 a month plan. He did.
When he set up his sim card from straight talk, he had to cut it to fix the S3. It worked fine, but when he removed the sim card, he thought he could have damaged the sim card holder. Lo and behold, inserting the T-mobile sim card is netting a "No Sim Card.. Emergency Calls Only" message. I believed possibly he unlocked his phone improperly, based upon the fact that, apparently, per these forums, Straight Talk doesn't require your phone to be unlocked? Regardless, we re-unlocked the phone, using the free method mentioned within these forums, but still the sim card doesn't recognize. We tried my t-mobile sim card, which works fine in my nexus 4, and that didn't recognize.. but his sim card DOES recognize in my phone. We tried a verizon sim card, and that doesn't recognize. We have NOT tried an ATT sim card, but he's going to do so shortly, to see if that recognizes.
Thinking this could be a software issue, I wiped his phone's cache, data, etc.. and reset the phone to factory defaults. Still the no sim card error. So he bought a new sim card holder off e-bay, removed the back, removed the old sim card holder, put the new sim card holder in.. still no sim card error. Still doesn't work with any of the sim cards we've tried.
I then wiped the phone yet again, rooted it, and installed cyanogenmod, thinking possibly that it was software related still. Still, no sim card error. I took the phone apart, cleaned the contacts with a q-tip and denatured alcohol, cleaned the motherboard, cleaned the plugs for the sim card holder... still no sim card error.
So as far as we can tell, the phone is unlocked, rooted, has been tried with a custom rom, stock rom, and the stock rom that worked perfectly fine one week ago. We have replaced any potentially bad hardware (although, potentially, the new hardware could ALSO be bad I suppose). As far as I can see, this is not a software issue, nor is this a hardware issue.. yet, it still doesn't work. I'm really out of possible solutions at this point, and I implore the help of these forums to give me a lead or something for what can be done. This is a nice phone, and my buddy's not that well off; he can't really afford anything other than a flip phone, and he spent a good chunk of cash on a glorified tablet at this point. Please help! Thank you!!!
EDIT: I also tried cramming a piece of paper in to both the old sim card older, and this sim card holder, to ensure the contacts are touching properly
Hi guys I have a problem with my S4, my Sim card is not detected, my problem start 1 month ago, when I come back from vacations fron Mexico, I have a message 2 times a day, " SIM CARD NOT INSERTED".
Unfortunaly my waranty is over last year, so T-mobile send me a new Sim card, and still have the problem.
The strange is that my phone can read a Sim card from Mexican carrier (Telcel), but my T-mobile no, I also tried a diferent Sim
from other carrier and is not detected.
Any ideas to fix this problem? Thank you for you help. I will apreciate.
This is a very common hardware problem. Should be a recall but apparently Samsung can get away with it.
