Rossi Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Ello boyz. I dont kno all that much about phones so I might be being a thicko here. I just got an 02 genie sim pay as u talk, pay £10 monthly (300 free txts a month monkey business). I came from a virgin sim (Pay as you go) and everythin was gd, reception bob on etc. Whacked new 02 sim in, and as soon as my phone fires up, a error appears saying 'SIM card registration failed', all my contacts are there and stuff cos I copied them but I have no reception whatsoever to activate my account. Do I have to put £10 on for all this to work properly?Any ideas? Ta. Edit: all I want to do is activate my sim card by calling a FREE number.

deanie-b Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Never heard of this one before. Have you tryed making an outgoing call yet ?Try ringing your new number ?or try calling 2527 FREE Just to mention also : Putting 10 pounds of credit on (on some networks) activates the sim Edited June 9, 2006 by deanie-b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsol Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Just to confirm, Yeah you do have to put a tenner on before you put the sim in. I'm using one of those sims atm, not bad at all.Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Think I had this problem before it was because my sim card was damaged, so you will need a new one as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
