Most phone providers have changed the sims card to were they are programmed to work only on the phone it originaly came with same thing if u just buy a sims card whatever phone u call in and program it to is the only that will recognize it thats so people cant just put a sims in any phone and use im assuming they realized they were losing money because so many people were doing that and using old phones or whatever instead of buying a new my advice would be to call your service provider and see what they say i was told its some kind of code you can put in to reverse but i have the same problem and realy need my numbers off that sims

Just take your battery out along with your sim card and place it back. Then, turn off your phone for a few minutes and that should solve your problem(s). OK? Let me know if you need more assistance. Steph
