Screen says emergency calls only & won't let
These are the troubleshooting and resolution steps for customers who see "Emergency Calls Only" or similar messages on their wireless phones. This message normally indicates that the customer lacks a wireless service provider/account or the device/SIM is not recognized.
- Power-cycle the device.
- Power off the phone. While the SIM card is out of the device, clean the SIM card contacts by following these additional steps:
- Gently wipe the SIM with a soft cloth.
- Clean the gold contacts on the SIM card using a pencil eraser.
- Carefully remove all eraser residues from the SIM card.
- Carefully replace the SIM card back into its cavity.
- Check for Liquid damage; refer to Liquid Damage Indicator (LDI) Log.
- Once the SIM card is secure, replace the battery and back cover and power on the phone.
- Place an outbound call.
- If the test call is successful, end the call.
- If the test call is not successful and it is possible, test the SIM card in another known working device.
- To ensure accurate results, the test device must be the same technology as the device in question (UMTS, GSM, etc).
- Ensure the test device is the same type of device (smartphone to smartphone, non-smartphone to non-smartphone).
- If the test call is successful with the SIM in a different phone,
- If the test call is not successful, the SIM needs to be replaced. Or you can call at&t so they can give you a free sim card. it depends on the situation.

I have more or less the same problem. There's one
It could be a sim problem or it could be a manufacturer problem or simply something in you message settings. I would take it to my service providers store because my daughter had a similar problem and the sim and the cell device completely fried and both were only about 2 hours old. I am really adamant about taking my cells to the service providers store when I have issues, mainly because replacement w/o warranty or extended warranty for a good phone is so expensive; therefore, I make use of all warranties while in effect. I hope my advice helps and thanks for the votes and rating of my solution.

Puk code for sony ericsson w5801
Hi,
If you need the PUK ( Personal Unblocking Key ) for your phone, you will have to contact your mobile
phone service provider.
PUK code is related to the SIM card you are using and not the phone. So, kindly call the Customer
support of your mobile service provider and they will provide you with the PUK code fre of charge.
Also, entering a wrong PUK code ten times in a row disables the SIM card permanently. So, please be
careful while entering the PUK code.
Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.
