Do you have, or can you borrow another SIM card to check your phone?
Is your phone locked to a specific
If the phone works with the alternate card, then your SIM may be damaged.
If so you can purchase another SIM card from your provider and they should then be able to transfer your subscriber information to the new SIM card.
If when you connect you get a Network Lock message and a dialog box to enter a key, the phone is most likely locked to a specific carrier and you need the unlock code to proceed.
Do you have an unlock code?

SOURCE: RIM BlackBerry 7290 network problem

James

This seems to be the multimillion dollar question for Blackberrys and here is how this works.
There is no "magical"code for all BB's
Each Blackberry is item specific based on your IMEI which is located on the inside of your battery compartment.
Your best bet is to go to eBay or similiar and find your blackberry and look for the cheapest unlocking program. AT that point you will be able open your Blackberry.

SOURCE: Invalid sim

That's cause your phone , you buy bundle with sim card, so provider protect phone to use sim by other provider, or you ever set phones password to use sim, if nothing like that go to service center to solved your problem.

SOURCE: a message pops up saying: Invalid or missing sim card. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider supposrts it. I have a sim card in their but i guess it doesn't read it?? HELP ME PL

Is this phone from the same service provider as your simcard? If not, not all phones are unlocked to work with the sim cards of rival companies. If both the phone and sim card are from the sam company, then you can have the company replace your sim card. They usually do this for free as a courtesy as long as you explain the problem to them. Hope this helps

1. If you have changed your phone password, change your password back to thedefault 8 zeros (00000000).
1a. NOTE (Modification here by my experience): Goto SETTINGS, SECURITY, thenSIM LOCK and disable this before proceeding.
2. Put a SIM card that is from a network other than the one your phone islocked to
3. When Incorrect SIM error comes up, type *#9998*3323#.
4. White screen will appear with an exit option. Press the right softkey.
5. From the menu that appears, select the Malloc Fail option. This will rebootthe phone and the normal service screens will appear.
6. Type *0141# and then press the green call key. "Personalization"or "Personalized" will appear.
7. Turn off your phone and put the original SIM back in.
8. Turn on your phone. You will receive a prompt to enter a password.
9. Type 8 zeros (00000000) (This is because the SIM LOCK mentioned earlier getsswitched back on)
10. Completed. You have now unlocked your phone.

tested on e900 and d900 phones - may work on similar models but not sure
