I have a w850i and the sceen shows emergency calls

Try other sim cards in the phone to be sure the problem is not from the sim. When you are sure the problem is not from the sim, try to reset the phones's factory settings. If it still does not work, then flash the phone.
If the fault was detected to be a sim fault, then get another line of the same network, and call your mobile service operators.
Hope this was helpful?

Most Samsung Mobile show signal tower even if there's no network accessible. I am not very sure about this model, but you can find out, install an expired sim card and check if the network tower is showing or not, or you can just power it on without sim card and check the status of the network tower.

If you suspect the Phone, then first try your sim card on another handset/mobile and make a call using the sim card. In case it's working, then the problem is with your phone, could be settings or could be hardware or software related issue.

Reset your phone settings to it's factory default by going to the "Restore Factory" or "Master Reset" and make the changes. Try searching the Network Manually and do check the network settings very carefully. With many Samsung mobiles, there's an option that allows us to select the Network Band, so verify that there's no band selection problem. You can make the changes after you go to the Network Settings. The simplest method is to Reset the Settings to it's Factory Default.

Good luck.

Hi
Sounds like you have no signal for the network your on.
Even though the phone shows signal bars, this is for a reception it has found for other networks around you. Networks allow emergency calls to be made by all mobiles regardless of network.

Has it ever worked with your sim? Does it work in other areas you travel? Does it work with another networks sim?

Another possibilty is if you have only just got the phone was it from new? If you have purchased it second hand there is a possibility that the mobiles imei is on a barring list for being reported lost or stolen? If you call your network they have a data base they can check for you. If it is listed as barred there is nothing you can do apart from take it back to where you got it from?
Hope that helps?

mga boss ayw gumana keypad ng w850 anong pyesa gagalawin k thanks

hello sir,
this emergency calls only is seen only when ur SIM is not activated or ur cell phone dosent catches the signal. Well it shows the signal full but thats the FAKE signal.
If ur SIM is activated try the MOBILE NETWORKS in the SETTINGS option  >  Connectivity
U will search for new networks and u will find ur NETWORK Operator

If ur SIM is invalid u wil continue receving the same message  "emergency calls only"

Hi,

This could be due to a faulty sim card or a software problem. Check to see if the sim card is not damaged. Try it in another phone or try another sim in your W850. If there is nothing wrong with the sim then you can try a master reset or software flash of the phone (back up everything since this erases all data).

bert - try another usb port

guest - reformat the card

hi there did you try to reset the phone? if not go to menu, settings, master reset, reset settings, then it will ask a code, default code 0000 unless you have'nt change it. but if you choose master clear it will erase everything contact, musics, etc.
