How do I register SIM card for new telephone

So long as the old sim card was not damaged and that the new phone is either on the same network or is sim free it should just work after you have fitted it to the new phone.

you can contact the mobile service provider.....

Once you have exceeded the maximum number of passcode attempts, the SIM will become locked and won't allow further attempts.

When that happens you must obtain a PUK code (Personal Unblocking Key). This can only be supplied by the network provider to the registered subscriber.

If the SIM is a prepay credit SIM which has never been registered with the network provider, then the PUK code cannot be provided and the SIM card is useless. All data on it such as the phone number, pre-paid credit and any contacts stored on it will be lost.

The telephone number of the SIM card is not necessary in order to generate a PUK code, but the SIM card serial number will be, and it is always printed on the SIM card.

try inserting another sim card so that u can see the problem is in your mobile or somewhere in sim card... if the problem resists with new sim too then your mobile sim card reader holder is loose..

Thanks for visiting FixYa!

The message you are receiving 'Insert SIM' is due to the SIM card not being registered. (ie., it was registered at one time but is not now.) As such, it cannot receive network information. And, your phone sees this SIM as nothing more than a piece of paper stuck in the SIM card slot.

A single SIM card is not used to activate - and then reactivate - an account. To get service on the phone, a new SIM card will need to be purchased.

If you're in doubt as to whether your phone will recognize a SIM, take your phone to one of your cellular provider's stores and let them test it.

if your sim hasnt registered when you put it in the phone, either go online to your network provider and register your sim, or telephone your network provider who will register it over the telephone. hope this helps

Hi,
Don't worry this is small issue:
There are reason why this will happen
1)The Sim card would have been damaged.If u see scratches on the Sim card please remove it and clean on the gold plantings and check.
2)Place the Sim card properly some time loose contact the Sim card gold plating with the phone Sim card connectors may cause it..
3)Some times your network service provider would have deactivated or is not registered on your phone.Call the network provider and say about the problem,he will solve it or he will give new Sim card for free for replacement if it damaged badly.
4)This will be last cause the phone Sim connector should be damaged.you have solder it replace it.

Please do rate the solution if the issue is
resolved or post a comment for further
assistance.
