SOURCE: new mobile but says emergency calls only etc sim.W890i

Sim fine?
But is this handset able to use your sim?
You say the phone is brand new so where did you get it?
Most new phones have software on them that only allows them to be used with ONE network.
So is this handset on your network or has it been "Unlocked" so that it can be used on any network?

To simplify:
If your handset was purchased from a mobile phone shop they would have told you which network it is on eg T mobile.
This means that if your Sim you wish to use in this handset is 02 it will not work in your shiny new handset. All it will allow you to do is "Emergency Calls"
Or maybe it was purchased from somewhere like ebay and NOT from a reputable trader.
This could mean that the phone has in fact been stolen and the owner has registered it as stolen to their network.
If this is the case the handset would be BLOCKED from accessing ANY network so again would give you the "Emergency Calls" only option.
If you are sure that your phone is brand new and legal you can always have it "Unlocked" so that your sim card WILL work in it.
Phone repair shops or phone unlockers will be able to "Unlock" this for you for a small fee.

Maybe not the information you really want to see but I have to tell you all possible reasons. SORRY!!!

Why does it display emergency call only when I dial a number?

There are two possibilities your phone shown emergency call only 1.You mobile phone receives weak signal from near tower so try to Swich off your mobile,wait few seconds and switch on.
2.Your mobile is locked to particular network provider.
If your problem persists after switch on your mobile phone,definitely your mobile phone restricted by some network so try to unlock your mobile phone.You can unlock your mobile phone using network unlock code.It's the best way to unlock your phone.If you need an unlock code for your phone visit ClassicUnlocking.com I hope it will be very useful to you.

Samsung mobile (F480) can detect network but unable to call outside. It immediates displays "Emergency calls only".

Hi,

The mobile sim might be faulty or the tray in the mobile. Diagnose by inserting a spair SIM. To test then you can really know whats wrong.
