Xperia S sim card problem

[drmody]

Hi everyone,

I've bought Sony Xperia S, very nice device,

But I have a problem that makes me really sad,

My xperia s refuse to accept any micro sim card, I insert one after another from different operators in my country "Egypt" but all don't work,

When put the micro sim, the phone feels it and do a restart to be prepared to use the newly inserted micro sim buy after restart it keeps telling me " no sim card" despite the micro sim in correctly cut & inserted,

I've tried software update & repair , also many different micro sims,  but useless

Can you help me with that !!!?

Did you buy this phone from another country?, as it may be locked into a particular network which would explain why it will not accept any of the Egyptian operators' SIM cards.

Thanks alot for your reply,

Yes, from another country,

If this is the problem, what is the solution !!!?

is it a "Micro" SIM card or did you trimmed your SIM card? if the later then get a regular micro SIM card

You need to contact the network to which the phone is locked into and ask them for the unlocking code.Do you know which mobile network this is?

Yes it's a regular micro sim  not home trimmed, thanks

[drmody]

No... I don't know,

and also the phone never asks me for a code even I have changed the sim many times with different operators of my country ,...

It just feel when sim inserted buy after it restarts , " no sim card " again !!!

Since you've tried both a software update and a repair, this may be a hardware fault, assuming the phone is not network-locked--either way, I suggest you contact the seller and ask for information regarding its origin, or simply ask for a refund.
