Default Insert SIM card error with any SIM Card I use???

Please Login to Remove!

I have this problem with my BB Bold. It says Insert SIM Card even when I have inserted a sim card. I tried different SIMs and it is the same.

This blackberry is not from any carrier. The phone had a blackberry plan at UTS in curacao Netherlands Antilles. Is it possible that it was blocked by this provider. It even does not recognize a SIM card from this provider.

Strange?? Any help will be very helpfull. Thanks!!

Is it truly an unbranded Bold?

Take the battery out, wait 10 seconds and put it back in.

Me too. I have the same problem with a BB Bold that RIM gift me the last year on the Blackbberry developere conference on CA.

The first 3 months was working fine and later it occured this problem. I already upgrade/downgrade it and it doesn't detect the SIM yet.

Actually I only use it like a camera and for listen music jejejeje :(


If anybody has a solution share it please.

Regards.

I had two 7290 units from T-Mobile that did this to me, it was determined by T-Mobile that the SIM reader was not functional and the units needed replacement. Units were out of warranty so I moved to a new unit.
