My Nokia 5800 mxpress will not read the sim, the phone is otherwise working perfect as in offline mode ....

Can this be fixed ?

Please please please help......:(
 
how old is your sim card? what kind of sim card are you using? is it from a gsm provider? if your sim card is pretty new & from a gsm provider than try the following.

1 turn off the phone
2 remove sim card
3 give it 10 sec's and than put the sim card back in push it as far as it can go use they stylus. MAKE SURE the sim is facing proper way.
4 when the phone comes on if it asks if you want to continue in offline mode select no.
5 if it doesn't ask about offline mode than go into phone settings and select general profile.

if none of this works try another sim card to see if its the phone or the sim.
 
Hi cheers for the reply m8 .........

I havetried this and still it wont read the sim, But it goes straight into offline mode and the phone works perfectly as it will without the sim .... i bought the phone on ebay at christmas and it was on the ORANGE network but then i got it unlocked for O2 and it worked perfect.. this only happened last sunday.....

Can this be fixed........??????????????????????
 
i have the same problem to. Ive been using the Nokia 5800 for 4 months. Working just fine until lately when i turn on the phone, it doesnt display the keypad to type in the PIN number of the Sim card but instead go straight into the wallpaper. I can still see the clock and battery bar working. But nothing else seems to work. I tried turning on the fone without the sim card in offline mode it and it worked normally.
 
Others are asking why 5800 the price is too low.. But features are good.. And there you go, the answer is given.. Hardware problem, the sim card reader is not wise..
 
lol..... its a great phone only for that ..... BUT CAN IT BE FIXED OR HAS ANYONE SUCCESFULLY GOT IT FIXED.?????????????????????
 
Ofcourse it can be fix.. As what i have said, thats a hardware fault. Sim card reader should be fix..
 
I tried other sim cards on and it worked normally. Turns out it is the Sim card problem since i tried the sim card with 2 other nokia fones and none of them worked. Changed to a new sim. You should try to turn on your fone with a different sim card to see if it works probably.
 
2 different account confuse me... Are you sure that phone was unlocked b4? If not then unlock it first..
