sony ericcson k800i

I bought that phone two years ago on orange contract.
It was unlocked on march. Suddenly (from about a week) it shows INNACTIVE SIM message instead of network name on main display. No phone calls outgoing/incoming. Sim card works well in other phones.

Did some research on google , but crackers are hiding proper software (for IMEI CHANGE) that might help :(

Anyone had that problem before ?

Im charging my mp3 now ,and going to buy new phone. Most prolly Nokia 5310 express music . Unlocked , from Nokia dealer,150 pounds.


EDIT : I unlocked phone in march and now it's PAY as You Go not contract. Dunno what's been happening with Contract Sim Card because my friend took this phone on contract ,
I bough this phone from him and he's been using orange simcard.

ye i have the 850i too, it has a pretty nice cam =)

maybe you need a 3G sim card?
I went to my provider and they gave me new simcard.
btw noone of simcards work in my phone. All networks are dead.
Parent
aha , so buy a new one , yesterday I just bought a new phone : Samsung U700 , it's nice , but strange ;DD
Parent
Im going to town as soon as my mp3 player gets fully charged

I think orange should unlock it if the contract expired. This seems to be more than reasonable to me. Did you try to ask them about it?
usually they unlock the card after you phoned them or u bought a 15 € prepaidcard as far as i know...
Parent
I think it should be for free.
Parent
I don't know whether contract is still on or not , someone else's been using original simcard since start. I bought just locked phone ,and ulocked it later on to use diffrent simcard.

And after 5 months it stopped detecting networks . All simcards behave like this in my phone.

Looks like it's fucked or someone changed my IMEI while unlocking and now same number has been reported as stolen :( so my phone has been blocked
Parent
I would first go and ask Orange if they can fix it or at least tell me if it's a hardware problem.
Parent
you shouldnt buy locked phones
Provider has to unlock your phone after 1 year, even if ur contract is 2 years. (Atleast here in NL, dunno bout other countries but will be almost the same)
nokia 5310, good choice :>
nokia 6500 classic ... had samsung, siemens, ericsson before they all sucked ... i used nokia 3210, nokia 6230, nokia 6500 classic for more than 6 years - the rest was crap!
n82 nokia > *
too expensive :P I would buy best phone if I was going for contract. But because Im on
top up I don't want to spend more than 100 pounds. But with this phone you get
2gb mcard + i't unlocked ... that would cost me 50 pounds anyway,
Parent
agree on nokia 5310
have you got it ?
Parent
nope , by my friend got it

i like it cuz its more musicwise
Parent
n95 8Gb > *
i just love my viewty.
i had the same, it was unlocked all the time and suddenly one day tehre was "inactive sim" or smthng ^^ i just turned it off, and on and it worked again :)
maybe try to take out the sim and take in another the nturn it on, turn it off again and take your normal sim in again
i tried :( didn't work.

ive bought new phone , I will try to get software and flash it though.If i succed I'll sell it for
30-40 pounds :P
Parent
first i was also like omgz but try to play around with it i'm sure it will be unlocked again, since it can't be locked if it was unlocked once..i think it just a bug from the software or smthng
