    hey i was wondering could you help?

    I unlocked my nokia 3200 from the vodafone network(well the guy in the meteor shop did) and i put my meteor sim card in. and for the first day it worked perfect getting calls and messages but now it wont register and i get on screen "sim registration failed". So i put my brothers meteor sim in and it worked perfect.
    Then i put my sim into my brothers fone and it works grand, but i just get that message with my sim in my fone!

    Any ideas?

    Its either 1 of 2 things.

    1. The phone has been reported stolen and the imei blacklisted

    or

    2. The sim you have is faulty or is not compatable with a 3200.


    Either way ring 1905, thats the customer car number for meteor. They will sort it out.

    If the phone has been reported stolen and the IMEI blacklisted it shouldn't work on the Vodafone network either, so I'd go with option 2.

    Seemingly Meteor have acknowledged that they are having issues with the 3200, particularly with relation to MMS.

    Sim registration failed would more than likely be the sim card. Give them a call and they will be able to identify the cause of the problem.

    Yea there has been a problem getting mms working on 3200 (ie it wont). But tech are working on it and sould have it fixed with in 2 weeks. Its an issue with the software and has been a very large pain in my arse.

    Tell me, is there 3 x's on the sim card, after the 12 numbers.

    No there isnt 3 x after the sim number. i gave meteor a ring and the fella didnt know what the problem was and send i should send it off to be fixed, when i told him it works with vodafone so its not the phone, he just said he didnt know what it was.

    this so annoying i might just change to vodafone but then i lose my number and free messages.

    Sorry mate for not getting back to you. The 3x X would meen thats its a 32k sim, what a 3200 is designed for. An older sim ,may, not be full compatable with your phone. Ring 1905 and get them to post you 1.
