Nokia 6230i - No Signal

    I just got a Nokia 6230i as a replacement for a lost SE K750i last week but now my signal has disappeared. I can't make or receive calls.

    I called into Meteor today and they gave me a replacement SIM card and said to wait an hour or two until the car activates. I think it has because it does say Meteor on the screen but there is still no signal.

    Does anyone know what the story is? I reckon it's the phone. What can I do to get this fixed? Will the shop provide a replacement phone for me?

    Thanks

    Since the phone's only a week old, they should give you a replacement phone there and then.
    If you can, try the sim in another phone, or try another sim in your phone. See what happens then.

    Yep sort it out sooner rather than later before the 28 day return to shop runs out, otherwise you won't get a replacement. Another sim would tell you whether it was the phone or just your network. Good luck. :)

    Dont forget to switch off an on your phone when your testing it to go live even when they do the sim change your phone wont just start working you need to switch it off and on to get the new card to register...Also you could try your sim in another phone to see if its live...

    Well they're going to give me a K750i after a little bit of complaining in the shop. Have to say, the standard of Nokia phones has really gone downhill in the last few years.

    Dont judge a manufacturer on one phones performance. I've had plenty of k750i's back, too. There's bogeys in every brand

    JohnnieM: ya the phone was bust. They're giving me a replacement

    SDooM: It wasn't just the fact that it broke. I can understand that. The UI is appaling too. For example, after you've sent a text the text message remains in the buffer. Even when you want to send another message. It reappears after you've sent the message making it unclear whether or not the message has been sent. If you want to clear it you have to go to Options, press down and select Clear Text or else delete it letter by letter. You used to just be able to hold down the clear button and it would delete the entire message.

    Also you can't delete every message in one go, you have to go through each one.

    The shortcuts (i.e. pressing menu and then 4 or 5 or whatever) should bring you straight into the menu instead of ust highlighting it.

    The SE phones keep a recently used list of people for when you want to send messages. That's really handy.

    The whole layout of the UI is just very poor in general. Nokia had a reputation of having the best interface but I don't think that stands to them anymore. It's as if there was no thought put into it at all. I'll be glad to get the K750i back.
