Hi Nokia people !
A time ago, I bought my Nokia 3310 in Hungary. I used a SIM card of the
pannongsm provider. Recently, I went to Belgium. There I bought a new
(Belgian) SIM card of the Base provider. After replacing the SIM card, it
doesn't accept my SIM card after entering the pin code. This is strange.
I always thought you can put whatever SIM card in whatever mobile phone. It
seems that this is not the case. Or did I forget to set a setting before
replacing the SIM card ? Is the cause of the problem located in the Nokia
phone or the SIM card of the new provider ?
Is there anybody who can help me ???
Thanks a lot in advance !!
Alain

My guess is that the phone is locked to the Hungarian
network. It can be unlocked with a cable and software.
or it can also be unlocked using a code.
