Hi, I have purchased a second hand Nokia 6600 from ebay.
I have tried a number of sims, being but it is only coming up "SIM CARD
REGISTRATION FAILED"
What does this mean?
I can use all the phones features but it will not connect of get a signal.
Help please
Thanks
Pete

Either locked to one particular network, or the IMEI is registered as lost /
stolen phone. What country are you in? Some countries (most?) don't bother
with a stolen IMEI list, in which case it must be locked.

It's blacklisted.

The original owner of the phone has reported it stolen or lost, and the
phone's IMEI is on the IMEI blacklist.

Contact the vendor and/or the police.
