I bought a new unlocked Slvr phone from ebay a couple weeks ago. Transferred my prepaid Tmobile sim card, and all has been good until now. All of a sudden whenever I turn on the phone it says "check SIM". Any ideas???

Do you have another sim card you could use to see if it is the phone or sim card? It could be a prepaid, or a post-paid sim card. Maybe a friend's or family member's?

Re: tmobile prepaid - phone problem
Okay, I've completed my testing. I have 3 phones: the new SLVR I've been using with my Tmobile prepaid, my old tmobile phone, and a Cingular phone.
The problem I have is that, after 2 weeks of working, all of a sudden the SLVR is coming up with CHECK SIM as soon as I turn on the phone. These are the steps I took to test:
- remove SIM from SLVR, put back in old Tmobile phone. Everything works fine.
- remove SIM from Cingular phone, put in SLVR, everything works fine.
- put Tmobile SIM back in SLVR, error again.
It looks like it's not a tmobile problem, but why would my Cingular sim work but my Tmobile sim doesn't? The Tmobile sim doesn't seem to have a problem in the old phone.
Where do I go now? Do I assume it's a problem with the phone? I bought this on Ebay as an unlocked phone but it's been almost a month so I'll probably have to go right to Motorola. What can I anticipate for warranty service with Moto?
Thanks!

Problem solved for now - went to Tmobile and they gave me a new sim card. So far so good....
