Hello,

I put my new SIM card in my phone, and it says "insert correct SIM card." I've checked my account, my Free mobile line is activated and the number portability is complete. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears... thanks.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 11.0

I ordered a Free SIM card for the €2 plan and received it in less than a week. I tried to use it on a Sony Ericsson W810 that has been unlocked for a long time, and I get the message "insert correct SIM card" after entering the default PIN code provided by Free when activating my new number.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance.

Pour quitter SFR et passer à Orange Cameroun, vous devez suivre ces étapes : 1. Vérifiez si votre numéro est éligible à la portabilité. 2. Contactez le service client de SFR pour demander la résiliation de votre contrat. 3. Souscrivez un nouveau contrat chez Orange Cameroun. 4. Fournissez à Orange les informations nécessaires pour la portabilité de votre numéro. 5. Suivez les instructions d'Orange Cameroun pour finaliser votre transfert. Assurez-vous de ne pas avoir de frais de résiliation à payer chez SFR et vérifiez les offres d'Orange Cameroun.

Hello, Free has 2 types of SIM cards that they send to customers, one of which must be powered by 5 volts (the other by 4V) and unfortunately, this issue with 5V occurs on older mobiles (2 years is old for a mobile ;) ) that cannot be properly powered.
Free will proceed with a replacement and send you a new SIM upon request and explanation of the problem.
Of course, there may be other causes, but this one is the most common.
