I'm having a problem with my phone. My network is Virgin Mobile. Well, on my phone (the T610) it should say the network I am on on the wallpaper page, but it's just blank. There is no network coverage, so I can't make a call. Also, when I go to GSM networks and search the one I want, the one I use (T-Mobile UK) isn't there, and it's automatticly (bad spelling) on 02 UK. When I try to change it to another one it just goes back to 02. I have no credit on my phone at this time. also, I joined up to that 02 text thingy, do you think that might be the problem? When I go onto WAp it says GPRS has failed.

Apart from they didn't. I reckon its just t-mobile having a bad day, as their network is sometimes pretty shabby. I don't think it helps that virgin piggy back of them, but if you are gonna get a new Sim, I would avoid vodafone and go for orange or O2.

I'll give you a simcard if you want.
I think we have all learned a lesson. If your mobile goes haywire. Go back to where you brought it. and let a professional sort it out

I just went to The Carphone Warehouse, and they sorted it out for me. I had the original Virgin Mobile service back and it started working again. But then it mucked up AGAIN and I did the select network thingy and I found T-Mobile network. Then it started working again. But then it mucked up again, and now I'm gonna ring up Virgin Mobile. If this continues, I'm just gonna have to get another SIM card.

The problem, I think, is in the statement. My network is Virgin Mobile . Says it all. Get your self a decent phone & network. That should work.

First of all I need some information.

2. What solution you would like.
Then I will help you.
The original post is a brainfart you see.

Have you, did you enter the incorrect pin more than 3 times (I think thats the amount). I doubt the phone would have blocked on its own (cos you use it quite a bit) but if you have just blocked your sim youneed your PUK code to unlock it (I think so anyway)

I've just tried to change the SIM pin, and I think I've locked the SIm card. I know, I'm an idiot. But I have sim protection off. Also, now when I try to change the network it says No Network.
I haven't yet tried it with a different sim card, because I can't get the damn battery out (Nokia 3100). I haven't topped it up for about 4 weeks. I recently finished my credit about 2-3 days ago. And I keep my phone on a lot. I know the phone code too. I'm not sure if it's because the phone is locked. I mean everything else works except for I can't recieve or make calls. I doubt it's because I have zero credit, is it? And 02 doesn't work with it

So, with a virgin sim (check it hasn't been swiped), you can't get a t-mobile network, but it allows youto use O2 (tried it, does it work?).
One other thing: I asked earlier but have you recently placed another sim in the phone, have you blocked your phone by forgeting your pin etc or have you broken the terms of your contract (ie: Some pay as you go services disconnect you if you don't turn your phone on for six months or top-up within a certain time period).
