Xperia X10 Sim Card Problem

[#1]

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with what I assume is a simple query!

I recently purchased an Xperia X10 and have inserted my sim from my old W995. Whilst I'm prompted for my sim pin number (which works), I can't get any of my contact details. In the phonebook - I keep getting the following message -> My number: SIM card unavailable

Hope someone can help

Tks

Hi,

This is typically a case of older SIM cards or SIM cards that simply don't support this.

By getting your contact details, do you mean copying your contacts from the SIM to the phone? You should still be able to do this: Phonebook > MENU key > More > Import contacts.

The SIM card unavailable just refers to displaying your personal number.

Hi Jeff - Thanks for your help. This worked!

Cheers

When I upgraded back in June, when I initially put my sim in the  phone, this displayed fine.  But, when I upgraded, the sales assistant  recommended that I get a new sim card (I'd had mine for seven and a half  years!) to make it speedier.  This it did.  But since changing to this  new sim, my phone does not display my number.  I've put the sim back in  my old phone, and followed the suggestions on here.  But it doesn't  work.  There are some PTT apps that need this to function.  There seem  to be lots of users with this issue.

Any ideas please?

                                 I bought a Xperia X10 yesterday. I inserted my old SIM card in this mobile , But when ever i m opening contacts its showing "SIM card unavailable" , though i can search my contacts through SIM toolkit options (But if i make a call Name of the contact is not appearing , and same happens when somebody whose Number is there in my SIM calls me !!! ) . I tried IMPORT options also But "No Contacts On Your SIM Card " this Message appears on the screen.

Hi,

Not all SIM cards are able to be read by Android phones.

I suggest you put your SIM in your previous phone, copy your contacts to the PC and then move them to Gmail or Sony Ericsson Sync application and then copy them to the phone.

Problem: "SIM card is faulty", even after changing SIMs twice

Fix: ???????

Hi Sharylm, my suggestion would be to try the 3rd one. Also to try those 2 SIM cards with another phone.
