Why does the phone keep telling me to insert my SIM card when I already did? I put my AT&T card in SIM spot1 and my contacts show up fine

I just experienced the same thing. I got the phone yesterday, plugged in a SIM I already had from England and that worked so I went to AT&T;, got a SIM and put it in. It didn't work but the sim worked in other phones and other sims (eg T Mobile) worked in this phone. Now, a couple of hours later, it's working. Go figure.

I have experienced the same, I guess it is beacuse the phone has two SIM card cradles.

It might be that you have the wrong sim slot selected in the setup menu. The menu is at the bottom a couple of pages down with a tool theme. The first choice in the menu is the sim slot and you want to pick sim 1. There are actually 3 slots with one for memory so make sure your sim is actually in a sim slot. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Make sure the connections are lined up. Sometimes, especially when using a SIM adapter, the card needs adjusting until it works.

I brought it into my local AT&T; store and they installed the sim card. Now I had an older phone that required the much bigger sim card and they had no problems flashing one of those as well.

Thanks S.Wanker, Im sure your boss at AT&T; will be quite pleased with your answer. Unfortunatley the only people your helping by that lame post is the AT&T; shareholders. If you dont like the data package make some calls and find someone in charge who can help you, if you get no satisfaction cancel your card so that you cant be charged and than cancel your data package. ;)

After you activate the sim card online or by calling an att rep.. They will assign your sim a number.. Works perfectly!!

It is a dual sim so both sim can be in at the same time in different slots. Dial the number u are calling and it would ask which sim, sim 1 or sim 2. Select your required sim and that is it.

Due to different configurations in carrier networks - some carriers SIM cards may not work properly. A SIM card capable of operating on a 2G network is required.If you choose to use an AT&T; SIM card it may be required that you call AT&T; to have your SIM card "Unlocked" so that it may work with multiple phones and not just the phone it was originally registered with.The current list of carries with known issues is:Boost MobileTracFone4G SIM cards

Yes, I put an AT&T SIM in it and, after a couple of reboots, it works great! Search online how to activate the other SIM if the machine does not accept it quickly.

Hello James, I know that with At&t your hot spot will act like it's own device. Adding your hot spot to your account would be a lot like adding a tablet to your data plan You might be able to put your sim card from your phone into the hot spot, but I'm not 100% sure. I hope this helps. Thanks, Andrew

good afternoon to buy a Alcatel One Unlocked GSM Touchscreen Evolve AT & T T-mobile; when I put my simcard does not accept any phone line to Venezuela as I do to use it because when I try to register it manually or automatically tells me it can not connect try again later, as you might help

Hope your phone is unlocked.Still i think there is loose connection as far as SIM TRAY is concerned..just try to insert the sim and as soon as you get the message (even if the sim tray if not fully inserted) SIM CARD found,try to make a call.If it works then Get the simtray repaired.

Sometimes, when you put a new sim card, you need to turn of the phone and turn it back on. I haven't had any problem with mine but I seldom use it anymore. It was an impulse buy.

My pixi wouldn't recognize the t-mobile card or activate with it, so I found some instructions and found that because my phone originally was an AT&T; phone that was unlocked, I DID HAVE TO start up the phone and do a few things that I can't remember now with an AT&T; sim card. I borrowed one from a friend and went through the process and then was able to put my t-mobile card in and it has been working fine ever since!!

I don't really know the answer to this but felt like chipping in. When I put mine in new out of the packet it just showed a sim with a circle around it until the service kicked in. I remember having to restart the phone. In your case I would suggest putting someone else's active sim in your phone to be sure it's unlocked.

i called an AT&T; corp store the other day to just ask them.. and the sales guy gave me a bunch of BS how they need me to bring in the phone I want the sim for so they can program it and make sure its the right phone for the sim type.Obviously he is full of BS because I know that I already have swapped my current sim between a sony Ericsson w760, C905, and a Nokia N8.. so there is no need to program a sim to the phone...These people in the corp stores don't even know their own jobs.. they are clueless.i just don't want to deal with the nonsense, and risk them messing up my data plan, unless I absolutely have to. i called an AT&T; corp store the other day to just ask them.. and the sales guy gave me a bunch of BS how they need me to bring in the phone I want the sim for so they can program it and make sure its the right phone for the sim type.Obviously he is full of BS because I know that I already have swapped my current sim between a sony Ericsson w760, C905, and a Nokia N8.. so there is no need to program a sim to the phone...These people in the corp stores don't even know their own jobs.. they are clueless.i just don't want to deal with the nonsense, and risk them... » Read More i called an AT&T; corp store the other day to just ask them.. and the sales guy gave me a bunch of BS how they need me to bring in the phone I want the sim for so they can program it and make sure its the right phone for the sim type.Obviously he is full of BS because I know that I already have swapped my current sim between a sony Ericsson w760, C905, and a Nokia N8.. so there is no need to program a sim to the phone...These people in the corp stores don't even know their own jobs.. they are clueless.i just don't want to deal with the nonsense, and risk them messing up my data plan, unless I absolutely have to. « Show Less

Yes, I went to the AT&T store because it didn't seem to fit like the instruction said. The girl who helped me at the door took 10 seconds to place it and I was connected. Not all my numbers transferred so I must have not saved them to the sim card. I'm happy with the phone because I don't need the data service and I don't text a lot.
