No Network Coverage after unlocking SIM
I managed to unlock the SIM for a Nokia 5110, previously locked into BT cellnet, but had been disconnected due to not being used. However when I transferred my Virgin SIM to it I get 'no network coverage' If I try to dial, although it recognises the SIM. If I go into the menu and select networks manually only Vodaphone and BT cellnet appear in the list. If I transfer the SIM back to my original mobile all the networks are shown. Any ideas ?

Welcome
The 5110 is a single-band phone, usually 900 although I was once told there were some for 1800. This is why you have only O2 and Vodafone.0 -
i think the 1800 band were nk4020

The 1800MHz version of the 5110 is the 5146 (One2One - now T-Mobile) or 5130 (Orange - aka NK402).0
