    sounds like it's locked to a network that is different from the sim you're putting in it. Try a local phone unlocker (usually found in markets/town centres etc.)

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
  • ive tried different sims but same message could it be blocked in the uk?

  • Is the phone old? Could be a dirty contact between the sim and the phone. Try giving the sim a gentle clean with something soft. Give the connector on the phone a bit of a clean as well if you can.

    try that.

    if it was barred, you wouldn't get any network signal and the phone would display inactive sim
