millie100

Hi. can someone please help with unlocking vodafone sim card.My son has played around with pin codes and has locked me out of the sim card with all my phone numbers and codes on it. when i switch the phone on it says sim card rejected. The phone isn`t locked as i`ve tried a different sim card and its fine.
Hope there is help in here.

My daughter did that with her first Virgin simcard, the only answer was a new simcard from Virgin. They sent one for free but I think some networks will charge. They call it "frying" I think

the sim should ask for a PUK code if it has had the PIN enabled and it is put in wrong

you only get 10 tries to put in a correct PUK before it disables the sim card...

try gently cleaning the back of the sim card with a cotton bud to clean the contacts

have you tried the sim in another phone ??

The only thing i can get the phone to do with the sim in it is to give me the serial no by pressing *#06#. I have tried the sim in another phone and it says the same.Tried cleaning the sim.
