    As it says above, I stuck my SIM card in my phone. Hadn’t even used it as a phone yet.

    There was a tray on the side of the phone I was supposed to put the sim in, but this wasn’t clear and now the sim is stuck.

    Really annoyed as I need a phone for work.

    What are my rights?


    You messed up, what do you think your rights are

    Simply take it to a repair shop, pay their bill.

    Put it down to experience.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    This is easily done. I've done it even though I knew and understood that the SIM card was supposed to go on the tray, not directly into the slot.

    I managed to remove it from the slot using a sewing needle and a lot of patience!

    You have to accept responsibility for your own actions I'm afraid!

    You have the right to buy another phone.

    Take it to a small repair shop.
    It's the phone version of an ID10T error on a computer.
    Hopefully they will be kind and understanding (and cheap).

    Remember you've now voided any warranty on the phone. Manuals and Quick Start guides are included for a reason and shouldn't be ignored, I'm afraid
