When trying to top up the pre-paid card in my N900: *141* number of pin #, when I press the call button, I get this message: incorrect number. It seems as if the phone doesnt recognize the * and considers it a normal phone number I am trying to call. I would appreciate some advise to have the N900 accept the code so that I can top up the pre-paid card?
View 7 RepliesI recently got a new Verizon phone and have stopped using ATT. As a result, I still have my old ATT cell phone. I was wondering if its possible to just buy a SIM card with a few hundred minutes on it and then use the phone whenever I needed an extra phone. I don't want to have to pay per day or every use type of thing, I just want a phone that can call out, dont even really need it to call to.

I just got my iPhone 4 and and was setting it up. It's asking me to verify my my credit card info. My credit card expired and I didn't want to renew it so now I don't have a credit card. Is there anyway to get my iTunes account activated again? Would a prepaid credit card work? I googled it but got mix responses, and after being on hold with apple for 40 knobs my phone died earlier. Anyways, I made a new account that works, but now I can't dl all the apps I already paid for on my original account.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHere is the poblem I have since yesterday. If I put my friend's Sim Card in my N900, everything works fine. If I put my own Sim Card into my friend's phone, everything also works fine. If I put my own sim card into my N900, and try to make call immediate after the screen boots up (icons are slow then, still loading), then it also works fine.
However if my N900 properly boots up, then I cannot make calls at all. Setting it to offline mode then normal mode will not register with my network and result in Sim Card registration error if I wait long enough. So it seems like my N900 won't take my Sim Card after booting. it will take it during booting, but some process killed it. Can someone help me solve this? I do not remember installing anything since last time it worked.
My N900 can't recognize or see memory card. is this part of the big failure or peculiar to mine. Worst still, I cant use check my credit balance using the code *556#, load credit. It doesnt with pc suite, nor with the ovi suite, map updater, map loader! is this a fraud or what?

View 14 Replies View RelatedYesterday evening, I suddenly couldn't get a GPRS or any other phone signal on my phone. On switching off/on, I was informed of the above error message.I tried rebooting the phone via the 'u' key (battery out) process and this did not solve the problem. I tried the SIM card in my old phone and it worked perfectly.The N900 WLAN works normally.I did nothing unusual with the phone yesterday evening so I am bemused at this error suddenly happening.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just got my N900 about 2 days back, my sister dropped it and it would not turned on. I flashed it, and now it turns on but it does not recognize my internal memory card. I don't have an external card. I can't use camera, all websites show blank, and I get low error messages on almost everything else due to this.
If I go to settings/memory the the device memory is full and available memory for installable applications is at 80 MB. There is no corrupt memory card message. Also if I go to backup utility I get a "no memory card inserted" message. Any suggestions?
The title pretty much sums up my problem. I used the instructions from here to re-flash my N900.

And now as the N900 starts (takes a really long time) it does not ask for the SIM-card PIN code and as it is started it just shows a SIM-card icon with a red line over it near the battery icon. SIM-card is fine as it works on my N95. Any ideas what's wrong? I also tried another SIM-card. Nothing. And PC-Suite is not recognizing the phone either. I even tried flashing the eMMC but it didn't make any difference. The small lights in the bottom of the screen just blink for about 45 seconds and then after the boot video the phone start as if no SIM-card is there.
Couldn't get my n900 to work on WLAN, with SIM or without SIM card.apparently everything works fine, except the device keep saying that couldn't find the IP address.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor starters i love this handst but getting very annoyed by this fault I keep on having.Pretty much i am on my 3rd N900 as my last two kept on telling me to insert a sim card when there was one in there which worked with other phones and other sim cards did the same thing in the phone. Also it is always loosing the signal.usually a quick reset fixes this problem but now this phone won't pick it up at all. It has had no signal for 24 hours. Sim works in other phones and other simcards have the same problem in this phone.
I have changed from dual to gsm and 3g but still no luck. Carphonewarehouse says it is a antenee problem but this has happened to 3 of them!! Any ideas, as i am looking to swap it for the Nexus One which i don't really want to do but will be forced to if none of you have a fix.
I can't get the WLAN to work without a SIM-card in the phone. I have the same problem if there is a SIM in the phone but I choose not to enter then pin when starting the phone. I have set up a WLAN that works fine with the SIM enabled so it seems as the settings are fine. Is there something special I have to do to enable the WLAN when there is no SIM in the phone?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI got my N900 monday together with a new O2 sim card. It worked fine on monday and tuesday, but since yesterday, the connectivity to the O2 network is down. When I start up the phone, it asks for the PIN; so it seems that the sim card is recognized. But it does not connect to the network! The provider name does not appear next to the status bar, and there is no connectivity indicator on the status bar. Offline mode is disabled, of course.
Text messages cannot be send; when I try to call someone, I get an error (translated from german: "network not available" or similar). The strange thing is that sometimes I can reach the network for very short time. I then get missed test messages, but that's it. The connection lasts for not more than 2-3 minutes, I guess. I tried another sim card, and this one did not work, too. The sim card was placed properly into the slot. Is there anything I can do, or may this be a well-known firmware bug?
I am new in this forum. Please could any one tell me how do i save files on the memory card.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI do really have serious problem. I have nokia N900 which is U.S.A. I was trying to update through flasher, then the phone doesn't complete booting I mean just stuck on booting. I did try another version, and also doesn't work. The phone only accept one or tow version which is a Global RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM and Middle East version RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM. Just accepting the old version. When I update to latest version, it just stuck for more than 4 hours on the 5 dots or booting.
I did read almost or all the posts talking about this problem and no one worked with me. I did flash it with EMMC first then OS but also nothing happened. And when I flash with the old global, the phone boot up and work fine but when I check the IMEI there is nothing show up. And there is red line on the top on the sim card. I tried many SIM card. But nothing work. I hope I can find solution.
NOTE: The phone out of warranty.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of a way to use a 2G iPhone prepaid.
all i really care about is talk, text, i/m and mms.
Here are the specs for my phone:
iPhone Model: 3g (US)
Network: O2 Wireless
Carrier: AT&T 5.5
Modem Firmware: 5.11.07
OS: 3.1.2 (7d11), currently unlocked & jailbroken with blacksn0w
Here is my desired outcome:
Use O2 prepaid SIM with the new OS 4.0, get the push alerts for my apps. I don't really care if I can jailbreak it or not, I don't have any use for the rock or cydia, so this is secondary.
Here is what I do know:
O2 wireless (prepaid, US), runs over network, was told by O2 wireless CSR that any unlocked phone may use the O2 SIM. When I was a subscriber on the network I received all my push alerts, now I only receive my email push alerts and they are sometimes delayed.
My question:
Since O2 wireless runs over the network, do I still need to have my iPhone 3g unlocked? Or do I need to unlock it again? Will I loose my unlock (with the 3.0 upgrade my unlock remained) once I update to 4.0? Will I now receive app push alerts?
What is the best U.S. prepaid carrier i can use for an iPhone 3G? I currently can't use my plan so i have to use prepaid for a few months at the max. I don't need data. (although data would be nice )
View 24 Replies View RelatedAny thoughts on whether its worth the extra money to buy the 3G versus 2G when I am only using it for the phone and apps?
