Solved: Nokia 3310 displaying No Service

Anonymous · ‎25-10-2017

Hi all.

I hope i'm doing something really silly - I have an unlocked 3310. Put an O2 sim in (tried both sim slots) and it just displays No Service.

Is there anything special you have to do or perhaps it's a faulty handset.

Any ideas?

Is it a contract sim that is activated or a payg sim?

Double check that it's inserted correctly and try a different sim too if you can.

Hi @Anonymous you need to top up to activate it. Info here https://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-sims-and-devices/activating-your-sim

Any payg sim should still show a signal even if not topped up I believe.

A new sim will always show a signal and will be able to receive text messages but will direct you to the top up line when trying to call or text. Activation isn't needed, merely a top up.

It certainly is either inserted incorrectly or a faulty sim.

Hopefully the manual link will help.
