Hi Terry, Is the N73 from the same mobile phone company? If not, is it sim-free? If it is not sim-free, then it could be sim-locked to one operator. Failing that, maybe you are not pushing the card in properly, I have seen that before too. In any event, the sim isn't being recognised, or is invalid. It doesn't sound like there is anything wrong with the phone. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

Each time I turn it on, it askes whether I wish to stay in off line mode. When I answer no, by pressing key two, it eventually says that it is unable to go on-line. The sim card will only fit in one way, so I know its in correctly. I've also tried making it go on-line when the phone is fully booted up, and it still won't. My sim works in my 6630, and this is only a recent problem with my n73. Does anyone know why this may be happening? Any assistance appreciated.
