Author Topic: Mobile Phone Error "No Network Found" Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 06-29-2004 08:55 PM                        Any body out there had a similar problem ,I have bought a second hand GSM Nokia 3315 Handset and tested the phone with my own SIM2 Card and it seemed to start and work OK , but there was no Signal Bars on the phone , so I checked the Network detect and chose manual but the Error "No Network Found STOP" came up each time , I then tried with my daughters Pre-Pay or "pay as U go" but got the same Error , I downloaded the unlock Code for the phone and it said that the SIM was not locked , the only options are a Hardware fault (but the previous owner reports no problems finding Networks B4) or maybe the handset is locked , so I took it to a service Centre and they report that it is not stolen , so only hope is to get my money back .  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

EDIT = update on the NZ GSM Network = visiting new zealand? Vodafone New Zealand operate a GSM Network on the 900Mhz frequency. If you own a mobile phone that operates on a GSM 900 network and is not locked to your home network, you should be able to use your phone on our network. If you have been set up to Global Roam to New Zealand you will be able to switch on your mobile and use it just as you would at home. Alternatively, you could purchase a Prepay connection pack for NZ$35 from a Vodafone store in New Zealand. This will provide you with a SIM card and up to $15 in airtime credit. We suggest you speak to one of our sales representatives to find out which option would best suit your needs.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-30-2004 12:08 AM                        Examine each cell under a powerful microscope & make sure its DNA is not damaged.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-30-2004 07:15 AM                     Paul, switch to Telecom, no dead zones where ever I travel.  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 06-30-2004 02:16 PM                        Yes maybe the answer , I used to have a Telecom handset and my wife Vodafone and I always had the best reception .  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 06-30-2004 03:04 PM                     "Paul, switch to Telecom, no dead zones where ever I travel."---- Dear David and Paul.
