X10a SIM PIN

[jyjinn]

I unlocked my X10a using a software from cellunlocker.net, but now it won't connect to any network. It says my SIM won't allow connection to this network. Also, when the phone is turned on, it asks for the SIM to be inserted, although it is already in. Finally, it says SIM card is locked and asks for SIM PIN to unlock, but I never had SIM PIN nor my network carrier. Unknown SIM PIN and SIM locked phone... Any suggestions?

do you have a SIM card pin lock? just get a brand new SIM card and try again.

I tried a new SIM card but same problem.

My trouble started when I got my phone unlocked using the software from www.cellunlocker.net.

I've used that website before w/o any problems, you should contact them as your phone might still be locked to that carrier/network

They tried to help but ended up giving up and gave me a refund, with the broken phone...

repair it with SUS or PCC and check again

Hai, Your phone is still locked. Not unlocked.  I think  the software method did not unlock your phone.
