MDA Compact 3 on 3

[galiceltico]

Hi,

I need some help, I have a MDA Compact 3 unlocked. I want to use it on the 3 network but when I insert the sim and switch on it says "insert sim". I contacted HTC they say it should work but contact my provider, I contacted 3 they say it might work.

I would be grateful for any advice

Regards

"Insert SIM" sounds more like a broken SIM Card, Contact your provider and ask for a new one.

If the device would not connect to the Network it would at least say "Wrong SIM" or "Locked" or something that indicates that a SIM Card is installed but the phone is not free for the Network.

For me, your message however indicates that the SIM Card is not recognized. Have you tried it in another phone, or cleaned the contacts?

Hi,

I have tried the sim card in a Sony Ericsson P990 non 3 phone and works fine, I was told by 3 that the handset had to be 3g, not sure if the MDA Compact 3 is, I was sold this phone as a 3g phone, but not sure.

I just don't understand why it doesn't work.

MDA Compact III is not 3g compatible handset. This is why it doesn't work. P990i is a 3g handset.
