I’ve switched to a new PAYG or Sim-only mobile provider, but the new Sim card won’t work in my old mobile handset. Why not?

HI is your new sim card not workin your old mobile phone mean then first check that whether the phone is locked or unlocked one .If the phone is unlocked then it will freely accept any GSM sim .Else if the phone is locked to some network provider then it wont accept other network sim until you unlock it ….You can easily unlock your phone using sites like SuperUnlockCodes.com here they are rendering unlock code for all mobile models at reliable cost ….After unlocking the phone you can freely use it with any GSM sim ….

To discourage switching, some mobile providers such as Orange and Vodafone lock handsets so you can use the phone only with their Sim cards. You can ask the provider that supplied your phone to unlock it for use with a new network, but you may have to pay around £20. Websites such as Trycktill let you unlock your handset for free, but it can be fiddly.
