Ive got a working SIM, T-Mobile PAYG, which I'd rather not change. It
functions perfectly in my 8310. Putting the SIM in either my 6210 or
7110 gives the message "Insert SIM card" on *either* phone - theres no
message about the phone being locked to a particular network, it just
says theres no SIM there. I know for sure the 6210 is unlocked - not
convinced about the 7110 yet though. Any ideas gratefully received.
Oh, I also have a DLR-3 cable, if that could help!

Both phones now working correctly. The *only* reason Im replying here
is who knows, there may be another halfwit comes along in a few months
and googles for the same problem, whos done exactly the same thing as
I did and not slid the tiny metal cover over the SIM card before
putting the battery cover back on top! Yep, it was that simple - my
8310 has a little plastic cradle that the SIM sits inand Ive never had
one of these older phones with the metal slide. I pushed it back, and
all is working properly
