Hello,
I am new here and I hope im posting to the right place. All i know is my best friend gave me her old eternity when she upgraded to a newer phone...I put my sim card in and its not working.there are no contacts and it says emergency calls only , but it doesnt say No sim mode. When i take the sim card out then it says no sim mode.dont know what the problem is the sim has the 3G thing. I dont have a plan, I have go phone but a pick your plan...Is this whats causing this????Does anyone know what I can do to fix this????Please help thanks...

From what I'm understanding, you have a GoPhone account (Pick your plan) and when you insert your SIM card into the phone, it recognizes the card but won't allow you to make calls or use any other network features?
Does your SIM card work in other phones?
If it doesn't, were you using a phone before the Eternity, because if you were not then you must get it activated.
Also, I just remembered that now the SIM cards that come with GoPhones that you buy at places like Walmart are locked to the device. I would take the SIM into an AT&T store and see if they can unlock it for you (although I think you have to be at least 6 months into having the account)

yeah, well, when somebody asks the same question a dozen times with multiple accounts and then twenty minutes later another new name appears asking the same question, you're gonna get some attitude

because of the time that the phone and site have been out, the activity has slowed to a snails pace. we then have multiple accounts created all saying the same thing at the same time.
no, no one (except possibly lee) thought you were a different person or else others would have answered you. possibly even someone would have told me that your ip is different making it a good chance that you are a different person. they haven't.
i'm still not even convinced that you aren't the same person. i think that you simply finally gave enough information that something worked.

>>coincidentally, there hasn't been another new account or topic on this subject since its been answered. i may or may not be a paranoid untrusting conspiracy theorist, but i think a jury could come to a unanimous verdict on this one.  <<



so what you need to do is quit talking in caps and move on to another topic. this one has been solved.

Now now, we have to play nice!  Cheesy

Asking the same question or similar will happen on a tech/support forum as people will always have questions wanting quick results/answers.  There will come a time when there isnt any "useful" answers from the other topics already solved so thats when you most likely either bring up a reply on that thread (but will also cause people to overreact on the fact that an old thread has been brought back up) or create a new thread in this case.

Even if the answer or thread is the exact same, at least guide them to it rather than asking them if they're serious or not. But at the same time this is an online forum and not everyone will be on the same page and may cause a little conflict. Overall be nice at both answering and replying to a post.

I can see how both sides have their faults but shouldnt be taken seriously, just make sure next time ...

@nunya, reply accordingly to the question, i know you sometimes have a joke or have sarcastic replies and its a given since questions do arise that make you go  Huh but take it from their perspective on trying to get a question answered...

@cheekes, you're new to the forums, welcome, though if you've been here longer you would be used to nunya's post/comments/replies but you shouldn't take it too seriously, again taking from nunya's point of view, he has seen similar type posts so we cant win them all Tongue

anyways question has been solved! (thanks lee) so carry on! Smiley
