Author	Sim Error outside US
cincydave Joined: Jun 25, 2002 Posts: 1 From: US PM	Posted: 2002-07-09 01:52 I've got a t68i with a Voicestream SIM that works great in the US, but when I travel overseas, I get the message "SIM Error" when I turn on the phone. I can usually do a manual network search and get connected, but it occasionally fails. I've tried another VS SIM and get the same result, but the VS SIM works fine in other (not t68i) phones... VS says it's the phone and SonyE/// says it's the sim. Anyone else had this problem?? -Dave

Some kind of software incompatibility on the SIM, I guess. But the bottom line is those networks are not roaming partners. [ This Message was edited by: Steep on 2002-07-09 23:52 ]
