It can be a sim fault.

ive tried all different sim cards, it reads no network coverage when you dial out and still read sim registration failed on the operating screen. I have a feeling its been barred. |

this does sound like the handset has been barred...contact your service provider and give them the mobile number of the sim that was in the phone...and they'll be able to tell you if its barred or not... |

I agree with Peterpan - the phone itself has been barred. However, you need to give your operator the phones IMEI number to see if it's been blocked/barred, not the sim number. Did you buy the phone brand new, or secondhand?

How to Check If Your Phone is Blacklisted!!
Different networks blacklist handsets in different ways:
Orange & O2:
If you place an active orange or
O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you
phone will not show any signal strength
at all! If the handset is a Nokia then a
"SIM card registration failed" message
will also be displayed. If your handset is an
Ericsson then an "Invalid Mobile" message
will be displayed. For most other manufacturers
the handset will simply show no signal!
Vodafone & T-Mobile
If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!
