I suppose most newer SE's are similar.

How the hell do you get the SIM card out?

Is there a trick to it?

TIA.

Push it in an dthen it releases and springs back out. You have to push it in to release it you cant pull it out.

Thanks, Taipan; you're a star!

Well that was a bit of a dead loss in the end. I lost my phone and got another on a different network. But O2 sent me a replacement SIM on my old number. I wanted to put it in my new phone to check for missed calls.

But all I got was 'Inactive SIM'.

Does that mean my phone's locked onto the new network?

Lying bastards in the shop (I know, I know...) assured me I'd be able to.

Inactive SIM does not usually mean its locked to another network. It usually happens if you use a old sim thats been de-activated by the service provider. Seeming its a new sim I guess o2 haven't activated it yet or something. You could also try taking it out giving it a rub on your jeans and putting it back in (sounds stupid but does work if its a problem reading the SIM)

Another possibility - is it a brand new phone you got or second hand? I presume its new as you said shop but if you bought it second hand it could be IEMI blocked which is non-removable and this would be the case if its been stolen.

Thanks for that. I'll try again tomorrow.

The phone's brand-new out of the shop on Saturday.

I don't buy phones off dodgy geezers in pubs!
