    Hi guys i wonder if you can help me i have just bought a 8310 curve off Ebay and it comes on fine but just says insert simcard.

    On the auction it just said sim holder missing does work so i bought it but isnt working the sim card.

    Can i ask where you put the sim card is there 3 gold pins or 6 pins as i only have 3?

    I bet i need to get it fixed not happy

    I have looked on the internet and got no help

    thanks for reading

    Not sure about that. On my SIM card there are 6 contacts
    points. Check your card. If it only has 3 (not sure if any do)
    try firmly taping the SIM card in place. Just an idea.

    And if the seller said it would work and it does not I would
    be getting my money back.

    I guess you can try taking it to the carrier service store and see if they can help.

    Are you sure you're looking at the right place? Sounds like you are looking at the memory card slot.

    It only goes in one way. Contacts down and the slanted part
    at the top to the left. If you look at the space and then the card
    you'll see what I mean.

    I am very interested in whether this will work.

    I think you may be getting close. Have you activated your
    account. That might be the next step.

    I have to run but I will check in on your progress as soon
    as I get back.

    Good Luck.
