I bought a 10-day old unlocked 3G iPhone from a member here. He didn't tell me that the phone has a problem. Very often the phone gives the message "No Sim Card Installed" eventhough the sim card is inside. I have tried resetting the phone and also cleaning the sim card before installing it again. The problem is still there. It is frustrating because the card disables itself thinking that there is no sim card and I got missed calls without even knowing.

Also, in the middle of conversations, the phone gets disconnected often. Before the seller sold me the phone I talked to him on a few occasion on the phone and his line was cut off very often. He told me the battery was weak.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks loads in advance.

Nokia has been most helpful in helping to track the source of my iPhone's problems. Great guy. Thanks.

Thanks, I have removed my number now. I have the habit to think that most people are honest so I can leave my telephone number without fear but now I am not sure. I think this 52 year old has to learn the realities of the cyber world. Thanks for the advice.

The seller is refusing to accept a return of the phone. I even offered to take RM200 less. I will wait and see before I take the next step. Meanwhile I am going to let ä friendly "expert" in this forum take a look at the phone. I should be able to know the actual state of the phone soon. If he is in the wrong, I will definitely pursue this matter against him. Somehow, I understand now why he sold his phone after only 10 days.
