I've been unable to use my phone since arriving in Dublin yesterday. First of all I was getting "Network Unavailable" when I tried to phone. I googled this and apparently it's quite common with Samsung phones - something to do with the phone not recognising the network. I followed all the suggested steps and 4 networks came up - vodaphone, 3 ireland and 2 others I can't remember. I couldn't connect to any of them. Tried again this morning but when I go on "mobile networks" I'm now getting a message to "insert SIM card". Surely my SIM card is already inserted?? Can anyone suggest anything?

Sounds like roaming is not enabled on the phone. Try turning it on off and back on - might just need a reset.
Also - if you're offered a number of operators use 'select automatically''.Everything is self-evident. -

It's contract........so if that's the case I might as well give up! How come no-one told me this when I got the phone? I've never had problems with other phones I've had.Originally posted by cogito View PostComment

If it's contract then it should work... probably just a setting. There's plenty of phone shops open in the city centre even on a Sunday. If you bring it into one of them and ask them nicely they would normally check the settings for you.Originally posted by KatieMorag View PostEverything is self-evident.Comment

I also agree with Cogs, go into any mobile phone shop & they will sort you out. Carphone warehouse are the best I reckon.
