Hi all ive just put a new 02 sim card into my crt 700 and it keeps coming up insert sim card. Sim card locked in place ok and inserted right way gold contact facing up. Any ideas what could be wrong. Thanks.
-
As I recall you are limited on choices of mobile provider with the CCRT700.
Vodafone works fine and I am sure T Mobile is fine too.
It is down to the ban the provider uses and the headunit will only support the 900mhz level.
Apologies for the not very technical comments but I am no telecoms engineer (unlike a few people here).
-
O2 and Vodafone should be OK, it's a GSM 900Mhz device :-/
Orange and T-Mobile are PCNGSM 1800Mhz so don't work
Think there was something about putting PAYG cards in them though why that should cause an issue I have no idea.
-
O2 and Voda are only 2 900Mhz GSM in UK. Both work fine in ccrt700.
Personally, I use a voda PAYG card in mine.
-
only voda and o2 on that bandwidth. I have O2
p n go in my siemens 2015 that works but not the
same radio as your tho.
Is it still firmly held it the credit case sized holder it
came in? Or maybe clean the metal contacts with a
pencil rubber if your sure its secure and the correct
Way up.

Ditto with me too ;)
-
I use an O2 PAYG and divert my contract phone over when I'm in the car :y :y :y :y :y
I know it works with Voda too because that's what was in there already!!

Do i need to register the sim card. Its brand new but radio doesnt seem to read it keep getting message please insert sim card.
-
Could the radio be faulty?
-
Radio & cd work fine its just the phone i am having problems with. It tells me to insert sim card and when i insert sim it still tells me to insert sim card.

Does the sim work in your Phone OK?

yes
I put a brand new O2 card in mine and it kept saying random messages, had to top it up with £10 when i registered it and wait a few hours, then it sprang into life!

Does the sim work in your Phone OK?
Most phones now take the small sim ?
Think radio takes large Sim
If you break it out from large sim problem geting to fit radio
with out adapter.
Dave, your the expert. Just a thought?

Sticky tape! Tape over the back of the hole & stick the small sim in place. :y

I meant could the phone section of the radio have a fault. Do you have another SIM you could try?
-
i have put an o2 simcard few years old back into the big card held it with tape and it works fine but if i dial 2222 it stops working and i have to take card out and reinsert it but apart from that its fine so dont understand yours sorry
-
I have an old BT cellnet sim which works as O2. Had a Problem with reading once. Try cleaning the conections which a bit of alcohol.

I PUT 02 CARD IN ITS BEST TO REGISTER ON LINE BUT ONLY STARTED WHEN £10 CREDIT ADDED ;D

I've had my Omega for 5 years and thought the fitted phone need some special VX thingy so never even considered using it. Until now, reading through the forum. So, just nipped out and stuck in a spare SIM I had lying around and it only bl**dy works!! How cool is that?! (Or how thick am I..) More great advice from OOF :y

Just been out today bought another 02 sim & loaded it with £10.00 credit still getting please insert sim card. Tried sos call got message could not connect. Phone on ccrt 700 must be faulty.
