your phone is screwing around,

Think your phone is trying to tell you that Virgin Mobile sucks and that it wants to be on a proper 3G network.

Sim is fine. The moment your phone enters an area with no cellphone reception the phone says "sim card rejected". Then you have to switch the phone off and on before it will work again, provided there is a signal. Sometimes after driving around for a while this will happen to me. But at home where theres constant reception I never get the error message. Cell C/Virgin's reception is pathetic compared to Vodacom where there is virtually no place in SA not covered by their network.

"SIM Rejected" is not a network fault error messgae - its the physical SIM card error message.

If it was due to netowrk - it will read "SIM Card Registration Failed"...

 

[BLIXEMPIE]

Oh yes. You're right Grim. Sorry, my bad.

This has happened to me once when I swapped SIM cards too many times and the SIM got damaged.
So I got myself SIM insurance, saves me the SIM swap fee

Happens a lot with Virgin sims. Been through it myself 2 times, you need to replace it.

VM swaps the sim for free.

This is bull****, it happened to me, my wife and a friend within this year (3 months) Each time they make a extra R55!!! How is this possible virgin??

edit: if the sim swop was free (like it used to be) I could understand. thieves.

Would call records show up on MTN' s itemized billing if a cloned card was being used? I have received calls from a certain number but his call records do not show it? How is this possible?
