Suspected cause

Perhaps your problem is similar in that the phone does not recognise T-mobile so you cannot make chargeable calls but detects a SIM card and a signal from another operator that you can use for emergencies.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys I have tried to get the phone working on the PCM 2 but to no avail. Have put a working SIM card in but keeps coming up phone not available. As far as I know all is connected. Any help or advice would be grateful. Phil

POST 2Original post

Your car does have the phone module fitted? garyw

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Gary Stupid as it sounds how can I check?

POST 4Original post

Hi Phil I have the same problem got a new sim but the phone can only be used for emergensies, it shows the phone is connected but cannot be used for calls or text. Is this the same as your fault and did you get your phone working. steve

POST 5Original post

Look for option 666 on the options sticker under the bonnet, or in the maintenance booklet. Also, what network is the SIM? I believe there are some that are not compatible.

POST 6Original post

Hi Richard the sim is t-mobile have got a list of numbers on the optional equip under wehicle id but nothing relating to the phone steve

POST 7Original post

Do you have (or can you borrow) an O2 or Voda SIM to try? Look under the driver's seat (RHD car). If there is a silver box in a black frame bolted to the floor, then you have the phone module. If not, you haven't.

POST 9Original post

PCM1 was the main two networks, PCM2 is as far as I'm aware nearly all networks. Like Richard says, option codes or failing that the silver box (or ring the OPC who will probably tell you from the chassis number[ ]) garyw

POST 10Original post

The emergency calls only message on new hand held phones occurs when you have no signal on your home UK network but have a signal from another provider. Perhaps your problem is similar in that the phone does not recognise T-mobile so you cannot make chargeable calls but detects a SIM card and a signal from another operator that you can use for emergencies.

POST 11Original post

Hi Guys Have found a box under the drivers seat so it looks like im connected, will try an O2 sim tommorow. steve

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No silver box so no phone module. Thanks for the help will have to think which way to go. Regards Phil

POST 13Original post

Garyw By the main 2 networks, do you mean O2 and Vodaphone? I've been meaning to buy a sim for my PCM1 and don't want to buy the wrong one. Andy

POST 14Original post

Andrew, that correct.. I think it is down to the frequency, GSM1200 or 1800( or something) which vodaphone and O2 are.. - please note I'm no phone techy but its something along the lines of that.. Orange are different and I still remember the excitement of dual band phones!! [ ] garyw
