[MyMARYJANE]

ok so i broke my phone the other night and now when i try to put in the SIM card i have it keeps telling me to insert SIM when i turn on my phone so im guessing its broken. so there was this phone thats been sitting in the lost and found at my job for like 5 months so i was like fck it and took it haha. now when i try to put in MY sim card it keeps saying wrong card? i dont get it?? why is it doing that. this person had t mobile and i have at&t/cingular. it also says "call SOS?" when it says wrong card. is there any way i can fix this and get my card to work in that phone AGHHHH. i knew i shouldnt have took it from the lost and found but its been there forever so oh well. any help???! mayb do i have to go to like a phone store and tell them i changed my service or something? and they can put in my card somehow or somethin.. i really have no ideas? ne1 know?

T-mobile is a different phone so you need a T-Mobile phone with a t-mobile card...

My Bro found a T-mobile phone and stuck his T-M card in it and it just worked...

You can try to clean the contacts on the old phone... use rubbing alcohol and a clean pencil eraser... dont soak it,,,just dip the eraser and clean the contact in the phone...

Yeah... The best erasers to use are those "ink" erasers (you know the ones... they are dark gray on one side, white on the other)... They have a little bit of fine abrasive in them, that makes them awesome for cleaning/polishing metal. I use them all the time to prep surfaces for soldering. You don't even need alcohol with them, just use them dry.
