My Mum wanted me to get her a phone yesterday. She has an Optus Post Paid Sim Car but the plan brokered elsewhere. I asked the dude at Optus if i put her sim card into a pre paid phone would it work, and he said yes.
The phone worked for a while but now is not picking up the sim card. Anyone have any ideas?
I should also add that the sim won't work in the old phone either now

may be fixed by now, but it could be a faulty sim, probably $25 to replace.

try getting one of them cheap sim backup devices.
the Sim could be fucked and not registering on a network bit its data side might still be OK.
