HELP! How to activate a smart sim card

[firemonkey]

Hi.... Pls . i need your help. My sis bought a smart talk and text sim card. Pero di siya nkaka pagload and di siya makatawag.. Masungit y'ng nabilhan niya. Sabi magbasa sa manual at di nila alam daw.. Pero wala naman sa manual nila. Paano ba ang pag activate or pag register. I have always used a GLOBE sim kasi .. Pero sa province kasi ng sis ko, mas strong ang signal ng SMART... HELP PLS.. anyone out there.. Nag google search na ako pero wala talaga...

do a balance inquiry first:

dial 1515
or
send "?1515" to 214

it will activate your SIM card

It's the first time that I ever heard of a SIM card that needs to be activated. Usually, SIM cards search for networks automatically.

What can you try to do is to go to the SETTINGS then go to NETWORK SELECTION. It must have been set at AUTOMATIC. Try doing it MANUAL SELECTION. Tell us what will happen next.

If that doesn't work, I believe that your SIM card is defective.

Thanks to all. Kanina dinala ni sis sa ibang cell shop. Di doon sa binilhan. Tumawag sa hotline ng smart and naayos. Expired sim na siguro y'ng binenta nila..
