N97 wont work on meteor?

sweetypie

I have bought an N97 in the last three weeks as a private sale. The phone was locked to the vodafone
network, they kindly unlocked the phone for me, but the phone still wont work with my meteor
pay as you go sim. I have also tryed a three sim and o2 sim they both work fine! So thinking it was just my old sim card I got a new up to date sim but this still didnt work. I contacted meteor Customer care and they told me that maybe the phone was not unlocked correctly but to my knowledge this is not possible either the phone is locked or unlocked as the phone does not know what sim is been inserted!!
Has anybody else had this problem?

You could try updating to the latest firmware using Nokia software updater? That might fix the problem.

How is it not working?

Are you getting an error message, or no signal? Does the same sim card work in other handsets?

Is the phone set to UMTS only, GSM only or dual mode?

The software is 21.0.045 Date 14-01-10 Davy
How do I know if the phone is on dual mode?

That is the most upto date software. To check if its in dual mode, go to menu > settings > connectivity > network > and then network mode.
