    Hello.

    I have a Nokia 3200 phone [old i know] and I stopped using it in January 2006 as i got a new phone. But now i want to use it again. When I turn it on it says 'SimCard Registration failed', then when i try and make calls I have no network. How do I reconnect the phone to the vodafone network [thats what it was on when it worked]

    Please help!

    Vodafone usually deactivate numbers after 3 or so months of inactivity

    Ring their customer service line and they should be able to help

    Is this a prepay phone. If so, your number is disconnected from the network if you haven't topped up within a year. After that, you have 6 months in which you can reconnect. After 6 months the number will be recycled. So, if it was over 18 months since your last top up, you will not be able to reconnect the mobile number to the network.
