Just got my 6131 Quad Band phone, brand new put my SIM card in it, the pone boots up fine without glitches, but does not see the sginal or detect operator networks, I am in Canada the GSM here is 1900, I had my older nokia 6610 working like charm without problems, what could be the issue? I called Nokia Canada but they said we don't support this model!

try locating "manually" the service providers.. if your phone detects, your sim may not be activated..

your phone should work there..

cheers.

The SIM card is currently running on my older Nokia, I tried the manual lookup so many times but no luck, does not detect a single network ....

Hmm.. your phone should work coz it covers the frequency there..
Try pressing the "#" and then call..
Your phone should be requesting a signal from your network..

Try also using other SIM card (Other Networks' SIM card also).. If this doesn't work, your phone has a problem..

" Your Nokia Handset operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies. Canadian GSM carriers offer network service in the 850 and 1900 MHz bands. This means that your handset will operate on the 1900 MHz bands of the Canadian networks. Users may find that network coverage may not be as comprehensive in areas that also use 850 MHz band networks, such as in more sub-urban or outlying areas. Other users will not experience any difference in their service. For example, the handset will operate on all of Fido’s network as it operates entirely in the 1900 MHz band. "

Hope this article from Nokia helps..

Your phone's cool and new!

cheers.
