Lg phone shows time and date but will only make emergency calls. says to retry

First you need to unlock your phone before you put tracfone sim card on that phone. Make sure you have appropriate LG neon GT365 unlock code example : if your old sim card using t-mobile you must use t-mobile unlock code for your phone not tracfone. You can get lg unlock code from online seller with lower price and quick turnaround.

After entering the wrong PUK code 10 times in a row, the SIM card becomes permanently invalid or locked. The only solution is to purchase a new SIM card.

My LG Cookie doesnt read ANY SIM card Gonna throw it out D: It ****. Try move your sim card somewher

Turn off the phone. Take the battery and Sim Card out. Make sure there is no dust or dirt of where the Sim Card goes. Blow air (from your mouth) of where the Sim Card goes. Sometimes rubbing a soft pencil eraser on the Sim Card contact points can help. Then place the Sim Card back in the phone. Make sure it is in the right position; copper contacts facing downward. Put the battery back in your phone. Turn it on, and see if the smartchip rejected goes away.

If not you may need to contact your Phone Provider’s Tech Support to troubleshoot and confirm that you may need a PUK reset code to register or you may need a new Sim Card, as they do fail from time to time.

The same thing happened to me. Take the battery and SIM card out of the phone, then simply put them back in and turn the phone back on. Fixed the problem for me.

remove sim card and tap emergency or From the standby screen



- Select Dialing Button

- Dial "3845#*500#" (you will then be in the engineering menu)


then reset phone

voila password gone

done it already

Wait does it say emergency mode only? If so this has happened to me many times on this phone.

Turn off the phone and remove the battery. In there will be you should see the SIM card. Pull out the SIM and put it back in. Put back the battery and turn on your phone.

For some reason on these phones the SIM card gets dislodged. When it does the phone won't work because the SIM card is what makes the phone your number etc. All cell phones, that have no service otherwise will be able to call 911. Apparently it is a law, so that is why your phone is on emergency mode. Without the SIM card the phone is a phone without service and will therefore only work in emergency mode.

I hope this is what you meant.

This phone is a POS.  Sounds like it can't read the SIM card, and therefore only 911 calls are available.

You can try putting it in another way. Or take it back

I know this sounds dum but!!
does it say
insert sim
or
insert correct sim?
