I have a 680 that's maybe a little over a year old. Just yesterday my SIM would not read in the phone (Says SIM not allowed). So I switched back to my Cingular SIM to see what the deal was and it too says SIM not allowed.

I have the unlock code from Cingular to use other SIMs and putting it in says that it's unlocked but no SIM I've tried seems to work.

I've tried soft resets, hard resets both with and without the SIM inserted.

The issue began without warning (no new software installed, etc)

Typical of the lovely relationship Palm creates with the phone companies, Cingular says call Palm and Palm says call Cingular. And when the question goes unanswered I eventually get "buy a new phone" or "send us $200 and we'll fix it for you."

Anyone have this issue or know of a fix?
