Mobile phone help

gym lougargym lougar

My son woke up yesterday and his phone stated "no sim card inserted".

Sim card is in the phone and we have tried another just to check.

It was purchased on eBay so is it the 'insurance scam' or is the phone faulty ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

    Looks like you have been sold a faulty phone.

    Check the sim contacts to see if there dirty/bent/snapped....

    If you have no luck and it still doesn't work. Open a case on ebay and say item is not as described, you SHOULD get your money back as they have mislead you..

    Hi guys, thanks for your replies.

    It is a LG Optimus 3D

    He purchased it in January and it's been working fine, that's why I was wondering if it might have been reported lost/stolen as sometimes happen.

    Wasn't sure what the phone would say if blocked ? Is there any where I can check ?

    Thanks

    Hope you paid by paypal? If so open a claim asap.... Contact the seller first though if there is enough time...

    This is the problem with buying phones from ebay, your knackered if you get scammed like this after the 45 days. I might be wrong but dont think there is much you can do now.

    Paid by paypal funded by my credit card. Not sure I will be able to make a paypal claim as past the 45 days, but might give my credt card company a call.

    Sent the seller a rather abrupt email requesting my money back, letting him know I made a note of his address from the back of the package, giving him until the end of the weekend to reply or cop shop it is on Monday !

    Might pop into the T-mobile shop nearby hoping if I can prove purchase plus I have the box and everything, that they may be able to unblock the phone, well here's hoping !
