V8V GSM phone won't recognise SIM card

[notax]

Enjoying my new (to me) 2006 Vantage which is fitted with a GSM phone. However I can't get the phone to recognise a SIM card is inserted - it is the right way up. Any ideas?

Is it a 3 Network SIM?

I use an ORANGE SIM and it is fine.

Vodafone SIM... Car is covered under extended Aston warranty I guess I'll have to hope they'll cover it if something is amiss.

take it back and let them check it actually has a phone in it !

/i bought mine in 2007 supposedly with a phone, fecked around for weeks, finally a few months later they confirmed it wasnt even sold with a phone module FFS !

I have checked and it is fitted. Just spoken to Harwoods and they confirm that it isn't covered by the extended warranty

They suggest fitting Bluetooth - a bit of a pain as I discounted a lot of cars as they didn't have a phone fitted. Any recommendations for a fitter or style of Bluetooth to go for? One of my cars has a Parrot kit which seems ok, any other ideas appreciated.

Just been speaking to James of Paralight recommended by Harwoods, looks as though I'll be going for a discretely fitted Parrot kit
