Emergency Calls only

mahasiva89 — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:50:36 GMT

Hi Team,

Please Help.

Three days back my phone was configured for outlook and on the same day the display shows EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY.

I thought that it was a sim problema and hence got my duplicate sim.

But Still the display shows emergency calls only.

Note: getting texts and calls but cant view them.

Please help i cant move to any other screen or access anything.

Regards,

Alexis

you could repair your phone with either PCC or SUS

do you have a micro SIM card or did you trimmed your SIM card?

Hi,

I had similar problem with my Sony Xperia SL,

I could receive calls, messages, mails e.t.c but main screen has been locked with message "emergency calls only".

After lot of trials, i remembered that i had set screen lock PIN, entered the 4 digit code and screen opened :-)) , huge relief (otherwise, i though of reinstalling or taking to service center)

Screen lock is here, Settings -> Personal -> Security -> Screen Security -> Screen Lock

Hi Sam,

I'm experiencing the same problem, I tried to follow the steps suggested by Sam but support zone says that no phone is connected. I think that I need to enter a password on my screen but actually I had no password on my phone before. So what can I do?

Plz help

I am having the same problem, changed the sim, did a factory reset, did a 2 system repair, nothing works, my phone gets signal intermittently, and does not get any data, even when there is a signal.

Please help.

Phone: sony xz 8331.

@Zr07

have you repaired the phone with XC?

Xperia Companion

Yes I did a system repair with XC and still the same problem, I have contacted a dealer in Miami to possibly have it sent and repaired. Hard to have such and expensive paper weight.
