topic Restricted Access Changed in XPERIA archive https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103351#M288242 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi. I recently bought an Xperia L which was working all fine in the beginning but for the past 2 days It has been giving this issue of 'Restricted Access Changed'. The sim sometimes out of the blue stops working saying 'No sim card available' and 'Restricted Access Changed'. In order to get rid of this, I switch off my phone, reinsert sim, restart it and then it starts to work fine.</P><P>Is this an issue with the phone or my sim? My sim does not support 3g and I still use 2g network. Perhaps changing the Network mode to 'GSM only' would help? I would like to know more about this 'Restricted Access Changed' issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 21 Jul 2013 04:30:34 GMT tabbyze 2013-07-21T04:30:34Z Restricted Access Changed https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103351#M288242 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi.

Will get a new one. I hope the issue doesn't occur then. Thanks for the reply.<IMG alt="IMG_20130721_035641.jpg" class="jive-image-thumbnail jive-image" onclick="" src="https://community.sony.com.mk/5760becf6f511bb0198affabd327cced94319725/687474703a2f2f736f6e796d6f62696c652e6c69746869756d2e636f6d2f6c656761637966732f6f6e6c696e652f35383638325f494d475f32303133303732315f3033353634312e6a7067" width="450" /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 21 Jul 2013 05:52:15 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103353#M288244 tabbyze 2013-07-21T05:52:15Z Re: Restricted Access Changed https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103354#M288245 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>that is the problem, the SIM card is way too old and it even looks worn out </P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 21 Jul 2013 05:54:21 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103354#M288245 Uliwooly 2013-07-21T05:54:21Z Re: Restricted Access Changed https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103355#M288246 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hey. I got a new sim card but I guess that wasn't the problem. Because the problem still occurred. I figured when I keep the Network Mode to' GSM only' it works fine. But when it's set to 'WCDMA (preferred)/GSM' that's when the problem usually happens. So I just keep my Network Mode to 'GSM only' . Works fine that way. <IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.com.mk/html/images/smilies/011.png" alt="Slightly_smiling_Face" title="Slightly_smiling_Face" /></P><P></P><P>So there's nothing really wrong with my phone right? I mean Is this supposed to be a network issue?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 29 Jul 2013 03:51:23 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103355#M288246 tabbyze 2013-07-29T03:51:23Z Re: Restricted Access Changed https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103356#M288247 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>most likely there's nothing wrong with your phone </P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 29 Jul 2013 05:54:51 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103356#M288247 Uliwooly 2013-07-29T05:54:51Z Re: Restricted Access Changed https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103357#M288248 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>thanks a lot! <IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.com.mk/html/images/smilies/011.png" alt="Slightly_smiling_Face" title="Slightly_smiling_Face" /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 31 Jul 2013 16:25:02 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/restricted-access-changed/m-p/3103357#M288248 tabbyze 2013-07-31T16:25:02Z
