Can anyone help, my Mom (late 70's) has a mobile phone a PAYG Sagem. And somehow, Mom doesn't know whats happened all it is doing is saying Emergency Call Only - she says she topped up with credit and then thought no one is ringing when she looked it says Emergency Call Only

Any idea how to release it?

Thanks in advance Karen

If you remove the battery from the back, then take the SIM card out, then replace the battery, turn the phone on, leave it for a few seconds, then remove the battery, replace the SIM, replace the battery and turn it on, it *SHOULD* solve the problem, if not, give the SIM contacts both on the phone and the card a soft wipe down with a soft, DRY cloth, replace and try it again.

If those ideas fail, then id contact the supplier

Okay total idiot here do I turn the phone off first before removing battery etc. Or remove items with phone switched on?????

It doesnt really make that much of a difference, its like removing a plug without switching it off, once the battery is out the SIM is ok to come out (it cant be removed without taking the battery out) But, in good professional manner, please turn the phone off before removing the battery.
