Possibly your phone is locked to a specific network provider - that would prevent you putting a new SIM in it. If you've had it for a long time, your current provider should give you an unlock code. Otherwise, I believe Nokias are relatively easy to unlock. ( But be very wary of using an Internet service to unlock your phone )

Before putting a new SIM into an old phone, make sure all phone numbers stored on the old SIM have been copied to phone memory.
Not locked but as it's so old I figured I'm probably better with a newer model. Couldn't use mine in the States a couple of years ago (nor Croatia!!) as it didn't use the right 'phase'. Didn't even know what that meant, just knew my phone wouldn't work there or Canada.

And thanks for the tip about making sure phone numbers are copied to new SIM! Couldn't that be annoying!
