Why is this?

I bought a SIM free and unlocked Nokia 6280 which works perfectly fine when my O2 SIM is in it but when my T-Mobile SIM is in it it says SIM registration failed now and again and resets so I lose signal for a few minutes. I've tried other T-Mobile SIMs in it and it does the same thing so does the phone just not like T-Mobile for some reason?

It may your sim card. How long have you had it? The 6280 is a 3g phone so if your sim card is not this may cause the phone to crash. I just a new 3g from O2 and the sent a new sim with it as they told me that my old sim would not work properly with the new phone. Ask T-mobile for a new card

It's not just my SIM card it happens with all T-Mobile SIM cards and I've only had it since February. I've now got an O2 3G SIM but the phone worked perfectly fine with a 2G O2 SIM. It's just T-Mobile it don't seem to like.

It may be the firware reading the information on other sites. You may have a older version which is causing the problems. The version may be fine for O2 but need updating for t-mobile
