[janekeyz]

Please help i had to put the sim card into an old Htc ONE phone and now getting this request to enter a 8 digit pin for sim network?

Is it possible you set a pin for your Sim card??

I set up mine so when someone removes the Sim from my phone and put it in another phone, it asks for the pin I set up.

"Inexpensive" = about $0.99 to $1.75 for this phone ... with no costs or delays for shipping/etc. The vendor would probably email you the code within an hour.

Sounds like the old HTC is locked to the old provider. If it wasn't Rogers then they should provide it to you by law.

Edit: jumpin'

It is likely that your old phone is locked to previous carrier.  You can contact previous carrier to get the unlock code for free.
