my dear, The starcomm phone is a CDMA, and cdma phones uses special sims,sim card of 5 to 6 volts.
the normal phones we use is called GSM which uses 3 to 3.3 volts sim card. sotherefor u can't use another sim in cdma phone,because cdma phones can't process 3 volts sim cards and that is why it shows insert sim while sim is still inside, in other words, the manufacturer of this phones designed CDMAs for special sim cards.
though Am also trying to crack this trick, but no hope for now,
Let me give u a clue, If CDMA phones uses 5 to 6v sims, then if u know about sim clonning., if u can get an empty 5 or 6v sim, copy (clone)infos of a normal sim(3volts) to the empty 5 or 6v sim,
