So, I guess the first one is defective. I will exchange it tomorrow... thanks for the help.

I had read on these forums that Speakout sims would work on locked Rogers phones and that's why I bought the Doro phones from them. I asked the salesperson too, and they said it should work. I will give the phones to my parents for Christmas anyways and see if their sims will work just to be sure, but I imagine I'll be returning them next week. Thanks for the reply.

If it cannot see the SIM, it cannot. Either it is faulty or incompatible.

So this year, I picked up a couple of locked Doro 410 PhoneEasy senior phones for them at Rogers. I popped in my Speakout sim card to test one out, but the Doro didn't recognize it (just continues to say insert sim card). I figure I probably have to activate the phone first with the included Rogers sim card, but I just want to make sure that this will indeed work (they probably won't let me return it, if I activate it right?).

I don't have much experience with cell phones and I just need a bit of reassurance to know that I'm on the right track. Thanks.
