As in carrier unlocked? Pretty sure the N4 is never locked to a carrier, but to state the obvious have you tried putting the sim from your preferred carrier in to your phone?

What you mean by locked? You mean bootloader? Are you using stock ROM / kernel? 4.2.2 or 4.3? Rooted or unrooted?

Since it is network locked...put the SIM of locked network in the phone and then punch the network/carrier unlock code...then insert the new SIM...

Nope, did nothing. Where did you get this N4 from? 90% sure nexus 4s are never locked, even though some carriers will say it is because most phones do come locked

Well if nothing happens for a few hours then either contact your operator or the only ultimate option is go completely reflash and wipe off every thing. Reflashing and wiping off should be the last option mate ! Good luck

It won't work pal
Like Tom540,I'm sure that the Nexus 4 is carrier unlocked out the box- I have had T-Mobile,o2,giffgaff ,orange and cosmote in mine with no issues
Did you cut down your own sim,if so then you may have damaged it. So you'll need to get a new one from your provider
Did you get one from your provider,if so then you will probably need to register it with them.

I'm still undecided on the custom ones, all black should suit my needs just fine I think. Definitely grabbing the 32gb version though.
the way i feel is 16 should be fine for me with the 50 free gigs of Google Drive Sent from my HTC first using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If the phone is locked to a network, it should ask for the code to unlock it. If it's not asking for that and just shows no signal.... Then the is definitely something fishy Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Found my problem. Ended up getting scammed for a fake clone note 3... Phone works on Rogers but not for telus. Having a real bad day!
