Hey guys,
So I recently purchased a N900W8 (canadian version) from the internet and it doesnt seem to register to the Bell network. They said it was with the Bell network, but the sim does not work. I also tried a Rogers sim, and it still doesnt register. For both sims, the network bars show up, the voicemail notification icon even shows up, but when I try to make calls it says "Not registered on network". I also just rooted the phone.
So my question is.. if it is SIM locked... how come the sim lock window isnt popping up for either of the sim cards? Since that is not popping up, is there another issue here? The phone is rooted, so would flashing a stock bell rom revert it somehow?
I am stuck.. thanks for all help.

-I have the exact same problem with n9005 version
-check your IMEI by dialling *#06# then pull you battery your find IMEI number......they wont be the same
I think the problem is here
Its possibly a stolen phone?
If it has been reported stolen it won't work on any network in the country it was reported stolen...

Can any one tell me why my TAB will not recogize my valid, working SIM card from my other phone? Perhaps some setting on the TAB has to be changed?
Thanks for any info.
dude
dude i dont know. i tried the same thing. i have tmobile usa and the Galaxy Tab, along with my HTC HD2. tried the swap, no dice. saw my phone number, but would not txt, call, or receive calls. no data either.
My TAB doesn't even recognize when that the SIM is plugged in .
It keeps saying: "Please insert a SIM card". "Emergecy Calls Only".
This is going to sound really dumb but try shoving the SIM card in further. With certain brands of SIM you can get a "click" without the SIM being correctly seated in the tab. The tab will reboot if you insert a sim properly while it is on.
Problem solved! I thought that it was unlocked, but it wasn't. Followed Rothammer advise on unlocking and that worked like a charm.

I have the same problem with my SIM not being recognized. I have an AT&T Tab; unlocked [verified network is unlocked]; flashed with Rotohammer's most recent JME-Full; Baseband is I9000UGJK3; IMEI is OK; and Mobile Network is HSDPA. Interestingly, the signal strenth shows full bars, but does not recognize SIM and does not allow me to enter the Mobile Networks [grayed out] to change anything. I've tried every fix from every thread I can read here. Any thoughts anyone to get this to use voice and data?
Flash the Bell i900 modem for at&t tabs.

Hello folks,
A while back, I managed to get AT&T to block network data on my mobile line.
Shortly thereafter, I purchased an unlocked HTC Touch in Europe and experienced no problems receiving/making calls in the U.S. Inserting my AT&T SIM was plug-and-play, for lack of better words.
During a recent trip to Europe, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4. After inserting my AT&T SIM, I can not receive/make any calls.
I have bars, get a Voice Mail notification, as well as a 'Not registered to network' message. I am also unable to register to the AT&T networks the phone searches and finds...
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
apn settings would not stop registration.. maybe the phone was a black listed imei that went to europe and you bought it and are trying to use it here.
what is the model number.

you got screwed dude. the phone has bad esn and they blocked the phone already. sorry to hear
Isn't this the "region Locking" that Samsung has been getting flack for lately? If you buy a phone in EU, you have to register it in EU with an EU SIM (Any EU SIM if it an unlocked phone) initially. After that, I think you can then use ATT SIM if the phone is unlocked. It doesn't always work though and people are mad
I am assuming you bought an unlocked phone in EU
Google "SAMSUNG Region lock"
Could be the radio IC blown. That's what happened to my phone, which has a perfectly-fine IMEI (not blacklisted).
See this thread. I'm about to get my phone back from the factory today.
I bought my S4 recently. It was locked to Rogers when I got it (Canada), but I had bought an unlock code. I entered it when I put my Wind SIM into the phone; but under Available networks it doesn't show WIND it only shows TELUS, Bell, and WIND Away.
I can't connect to any of them, as when I click one it says "Registering on <NAME>..." and after a bit then it stops and says "Unable to connect. Try again later."
If I push Select Automatically it seems to connect to a service for a bit that puts it in roaming so I can't call or text but then after awhile it goes back to saying "Not registered on network" when I try to call someone.
My plan for sure works, brand new SIM.
Model: SGH-1337M
Firmware: 4.4.2 STOCK
Current Network: Wind Mobile
Phone Locked, Network Locked To: Unlocked; was locked to Rogers.
How do I fix this so I can start making calls, texts, and get my data to work again? I tried following this to see if this was the problem -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589 but I can't call that number because it says "Not registered on network" when I try.
I think u missunderstood something in the process. Take a look this video: HERE

Yup, that's exactly what I did and what happened when I first unlocked it. Before I unlocked it, it wouldn't detect my SIM at all; now it does.
But a S5(SM-G900W8) second hand that was described as unlocked on Jan 5. From the kijiji ad looks like they were using Telus. Put my Fido SIM and and off to the races. Except it wouldn't update. Flashed with ODIN to Telus firmware from SAMMOBILE. Still working fine.
Until Jan 14th. It just stopped working. Says unregistered SIM. Tried that sim in a G3 and it works no problem. Tried working SIM from G3 in S5 and no go. Took it to Fido store. No help but they did give a new sim. Can read SIM information using app.
Not blacklisted with Fido/Telus/Bell/Virgin/Koodo. Called them all. All of those providers have no information on phone when searching by IMEI.
There is a Bell TV app on phone so I thought maybe it was originally Bell and went to a store to see if they had any info. No info but girl in store tried her bell sim and it worked. I assumed that somehow in the firmware/software upgrade process it had lost it's unlock and must be back locked to bell. Tried to unlock it from Bell but it fails says IMEI not in database(from internet unlocking service).
Still thinking it might be locked called all providers mentioned above to see if they know anything. Nothing. Sidenote when I put my Fido sim in it just says unregistered SIM. Does not pop up for an unlock code or anything.
Tried a friends Rogers SIM. Unregistered SIM. Drove to Telus store to try a SIM. It worked but no service because it was not tied to an account(but did pull Telus APN's from connecting).
So it appears as though Bell/Telus SIM's work. But Fido/Rogers say unregistered SIM.
Called Fido again and they had me go through all the manual APN setup etc. Then something about sending a new signal to phone from Tower to reset network settings. Didn't work. Fido has no answer for me at all. But yet it did work on Fido for 9ish days.
I'm stumped.
Bueller?
Did you ever fix this issue or find the cause of it?
