Call Metro PCS customer service and see if they can help you. You might need to have a specific plan before they will let you bring your own phone.
I tried again when i inserted the sim card it connected briefly then it disconnected

You still need to call their customer service. You might not have a plan that allows BYOP.

Hey guys,
Ok, I have just unlocked a G1 I bought. It worked fine. I've got an Orange sim card in, with which I know data should be working, I put in the new APN I've found online (tried 5-6 varieties), but it just wont connect to 3G/GPRS.
Do I need to delete all the T-mobile APN settings? Are my settings simply wrong? Or is it impossible to register without a t-mobile sim card?! (I'm pretty sure it's not!)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Daz.
I experienced this issue a few days ago. I inserted my AT&T sim card and tried numerous settings with no success. Finally I got it working after getting the right settings. Just make sure you surf around and find the correct settings. My issue was a simple change to the USERNAME . Everyone one said to use the username [email protected] when it's actually wap.cingulargprs.com
on a side note...
I had been using it for the past two days. I powered down the phone and then back on. The phone then told me the sim wasn't allowed to connect to the network. Needless to say I tried everything possible. Nothing fixed it until I booted into recovery and did a wipe.
Hmm, it wasn't working, even with a clear working 3G icon in the corner.
My guess is google's servers might have been down because it worked after an hour or so!!
Cheers!
Daz.

Hello
After I install FR008 , I LOST MY SIGNAL IN MY ARIA . I cann't even connect to the network at all . I keep getting no services or Limited services .
When i search Manually for an Operator I keep getting , the sim card can't be connected to ... .
HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE ?
I have tried 2 radios .
1- liberty-radio47.41.35.10H_7.09.35.13-signed
2- liberty-radio47.54.35.20H_7.13.35.13-signed
HELO PLZ PLZ PLZ
Wow, odd. I had a similar issue. I would look at my phone and have no service (ATT in NYC - YOU GET SERVICE). Then maybe I thought it was my office building, nope. Also tried different radios. Nope.
Went to CM61.1 and never had another issue.
I had same issue randomly before. Though setting network types bring my signal back. In case you wanna try it:
- Dial *#*#4636#*#*
- Phone Info
- Bottom of the screen, try to change "Set preferred network type".

Something similar to this happened to me.
I had CM6, and (without thinking) did a factory reset of the phone (Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset).
When the phone rebooted, it didn't recognize the SIM card. I almost [email protected]#t bricks. The card wouldn't work in any other phone, but other SIM cards worked fine in the Aria.
The solution was to un-root/reinstall stock at&t Android ROM and take it to the at&t store. They replaced my SIM card.

Did the STC SIM card work in any other phone?
I'm guessing that when you flashed the ROM, it hosed the SIM card.
Please check to see if the STC SIM card works in another unlo.cked phone. If it doesn't then it's been damaged. If it DOES work in another phone, then there's something going on with how your phone is interacting with the network/radio software on the device.

It sounds like the SIM card is bad. You should get a replacement.
I'm not an expert on this, and can only suggest. If other cards work in the phone you're probably ok.

What error are you seeing? When I had a problem, the device said there was no SIM card present. It wasn't just "no service."
If an at&t card works on the phone you are fine. You just need to fix carrier issues.
If you want, unroot and load the stock ROM from at&t and try the SIM.

What didn't work?
I'm trying to help (with my limited knowledge).
It really sounds like the STC card is bad.
When you start the phone, do you see a big picture of a SIM Card displayed? If so, that means one of the following:
There is no card present
There is a card present, but it is inserted incorrectly or not completely in the slot
There is a card present, but it is either deactivated or damaged
If you DON'T see a big picture of a SIM card when the phone starts, then the SIM card is in place and not damaged. You may not have service (there is an "x" on the top left of the signal strength bars). But the card is still good. It's also possible the card is not provisioned for STC. They can re-provision it. Call them and tell them the phone's IMEI number.
I really want to help!

well , the sim is present b/c I can search the network Manually but when i chose At&t to register with it , it doesn't register with the Networks available . It says' Your Sim Card doesn't Allow Connection to this Network".
thanks

Ok...I think I'm understanding now. I didn't know you searched for networks and got the error message.
The error message "Your Sim Card doesn't Allow Connection to this Network" is a good indicator that the SIM Card is defective.
Try the following. If they don't work, try purchasing a new SIM card.
switch to Airplane mode and back again
go to Settings/Wireless & network/Mobile networks and check "Use only 2G networks."
Go to the dial pad and dial *#*4636#*#* and select Phone Information. Scroll to the end and choose "GSM only" in the drop-down box above "turn off radio"
Go to http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset and see if your phone has been reported lost or stolen and re-branded (I'm not sure where you got it, but it doesn't hurt to check).
If all else fails, I suggest getting a new SIM card from STC Mobile. Explain that it just stopped working and you need another one. They may charge you a small fee, but at least the phone will work.
Good luck,
Dan
It's working Now .
thanks

Go to settings>>more netowrks>>mobile networks>>network operators..let it search then choose Telus, if it works you should see a message "registered on network" watch for it because it disappears after a few seconds.
The other thing you should check is that the network is actually up, not sure which part of the country you are in but you might want to check the Telus site to make sure they aren't just having network issues.... happened in Calgary a few months ago....
Also check network mode in settings should be set to lte/wcdma/gsm lol I set mine to GSM only and nothing worked....

Just a silly question but did the sim click into place or can it just slide ot? When it is properly in place, you should have to push it in to eject it.

So having further checked into the phone, the IMEI is blacklisted and reported lost or stolen.... That's why it worked at first and now does not!
Be careful buying used phones off Craigslist or anywhere I learned the hard way thank you for your time! :/
This is the custom verizon version.
Is there any way to get around this or there hasn't been a way to use other sims on this phone?
I tried messing around with mobile type (GSM,etc) and nothing works. My tmobile sim card simply gets no signal.

You have to change the APN settings in Settings ->More Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.

Nope, APN is used for data connection. OP's problem is no network registration.
I found the problem guys, the IMEI has been blacklisted, the phone is unlocked.
I got this phone cause its been in lost and found for 6 months at my hotel so we were gonna throw it out anyways.
What do I do now? I tried contacting tmobile but they can't unblock it for that.

Besides having the original owner getting it removed from the blacklist through Verizon, nothing can be done.
There's a shared IMEI blacklist among all of the major U.S. carriers now, so if it's blacklisted on one, it's blacklisted on them all.

Hi.
I am having a problem with my network connectivity. I get the "Emergency calls only" message in the notification bar and I am unable to make or receive phone calls or messages. Wifi works though. When I restart my phone, I have connectivity for about 30 seconds before it disappears again. I have done a factory reset and upgraded to the marshmallow firmware, but nothing worked. My sim card works in another phone, but with another sim card in my P8, I get the same issues.
I am someone that always tries to fix something before throwing it away, but this repair might just be beyond my skills.
Does anybody know what the problem might be? Any assistance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
