New SIM card, SOLO 112 network, no signal

GiorgioC

Hello,

I have an PM account, lost my phone, so:

- got a replacement phone (Motorola Razr V3 - old model -but verified it works with PM with IMEI),

- purchased a new SIM card, got it on the mail

- pluged it in the phone

- changed to my new SIM card in my account,  but my phone shows "SOLO 112" network shows in the screen.

- and no bars (no signal) shows on the screen either.

 

My account online shows as ACTIVE. 

How long until this works, or is there a missing step??

 

Thanks,

 

GC

Thanks SD08.

That site does not list the Razr V3...

It's an old phone..

Do you know if anyone has made this phone work on PM?

With 100% certainty, the Motorola Razr v3 will not work with Public Mobile.  It is a 2g GSM only phone, a network type that Public Mobile (Telus) does not even have.  

@GiorgioC
It's missing the frequency it won't work with public mobile not a chance at all
Sorry
Here's a detailed link someone else ask the same question in past about using moto v3

FYI, the IMEI checkers are only useful for verifying whether the phone has been blacklisted (i.e. stolen).  For checking compatibility with PM, you're better off using the site http://willmyphonework.net/ that @Samianauman mentioned.

Thanks everyone,

My phone is an old Razr V3 (flip phone - non-smart).

It supports Quad Band GSM (supports 850/1900)

With the PM SIM it only sees the Rogers network.

but I had check with the PM site, and with the IMEI, and this phone was listed....

Am I set up for a disappointment?

Thanks,

G.

Is that LTE phone 
check on http://willmyphonework.net
see if it's compatible 

 Motorola razr v3 doesn't look compatible it's showing only 2g network 

Also if you go on network setting do you see public mobile on network search IMG_0112.PNG
