no service on my sons phone

dennisjd — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 13:10:00 GMT

My son has been getting no service on his phone for a couple weeks now. I replaced the sim and no change. there are 4 of us in the house who all use public mobile and 3 of us have no issues. Any suggestions on how to fix his phone, its a samsung s22 and this issue just started randomly and I figured for sure a new sim would fix it. Really need to get his phone working again. TIA We live in the WIndsor Es**bleep** area, if that helps

@dennisjd Can you try his SIM card in one of the other 3 household members phone and see if it works and then get your sim in his phone . This will help to determine if it’s account related issue or a device issue to start troubleshooting

@dennisjd

check if your son's phone is blacklisted

@dennisjd

if you tried 2 different sim cards and both not working on your son's phone but it is working on another phone, it is likely a device issue, could be a sim card reader problem

you can try Reset your phone to factory and see if it helps. If the result is the same, you probably have to get him a new phone

So the Not Registered on Network is a device issue? Why would it have just started randomly?
