That is weird. I'm an iPhone person myself and haven't worked on Android in years. I only have two options left.

It could be. However, if you can test it in a different phone and it works, then it's not the problem.

Just wondering, is the phone locked?
OK. If Public Mobile is showing up in the corner, it's not locked.
Also, check and make sure that it's model of SM-A205W.
If it is the model above, try doing this.
Go into Settings, General Management, Reset, Reset Network Settings, confirm Reset and after it's done, restart the phone.

hi @Jhon1
does voice call work?
what model of phone?
try Reset Network settings first, make sure mobile data is turned on and no data limit set
if same, test the sim on the old phone again and confirm if it works

Hey @Jhon1
Changing phones isn't an issue. Just turn off the phone you want to put the SIM card into, then place the SIM card into the phone and start it back up. If it doesn't work, go into Settings and reset your Network Settings and reboot the phone. As long as your account is active and paid up, there should be no issues.
Also, what phone are you using?
