I bought a Samsung S10. It's on the compatible list.
I migrated the working SIM to the new phone, adjusting it from Micro to Nano
The phone is not connecting to the network.
I've rebooted, reset the SIM card, reset the network, tried cleaning the SIM card with an eraser, toggled airplane mode, etc. I did get a notification it had found the SIM card but thats it.
I tried Simon but that went in circles. When I tried to then open a ticket, the login wasn't accepted even though it works fine otherwise.
Suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.

@DavidFB - if this is a 2nd hand phone, check to see if it is unlocked.
Contact the previous provider(owner) to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.
Maybe also check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

Where did you buy the S10? was it a CPO from from PM?
do you have another active SIM from another provider? try to use it and see if it works.
and if you put your sim back to another phone, it works? just want to make sure you didn't scratch the SIM and broke it by any chance.

You'll be in good hands talking with a CS Agent, especially for an account-related issue. In the meantime, some things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Try another SIM card in your Samsung S10 to see if it's an issue with the phone.
Also, are you able to try your Public Mobile SIM card in another phone? If it works, then your SIM card is okay. If not, it's possible that the SIM card "chip" got damaged in the process of removing/replacing or resizing it - a new SIM card would be required.

I plan to buy another SIM retail tomorrow in case the old one is flaky in some way.
The PM SIM was working fine in the old phone.
Perhaps I should try moving it back to see if its still OK. The SIM works fine in the old phone.

Try to move it back and see.
If you are going to buy a new SIM tomorrow, have the Mobile guy to use an Active PM/Telus/Koodo SIM to test your new phone as well.
(some places don't sell SIM without activation.. call ahead and check...)
