Did you complete the SIM card activation and choose a Public Mobile plan, either in store, or online found here: https://publicmobile.ca/en/bc/portal/activation

 

This would be the next step after you have the SIM card.

 

After activation, perform a Reset of the Network Settings with the Public Mobile SIM card in the unlocked device.

Try first some visual checking, try cleaning the sim from any liquid or dust. Or maybe phone is not compatible try talking to Simonbot.the robot here in the website.

You can purchase new sim in the website public mobile or amazon or nearby mobile retail store.

@jimzhang1107 

You can buy from PM online, Amazon or local store:

Sim Card (publicmobile.ca)

 

But first, try your SIM in another phone if you can to see if it works, or at least reinstall it. Since when did that happens? Did you just activate your account?


Buy online now at Public Mobile.....2 for $5. That is if you can wait for the mail.

@jimzhang1107   was it ever work on this phone?

 

pull the SIM out and re-seat the SIM.. maybe loose connection.

 

if still fail, you will need to check it on another phone and see if you got the same error message.  It could be the SIM..could be the device (the SIM tray and contact component of the device)
