iphone 8 no service

[kmpec1]

I Reset network settings did not work. Help?

Can you plug it into iTunes, and download updates?  Might be a carrier settings issue.

[kmpec1]

in the settings it recognizes that public mobile simcard. it just says no service.

I tried it in my android and it works fine, it is some kind of iphone 8 issue

[stonechucker]

Unlikely, but try a pencil eraser on the SIM contacts - there may be some debris that needs to be polished off.  A no sim message is very unusual.

How long did you wait for your number to port over? It can take up to 2 hours or more.

thanks i just did

[kmpec1]

its unlocked from bell

yes the plan is active

 where you suppose to see data speed and network it service  it says no service

[stonechucker]

What error message(s) are you getting?  Is your plan active?  Is your phone unlocked from a previous carrier?  Which service was this phone most recently with?

While you are waiting for the moderator to respond, you may try the lost/stolen phone trick:
To report your phone stolen. Login to your selfserve account. Choose Plans and Add-ons tab. Choose the Lost/Stolen Phone tab. Choose Suspend Service tab. Wait a few minutes. Report your phone found. Re-start you phone. ALso try a $1 onetime payment to see if it makes a difference.

More information may be useful - new activation? Porting?

I have an iPhone 8 and I have switched providers (and travelled oversea) a few times and I did not have to reset network.  Generally I get prompted to accept new carrier settings and that's it.  

The only time I did not have service is when the line was actually not provisioned (that was with Koodo trying to get a QC number with an ON address).

[kmpec1]

new activation. no service message

Have had problems with ipones on other carriers and a network reset usually works

not working here

What problem(s) were you attempting to fix by doing this?  Maybe it would have worked fine without doing this, and asking for help first?
