Call the original provider of the cell phone it was bought from . Ask for your free unlock code if it's a Canadian cell phone. Then enter that code from the cell phone key pad . Your phone will then unlock . You should see the Public Mobile name show up. Try a call, picture text and web site to see if all working ok . If not go to your APN settings on your phone and punch in the APN settings for Public Mobile.  Once this is done hit save. 

Cheers.

How is doing anything with the web browser going to allow sim cards from  diferent carriers to work?  The person is going to have to have the phone unlocked by the original carrier or pay for an unlcok code.

When a phone asks for network unlock code, it is not unlocked. You need to unlock it first.

Did you use that cell with a previous provider? Their SIM card may have locked your phone to their network.

Hi, sorry you are having issues.

Have you tried resetting network settings?

 

What makes you sure your phone is unlocked?

 

EDIT: Also have you tried restarting your phone?
