Sim card issues

[Bin555]

My sim had issue, it worked after restarting the phone or turning on/off the airplane mode, but after some time, it stopped working again, both call/sms were not working.
I actually did online sim change, but the new card has same issue. I already tried the sim card on the other two normal working phones. 

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks

 @Jamesh78 : Yes. APN = Access Point Name. You can edit what you have there or add a new one. But your phone might have some issues with that. Let us know if you can't add or edit.

[Jamesh78]

Do I copy that on access points?

As long as you are up to date and you don't have greyed out settings you can edit your APN.

@Jamesh78 

Are you able to try troubleshooting by placing your SIM card in another phone to see whether data works.

See below APN Settings:

Name: Public Mobile
APN: sp.mb.com
Proxy: Leave blank
Port: Leave blank
Username: Leave blank
Password: Leave blank
Server: Leave blank
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
MMSC proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 220
Authentication type: Leave blank
APN type: Leave blank

Check your APN settings. For Android phones try editing to this.

Make sure cellular data is on and your apn settings are correct. Also try a network reset.

 @Jamesh78 : Your new phone needs to be configured for data. Maybe post screenshots of your APN settings. And of course actually turn on data...seriously...some people forget so it has to said.

@Bin555 

I think it lies more in an account reset and reprovisioning the sim card. If it was happening before you changed sim cards and its still happening that means the service end/ account is not communicating properly with the sim card vs the sim card not communicating well with the phone. 

Put account reset/reprovision sim in the subject line of a private message or to simon and human because he's simple...lol...Simple--Simon....follow the prompts to submit your ticket or leave a detailed message in private messaging.

The contact info has already been supplied to you.

Stay--Safe!!

Suspend/resume method from account does not work.

[Bin555]

I am trying z10user4's method to see if it works.

Thanks S--S for suggestion.

I actually did factory reset on my phone at the very beginning when I thought it was device issues, but did not solve this problem. This phone works normal on Fido's sim card.

 @Bin555 : Can you log in to your self-serve account? If so, click on Plans & Add-ons and then Lost/stolen and click on Suspend. Log out, wait a few moments, log back in and back and click Resume. Maybe restart the phone and see if it comes back. If the problem is intermittent then that's always a problem

When I tried it on the other phone, got same result, working at the beginning, then not working after a few minutes. The signal bar is quite strong. Both phones are working when using Fido sim cards.

@Bin555 

do you try your SIM card on another device, to you make sure is issue with SIM card or your device.

and if your issue with your device you can try to do factory reset and do backup if you want it.

[Anonymous]

 @Bin555 : And when you tried the SIM in another phone, what happened? How is your reception where you are? Low bars? Are you possibly in MB?
