Whenever I go somewhere with poor signal, eg. certain spots in my basement, the phone will go from saying no signal to "Emergency Calls Only Unregistered SIM" in the notification area where it normally says "Bell" and I can't call or message anyone. It will take a few minutes of me standing somewhere where I know I have reception before calling or messaging works again.

Is this normal or is anyone else having this problem? I just took the phone into the Bell store today and they guy said he hadn't heard of this happening before and figured it was just the sim card and gave me a new one but it's still happening.

I too have noticed that it takes a while to switch back from the emergency calls only setting back to regular 4g.

The thing I do to get it to switch back quicker (if I know I'm in an area with reception) is put it in airplane mode and then take it out of airplane mode. Then the 4g seems to reconnect quickly.

If you find a fix, post it here so I can use it too!

Thanks that seems to work, another thing you can try too is go to settings->wireless and network->mobile networks->network operators and try changing between one of the bells or automatically (I didn't notice any significant difference though)

Thank you for the advice!! I turned it on and then off airplane mode and the message instantly disappeared!!
