    Network connect fails when not on wifi

    That same sim works in the phone I'm using at the moment, so I highly doubt that it's a SIM or carrier issue. But as I said, will definitely give it a shot, but it might have to wait for tomorrow (11pm in Cape Town at the moment). Thanks for the advice so far

    Network connect fails when not on wifi

    Thanks, definitely worth a try. But it does the same for all the carriers. Do I just choose one? Any reason why the software doesn't allow me to select Manual or Auto? PS. Can you guys see the video I posted?

    So nobody here can explain or has seen this error where a phone can connect to the network when on wifi but fails to connect when wifi is not connected?

    Network connect fails when not on wifi

    I'm from South Africa and I'm not sure how to check if it's the US or international version. The sim is a contract sim. I've tried sim cards of various other carriers in South Africa and they all give the same result. I'm thinking that it has something to do with the IMEI. I have checked if its...

    Network connect fails when not on wifi

    I have tried another carrier sim and it also says "Not registered on Network". The technician that tried to unlock the phone said that each time he entered an Unlock code, it would be unlocked for a few hours before diverting back to being locked. I'm not sure how that's possible. Also, why...
