I bought a Sola today which the store claimed was factory unlocked, but it's not getting any service with my SIM card inserted. I get the following when accessing the Service Menu:
[?] Network
[?] Network Subset
[?] Service Provider
[?] Corporate
Any ideas? D:

I have bought a new Xperia Ray ST18a from Telus (Canada). I have successfully unlocked it using a code, called my voice mail without a problem. Then I downloaded Sony's PC companion to verify if the phone's software was up to date. When the update was finish, I tried to make another call and noticed the "Emergency Calls only. No Sim Card" message.
I used the Sim card in my old phone and it worked. I used another Sim card in my Ray, the 'No Sim card Message' was still there.
I sent the phone to Sony for repair and came back with again the same problem.
Anybody have a clue what is wrong with the phone?
The SIM lock Menu it shows:
[x Network 10
]
[] Network subset 0
[] Service provider 0
[] Corporate 0
[] SIM 0
Phone software version: 1248-9545_4.0.1.A.0.283 Generic -user

Rooting Status: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
It's locked again
They have network locked your phone again. As for the SIM problem, maybe the phone/SIM contacts aren't clean enough. I don't think it's related to the network lock/unlock.

Thanks for the reply.
I have checked the contacts and even applied pressure on them when the phone was restarting. Same results.
How can you tell it's network locked again?
With which code did you unlock?
Does any other SIM card work?
According to the Network value, seems like the SIM-lock is still there...Is the phone branded?

Yes it's a branded phone.
I tried another SIM card from another cell phone and I'm still having the same message.
I bought an unlock code from a unlocking service from the internet.
Learned something yesterday!
Not all cell phones can prevent the insertion of the SIM card the wrong way!
On the Ray you can insert the card the wrong way and you will be able to install the battery and cover perfectly. I have re-inserted the SIM card in the right position and the "No SIM card" message disappeared and was able to unlock it with the same previous code. All is now fine.
I don't mind looking like a foul and hope this thread will help somebody else.
Thank you for trying to help.

You inserted the SIM card in the wrong position? How is that even possible?

Believe it or not
Hi. I bought an s3 for my wife .
The phone was unbranded and. She was using TescoMobile until 4 days ago when she lost signal coverage.
We swapped the sim card from Three network and everything was working.
The next day we went to Tesco to get another sim card to test and nothing happened. The phone picks up the internet signal but we receive a message "your sim card is not allowed to connect to this network".
We went to Meteor shop - this same not allowed, O2 this same, Vodafone is working.
I installed the 4.1 Android to see if it works. The same happened. I unlocked the phone to see, but the same, only two networks are working with the phone.
What do you think has happened with the phone ?
Phone is going to Samsung for the warranty repair on Tuesday.
If the phone works properly with a different SIM then it's the SIM/network problem.

Hi,
So where is the issue? I rooted the phone, unlocked, changed the ics to jellybean and the same issue arises.
In Ireland there are the following network providers:
1) Tesco mobile (using o2 network) - sim was working for few months and stopped.
2) O2 - their sim cards are not working
3) Vodafone - sim is working fine
4) Meteor - sim is not working
5) Three - sim is working fine
6) Emobile - not checked.

One JB test leaked build will not fix a problem .
3 Sims work fine and rule out a phone problem .
Do the two non working sims work in other phones in the same location .
Possible you have faulty network settings /APN .
I would say back up data and try a factory reset first except you now have non Samsung firmware on the phone .
That voids warranty so you will need to remove it before returning .
your sim card is not allowed to connect to this network".
Not allowed possibly phone blocked IMEI .

I was talking with Tesco Mobile - IMEI is not blocked on their network.

Repair company said that they don't care if is custom rom, they will put back the original software and start testing the phone, everything under warranty.
Once i went to friend who bought a S3 from Tesco mobile and i his sim card is not allowed to connect on my wife phone. Wife sim car is connecting to the internet but to network

your phone is sim unlocked? you can check it by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* then service info > sim lock
[ ] and 0 means sim unlocked
[x] and any number means sim locked
