strange... I am running my rogers Lumia with my fido sim and have no issues. I have been swapping between my iphone 5 and lumia almost daily and still works fine. Lumias have very sensitive sim card reader, try to use a rogers sim to see that it is not faulty.
Have you tried choosing network manually?

This happens to me on my unlocked one on Mobilicity as well. What I have to do is select the network manually (In Settings / Cellular / Network). I tap on it and let it search for the network, then select mine.
On a couple of occasions, though, it has restarted and had correctly chosen the network, so I guess it's a hit-and-miss.
I have my 920 on the 3UK network and when booting it takes 50-60 seconds before it logs on to the network and I'm fairly close to a tower and get 5 bars.

I bought a new lumia 800 819 version but i have no luck getting the gprs to work i am moving from a omnia 7 which i never had any problem connecting or even the hd7 i used before that. I am wondering if its the phone or the sim card. I am using the sim from the omnia 7 (which i cut to micro sim) the thing is my carrier dont carry the micro sim. The other thing i notice is that i am only getting g no edge or 3g i try both manual settings and network setup but no luck so i am stuck with wifi. Just checking if anyone else had that problem or if any fix is available...12072 firmware
The micro sim issue shouldn't matter as long as your sim supports 3G and you have cut it down correctly, It is very easy to cut into the gold etc, Is the phone fully supported by your Network ie: Frequencies? Is the Lumia 819 compatible? I noticed you have already tried manual config of APN, Does your sim have any apps which can be found in settings/Sim applications? Sometimes your sim card has a "get settings" app, Try maybe a hard reset or contacting your provider if all else fails, Hope you get it sorted
Hi. I just purchased the Lumia 920 and put in my SIM card. After the phone boots up I try and surf with IE and get no page can be displayed. I previously had a LG Win 7.5 phone and internet worked fine. I put in my friend's sim card into my new Lumia 920 and I can surf. My AT&T plan has the option Unlimited Data, non smartphone. Did A&T finally figure out that I am using a smart phone and not allow me to surf, or could it be somehing else?
Thanks so much!

It is very likely that they have figured it out, but you could try changing the APN settings.

I had the same problem, so I called ATT, they said when I upgraded my plan wasn't rolled over automatically for some unknown reason ( some moron must have messed it up).. I don't have unlimited plan but calling them solved my problem, after they corrected it all I needed was to restart my phone..

If you purchased AT&T branded L920 then you won't be able to use it without smartphone data plan.
Hello and Merry Christmas everyone
I got an unlocked Rogers Nokia Lumia 920. I live in Mexico City and my primary carrier is Telcel.
The phone is not working properly with data connection while under wifi it does.
First I used to have a non-LTE sim card with my Lumia and 3G internet was not working smoothly. Most of the time I was not connected despite it showed 3G and good signal. Tried restarting several times, it worked sometimes, others did not. Many times now it does not show either 3G or 4G.
I assumed that it was because I did not set up APN settings, but when I did, it did not improve as expected.
Afterwards, I asked Telcel to switch my sim card to a LTE ready. I though that would fix it, but I can't see any improvements.
The Lumia is set to LTE as fastest network. I do not understand whether I need to set up a new APN now for LTE. Telcel won't help me because the phone has not been released here yet.
Any suggestions? Do I need to set up an APN or will the sim card do it automatically?
I can't return the phone because I bought it through Mercadolibre (a sort of Mexican ebay) although the phone was brand new and it generally works great.
Hope you can help me.
Thanks.
Alessandro

Nokia has an app for APN in the Windows Phone Store. Can not be downloaded from web, must be downloaded from your phone.
Hello, I also have a rogers Lumia 920, I'm seeing the same behavior with movistar SIM card, might be something with the phone/software version. I just had the phone for 3 days so I will probably give it more time to have a better idea of what's happening

Hello everybody,
I am living in Japan and I was tired from my old Sharp smartphone with Android. I fall in love with the Lumia 920 and after many internet research and check that says there is no problem,I decided to buy one. I bought it on Amazon from a company in Hong Kong and the phone comes from Australia.
My provider is Softbank. In order to have LTE, is subscribe to a new Iphone 5 that my wife should use later. But when I put the nano SIM of the Iphone to the Lumia I could not get it working. I have at beginning no signal, when I then set the connection speed from 4G to 3G I get softbank signals but then no data connection.
I also went to (some) Softbank shops, and everytime the staffs told me it's not a Softbank device so it's not working....but I can hardly believe that they lock the SIM for Softbank's devices...in my opinion SIM doesn't recognize the device, does she?
Has anyone of you experience of Lumia in Japan? is there any specific set up to perform?
For the moment I just use the Iphone as tethering for the Lumia...but it's a quite expensive solution and my wife will not agree this as long term solution.
Thank you in advance,

HI,
Are you sure about nano sim or you use an adapter ?
Lumia cannot work with nano sim.
If sim is not recognized you will receive SIM error.
If lumia is sim-locked you will be asked for unlock code if SIM is recognized.

Hello,
Thank you.
Yes actually I use an adapter (and I broke the small pins when pulling out the SIM rack...but that's another story )
The Lumia was sold as SIM free. When I put the first time I didnt get windows to ask the unlocking code...so I guess it's really SIM free.
Then I didn't get the Softbank network...I check in the setting we 4G activated he didn't recognize the Softbank LTE network...but with 3G he could find it. So I think the SIM is recognized and that it's then just a setting issue? or also I saw that some people had issue with different roms??

what pins you broke ? SIM readers pins ?
if this is the case your phone probably don't read the SIM card I have the same issue and have to change the flex cable with the SIM reader.
can you make phone calls when you're running 3g ?
I've a problem with my new Honor 8. I have a Vodafone contract SIM in slot 1 and when I went abroad to St Lucia I bought a local SIM (flow) for slot 2 and switched over to activate that in the settings. A Simple process i have not done before on this phone but have on my previous Motorola Moto G4. The problem is the only network the phone could see was the other carrier on the island (Digicel) who Vodafone use if I used world traveler plus at £6 a day. The SIM worked fine in my friends Samsung J4 so the SIM was OK. I tried the Flow SIM in SIM1 and it still didn't work.? again it detected the Digicel network but not flow? I tried auto search and manual search?. Actuated roaming and mobile data. Re-started the phone countless times. It's like the phone is behaving as if it's locked for Vodafone only (which is what the guys in the flow shop said?) but I bought the phone from Huawei direct through Amazon as unlocked?
It should be simple and straightforward?. I've checked and re-checked the settings many times
Any ideas?
