c) Enable “Data roaming” by accessing “Settings”->“Cellular network” ->Enable “Roaming Mode”->Click “OK” on the pop up window.
d) Move to a location with a stronger signal and try again.

f) Contact your SIM card operator to check the network coverage at your location.
g) Put your SIM into another device to check whether the SIM works in that device. This test will identify whether the issue is with your SIM or device.
h) Check whether there are smudges or scratches on your SIM card’s metal surface. If yes, please contact your operator to obtain a replacement SIM.
