I just bought a fido sim card and I get the msg: "cannot register on this network. choose another network, or disconnect your data connection and try again" when i try to manually connect to the network. I have using this phone with at least two sim cards back in my outcry and i bought it independently from my previous network from an eshop in Ireland..
Any thoughts? Could be the ROM and radio installed?

maybe you just need simunlock, to get it go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Blackstone#SIM_Unlocking
I have tried to unlock the sim but the text file doesnt contain any 8-digit number.. So i assumed that this is not the problem..
changing the sim does not change anything in your system settings so maybe you need to adjust some settings to get it working. go to phone settings and look at the band and network settings. once you did that your sim should be able to register with the network, then run the connection wizard to set up your 3g and mms settings.
some settings are also stored on the sim card itself (including call barring, call waiting, sms service center...). eventually you should have a look into that as well.
if it isn't in the settings, you should post more information on your device. what rom/radio rom/spl are you running?
I have already played around with the band settings but nothing. I also have run the network wizard several times, but nothing either..
My ROM is 1.59.23148 SL7.1 WWE and the radio 1.13.25.24
I flashed the official rom:RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship
and when I try to set the network type to GSM (from auto selection) or/and band to 850/1900 I get the msg: "Warning: Unable to change the GSM/UMTS Band, Please try again later."

When trying to switch to manual network selection my wizard gives an error "Unable to read setting from the network...".
At the same time it is able to read the SMS gateway.
Swithching networks manually is really important when roaming because not all operators have GPRS roaming. However, the error is present in both - home network and roaming networks.
My intermediary solution is to plug the SIM to another phone, switch the network on it and then put the SIM back to Wizard.
My current hypothesis is that there is something wrong with my SIM, however my collegue with similar SIM has exactly the same problem. May be our carrier producer incompartible SIMs?
I have the latest Radio ROM as part of Qtek AKU2 update.
Does anyone else encounter this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,

I bought a new imate jam from the us and I live in israel.
before that i checked all the frequencies to see it it will work here and everything seem ok.
once i installed my sim card iv got that error:
"unable to register on selected network.
choose another network' or dissconnect your data
connection and try again."
* when i select 'manual' on networks it search and find my network.
* when i put sim card from different network it works!
Any solution?
Thanks
Does your SIM work with other phones?
yes
all the sim's from that provider doesnt work
Is there a way to lock my Diamond2 to use SIM card only from one operator (CC 284 NC 03, Bulgaria Vivacom) ???
I want to make my girlfriend to get SIM from Vivacom .
Not so sure about the simcard part but you can configure the phone to use only 1 network. Go to phone setting, personal, phone.
On the network page, set to manual and pick the operator network u wanna use. That'll get the phone to connect to that particular network only.
Changing simcards should result in no network connection, unless the setting is changed back to auto or set to another operator..

Good solution, but when reboot the phone I get message to select network again and she can choose another network.
Lol don't you think you are over-abusive to your gf??? What's the catch? Unlimited Viva 2 Viva calls????
Really strange case:
I got a RAZR M that I hacked to work with US GSM carriers using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542
I am using my corporate ATnT card with it.
I am currently in roaming (Russia first, now Kazakhstan). Only GSM/UMTS networks here.
I have another simcard with me which is from Russian operator (Beeline). This network is present in Kazakhstan, however simcard is Russian, so in Kazakhstan this Beeline simcard is also in roaming.
Status:
On ATnT card, my RAZR wont connect properly to local cellphone networks. To explain better - it will occasionally connect to one of local operators (KCELL, MCC/MNC 40102), but it takes A LONG time to connect, easily disconnects, and it is very unreliable and erratic.
Moreover, in Mobile Network Settings menu there is NO OPTION to select operator (i do have GSM/UMTS mode enabled, not global).
On BeeLine card, my RAZR happily connects to any of chosen networks, AND operator selection option is available in Mobile Network settings.
I have another phone in my pocket - old Nokia S40 based. This one works perfectly with Beeline simcard. With ATnT simcard it wont automatically connect to a network, but manual operator selection dialog is accessible, and I can select any network and connect to it.
So, for some reason, with ATnT simcard in my RAZR, mobile networks settings menu disbles (completely removes!) operator selection dialog.
Any way to get around this? I have scraped around every possible search criteria, but I cant find any way to force that menu item to appear!
However, I accidentally stumbled upon a weird workaround:
I put Beeline card in
Manually select operator (Beeline)
Turn off the phone
Put in ATnT simcard
Turn the phone on
In this case on startup phone throws in notification (from motorola phone app) saying "selected preferred network not available".
If i click that notification, it takes me directly to network scanning menu, happily displays available networks and allows me to connect. From that point on, it stays fixed to the network I chose.
This means that this is not a problem of simcard or radio or ROM directly. It is some weird trigger built into ROM that reacts to ATnT simcard and removes "operator selection" option from setting.
Any idea how to force Operator Selection option to appear, or invoke it otherwise? Or maybe solve the issue alltogether? My workaround is really inconvenient.
I've been having this problem for a few days now. Whenever I try to make a call, it gives me the message, "Mobile Network Not Available." I am able to connect to Wi-Fi without a problem but I cannot make or receive phone calls or text messages - only "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY" I thought it was because I had weak signal at home so I traveled somewhere else but still, with little success.
I've tried everything I can think of. I have:
- Factory reset it (many many times)
- Removed the SIM card and put-it-back-in trick
- Put my SIM card onto another phone and worked just fine
- Airplane Mode On>Turn off phone> Turn back on phone> Turn off Airplane mode
- Create a new APN under T-mobile settings
- Turned the Radio off and back on again
- Went to Settings>More>Mobile networks>Network operators>T-Mobile and it gives me "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network." and sometimes, "Cannot connect to this network, please try again later"
- Turned on "Use only 2G Networks"
- Turned on "Data Enabled"
- Turned on and off "Data Roaming"
- In the Setting>About Phone>Status, it says,
"Network: Unknown"
"Mobile Network Type: UNKNOWN:0"
"Mobile Network State: Disconnected"
I have tried all of this and I am still unable to make or receive calls and text messages. Anyone, please help me !!
Sounds like you need a new Sim card. If you tried putting the Sim card in another phone and it doesn't work, then most likely it's a Sim card issue. Order one online or head over to a T-Mobile store and they should give you one for free.

No, when I put my SIM card on another phone, it worked just fine. I did not have any problems with signal reception. Sorry for the confusion.

did you buy the phone used, or off ebay(or similar)? maybe your phone is blacklisted..

I got the phone through a friend. Is there anyway to check if my phone is blacklisted?

Go to Settings and check your baseband. If it says not available or something like that then you'll need to flash a new radio
