Could be location that's biggest thing your area and distance from tower matter most if you get better signal in town or certain areas than that most likely is signal reception all else fail reset the network

This is also showing up it's a sim card not an electronic sim @meself

Just thought of this make sure your phones showing unlocked

Could be activation issue also as I think more

[User1u6g9kkl]

Should I take it to one of their stores to get a new sim would that help with the activation as well

[meself]

Personally I would take ti the store get the imei and check if it's activated think that's in the about phone at bottom of settings and see if that's issue it could also be the Sim but check both

Yes. Get a new sim and make sure it works before leaving the store
