My s6 is locked (UK)? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased a S6 on EE a week ago. Has been working fine with an ee sim, however I have not made any calls or texts yet, just using the phone for Internet on wifi etc.
I have a regular three sim which I would like to use so I have trimmed it down with scissors and this made me cut part of the gold contact bit off (I read online this shouldnt affect the sim).
I'm guessing this phone is locked as when I insert the sim it detects a new sim has been inserted, it makes me restart too. Upon booting up however it says no sim card/ emergency calls only however I see a solid connection. I cannot make any calls as it says not registered to a network or something.
Now my question is that is the phone picking up the sim card? If yes why is it not prompting me with a sim unlock code screen? Secondly is my phone not detecting the sim card at all? Is that the reason why I am not prompted with a unlock code screen? All help is appreciated. Thank you.

Go onto settings, then onto Mobile Networks, then Network Operators, then Search Networks then click the Three carrier. It will take a few mins to search for all the networks so do not back out.

[Q] D2G was unlocked by turbosim. but it have problems..

Hello.
I bought D2G from ebay last month.
It was locked and has bad ESN.
And I unlocked D2G using turbo sim card from ebay.
That item number is 200539432676 and you can search it just type "no cut unlock sim card".
And maybe you can unlock it follow these steps.
0. You need prepare local carrier's sim card, another local phone, D2G
1. Put your sim card in local cellphone and turn on. After it receive signal, pull out the battery and your sim card. (Do not turn off the cellphone before pull out the batt. and sim)
2. Put your sim card on locked D2G with turbosim.
3. Turn on D2G and change the network mode (if you need) and set up the APN
4. Check the data roaming
Settings - Wireless & networks - Data manager - Data delivery - Data roaming
After that, My D2G work with roaming mode. I can use calling, text messaging and 3G internet service thru GSM/UMTS mode.
(I'm living in South Korea and local carrier provide wcdma hsdpa service.)
But my unlocked D2G have two problems.
1. When I use other local sims with turbosim, it's not work. I guess this turbosim
has compatible problem. (Maybe newer sim will not work.)
2. I only can receive incoming call and message(text and MMS) when my D2G was connected on "H"(Hsdpa). I cannot receive that things when signal turned to "3G".
I cannot use D2G for main phone.. Is there any way to connect HSDPA only? I tried to find some apps for do that, but there is no apps for it. If anyone know about the way, Please help me!
Thanks for read my post and please understand my poor english skill
TurboSIM is not the way to go. There are problems with incoming calls not going thru, losing service every now and then/etc
You should really try to unlock the phone by code. Have you tried online unlockers? You may be lucky your phone not to be from the locked down ones and to unlock with ease. Give it a try!

I already got code from Ebay seller, and it dose not work.
And now I'm in South Korea so turbosim is only one way unlock it.
And I guess I can use my D2G with turbosim if I can connect Hsdpa only.
Is there any way to do that?

Can't connect to network

I inserted valid nano sim card properly. Same card works in all other phones. In Z3 on lock screen at the top it says NO SIM card - Emergency calls only. Exclamation mark in notifications shows No service (Selected network unavailable).
Under Settings>Mobile Networks>Service providers I see all providers available in my region but can't connect automatically or manual. When i Choose manual (my network HT HR) T-mobile, then Registering on HT HR... and after it says Cannot connect to network now. Please try later. I have tried multiple sim cards from all network providers. Under Service menu> Sim Lock there are all 0 (zeros) which I think shows that phone isn't Sim locked.
Tried to flash few stock ROMs over Flashtool, repair via companion, even tried to root and with [ROM][MARSHMALLOW][LB/UB][570][Z3] eXistenZ Marshmallow | v1.0.5 |
Last thing I tried was to put piece of paper between Sim card and Sim tray.
Same thing with everything. Could it be SW issue or HW? If it's SW what to do?

If your phone says NO SIM, and your SIM works in other devices, then it's a phone error. If your SIM doesn't work in a different phone, replace SIM.

[Completed] SIM card detected but no signal

Hi, I recently got an Infinix HOT 3 LTE. It's a really great phone, but I have a problem with it, my 3G SIM card isn't working properly.
When I insert it and start the phone, the card is detected, I enter my PIN code, then when I try to make a phone call it says "Cellular network not available". I tried switching the SIM card slots, both didn't work for my card. Then I tried to change the network provider manually and all and I also tried changing other cellular network options over and over again but nothing worked, I also tried switching airplane mode on and off. I got frustrated with this problem and I decided to factory reset my phone, but the problem was still there. After that I tried using someone else's 4G SIM card, and it worked, so there's no problem with my phone or SIM slots. My 3G SIM card is fine I think, it works on my old phone, as well as others.
Please help if you can.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Are you sure the phone is compatible with your carriers bands? If you are sure try asking your network provider for a new sim
Good Luck

Does not recognize any sim after Reset

hello, I have a Samsung s6 edge+ from sprint (SM G928P). It was working fine with all the carriers in my country (El Salvador) But after a Reset, it did not recognize any sim card. It shows a message saying to insert the UICC sim card provided by my carrier.
The weird thing is that, sometimes, it barely gets signal, but no data. This is just for a minute and then, no signal with any carrier.
Is there a solution? I have the MSL code in case I can use it. I tried to activate global mode , but it did not work.
thanks a lot in advanced
