Cannot "Search Network" for the right carrier (SIM-card) while roaming. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am from India and travel between two cities every month. For City-A I use "Vodafone" and for City-B I use "Airtel". My Google Nexus has the latest OTA updates but the moment I leave the Home network, the phone goes into "Emergency call only" mode.
My location being neither Home Network of either of my SIM.
When I "Search Network" I get the following result:
When the Vodaphone SIM is inserted it shows "Airtel IN" , "IN Loop" and other carriers but not "Vodafone IN".
When Airtel SIM is inserted it shows "Vodafone IN" but not "Airtel IN". Wrote to google but got no response. Got new SIM, same result. Really frustating :crying:

[Q] Change SIM card - wireless disappears?

I live in China and use China Unicom. I need to install some software from Google Play that won't install in China. So, I power off, insert my T-Mobile SIM, and reboot. This has always worked before. This time, after booting, the wireless network does not appear. This is my home network running DD-WRT and WPA2. The network shows up in the "Wifi networks" list but "not in range". My computer's wireless works just fine. Using "Wifi Analyzer" app with China Unicom SIM shows a strong network signal, rebooting with T-Mobile SIM shows nothing in range.
I don't think it's related to Google Account login credentials because it doesn't get to that point. No network = not able to log in. I have done this SIM switch before and it always worked just fine.

[Q] [HTC One M7] Can't connect to Network in Australia

Hi, I have a Vodafone Germany SIM card that I would like to use in Australia to receive text messages (for online banking verification).
I have it S-Off, rooted and converted to Google Play edition and it has the latest Lollipop firmware, if that matters.
I have been in Australia since February and this used to work perfectly fine (a couple of months ago), but today when I tried to use my German SIM Card again I got "Emergency Calls only".
When I go to Settings --> Wireless & networks --> Cellular networks --> Network operators, after searching it gives me a list of 4 different operators, as well as choose automatically, no matter which I click on it says "Registering on [network] ..." for about 1-2 minutes, and then tells me "Can't connect to network right now, please try again later"
I have tried all I can think of:
Rebooting Phone
Turning LTE/3G/2G on/off
Turning Roaming On/Off
Turning Data On/Off
Dialing *#*#4636#*#* and turning on GSM only/ GSM auto/GSM LTE auto
All to no avail.
I have no problem using my Australian SIM and had no problems doing the same thing a couple of months ago. My Phone was already S-Off, etc. then.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't find "Network operators" setting

The phone is one of the Verizon Moto Gs and it's been used on T-Mobile for some time now. I have two of them, and one shows the network operators setting in the menu for cellular network settings. Unfortunately my wife took the other one overseas and T-Mobile wasn't connecting to a local network for roaming and now she's trying to use a local sim and still can't connect. Her phone only has "Data roaming access", "Preferred network type" and "Access Point Names" in the "Cellular network settings" menu. "Network operators" is suspiciously missing. Is there something that needs configuring for this to show up? Has anyone else noticed that option missing?

Unlocked S8 data issues

I got my phone unlocked and put on Verizon. As soon as I put my sim card in I see "searching for service" and can use data online but can't recieve calls or send/receive texts
Edit: Found out through trial and error I can send and recieve messages/call when roaming domestically. As for the "searching for service" that has changed to "preferred system"

mke sure it supports data may be on 4g and calls texts on 3g
Sprint phones are always finicky on other carriers.
check all the supported bands of the device and verizon in your area
Using verizon on sprint galaxy you need to change the firmware to the verizon one, i had that issue.

My phone said "No Service" or "emergency service only" suddenly.

My phone failed to make any calls and text messages suddenly the day before yesterday.
It said "No Service" or "emergency service only". It was also unable to connect to internet on 4G or 3G.
After restarting several times and moving anywhere, it didn't work yet.
So I went to a customer center of my carrier yesterday. It replaced my SIM card.
Now it resumes and works well till now.
For your reference.
