General No Sin Card - no connection possible - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Hello..
I have my second Google Pixel 7 Pro Phone here, where the basic function (cellular) not possible.
No SIM Card - service not available is displayed as an error message.
A reset, a reset of the connections, a new SIM card brought no improvement, another pixel (Rep. by Google has the same error since this morning).
The pixel has all the latest patches, and not beta version.
When I restart the Pixel the error is gone (and all is ok) for about 6 hours or sometimes more.
i am also not the only one with this error, and the Google Support is at this Time Clueless...

If it's happening with multiple Pixel phones and multiple sim cards it has to be some form of incompatibility between your network and the phone.
Have you tried the card with another phone and the phone with another card?

Yep the Sim Card works perfect in my Xiaomi MI Note 10 pro, i have never befor any error like that.
- This is the basic function of a Phone that should always work

And I bet you if you put another provider's sim in the phone, it would work fine. You're blaming the phone exclusively and I'd say its likely a combination of the two - your provider and the phone.
Is it a sim free, unbranded Pixel 7 Pro or network branded? I also wouldn't rule out changes made to the phone by the network contributing if it's branded.

The Pixel 7 Pro is (unlocked) provider Free also Sim Free.

So the same as mine and thousands of others who don't have this issue. Put another sim card in it from another provider, I can pretty much guarantee it won't happen.
Looking at what you have said, I'd say there is an incompatibility between your network and the P7P. But it's not something you can blame the phone for exclusively.

and i found the same problem in this forum
Pixel 7 Pro losing cellular connection and unable to reconnect
I live in Boston metro area with abundant LTE/5G coverage, but drive through two nearly dead zones, each of them lasts just a few seconds. My previous phone would not stop YouTube playback going through those areas. My Pixel 7 Pro loses...

so i think its a PIxel 7 problem

Here's what happened with mine. Received last week of November.
Coming from a PIxel 6 Pro, straight talk (tracfone) sim on Verizon network.
Called straight talk, THEY said I needed to purchase a new sim card. Gave
them my IMEI and they said it was compatible, but you still had to buy a new
sim. On another xda thread, someone said they updated to the beta version
that fixed that issue. I upgraded to the beta and after the reboot my sim
card worked.

So now its offical..its a top reportert issue

Does your Mobile Network use Esim? If so have you asked about moving to it to see if it fixes your issue?

Never had this issue, and neither have hundreds of thousands of other Pixel 7 Pro owners. I'd still suggest it's related to a combination of the phone and network provider and not exclusive to the handset. Otherwise I'd have it too on my Pixel 7 Pro with Vodafone UK.

I had a similar problem and this is how I solved. My phone could not connect with 4g/5g. So I put the network mode on 2g/3g and then I could log in. After that I inserted manually the Internet apn. Hope this helps somehow.

I've had a working sin card for as long as I can remember

You told us: Here's how many polled Pixel 7 owners have reception issues
We asked Pixel 7 owners whether they've had reception and connectivity issues. It turns out that Google has improved matters after all.

[Q] 3G not working

My new Honor 6 H60-L02 doesn't seem to have a data connection. The telephoning/messaging works well, but when I am out of wifi range, and want to use the internet, the message I get is 'no network connection'.
Any help appreciated.
Sorted!!
It was my sim card settings, OK now.
Which settings you mean? I've got the same problem on h06-l04 and did everything like deleting the APN, tested APNs from other providers etc. - nothing helped. The SIM shows h+ and h all the time, but when I try to open a site or try to update my apps over google play the connection works a few seconds up to a minute and then the connection got lost again. It never happened on my galaxy s2.
I used the APN settings on my sim card providers web site and they worked perfectly. If I am not in a wifi zone the phone switches to h+ and performs very well.
3g not working
So my new huawei honor 6 is not supporting 3g. It only shows edge connection. How to sort this out? Please help.

What model do u have? H01, H11 - won't support Euro 3G, thay are only for China. H02 and H12 - should work fine with 3g. H04 - Should work fine with 3g and 4g in your country.
Also please check if your carier provides 3g service.

I received huawei from Uk. Honor 7, Network unlocked but i cant access 3g to 4g service data. It only works when i turn to 2g, edge and very slow. Any help?
3G/4G issue
I'm also having the same issue with my Honor 6+ which i bought last month from dubai. I'm trying to use data connection using 3G/4G in india as i'm residing in India, but even after following all the required settings that are provided by my service provider and the other trouble shooting steps i'm still no where. It always displays the 3G/4G icon at the top but never works. I doubt if it is something to do with the software/firmware version. Please suggest.
I'm also having the same issue with my Honor 6+ which i bought last month from Malaysia and using in Bangladesh. I tried airplane mode on and off, it shows 3G for few moment or minutes but then again it becomes edge mode. Please help me out from this problem.. thanks in advance..
I live in India and I bought my Honor six plus online from a local retailer, and my phone can only access 2G data (or EDGE, apparently ) which is too slow to support anything. At first, I thought it was a sim card issue but I tried using the same sim in someone else's phone and that person's phone had no such problem. Even my brother's Iphone faced nothing of the sort. Any one know how to fix this?
Check on the back of the phone for phone number. On my honor 6, on the back on the lower part are 2 lines with text. on the second line I have found my phone model: H60-L2, in my case. Then you can check with, for example, http://willmyphonework.net/ if your phone model will work in your country. I know for example that my phone model will not allow 4G in all European countries.
If you prove that your phone is working in your country than its a matter of settings. You can try:
- Place the sim card with a data plan on the main sim tray. Honor 6 not rooted and running stable ROM will allow data only on the first tray. In Settings -> Dual Card Sim Management you can see which card is in which tray. If necessary switch the sim cards into the other tray.
- Check your settings and here the most important one is the APN. Make sure that the settings of your operator are correctly set in order to have mobile connection.
Generally the 3G network should at least be recognized, so if your phone is not registering with a 3G network then either it is not hardware compatible or you have placed your SIM in the wrong tray. Most probably is the first option and what you can do is to change the phone...
Man...i was having the same problem...well just 2 mins back!??
I have marshmallow update...and wat my problem was that the apn was set, though correctly, but in upper amd lower case....
And it seems apns are case sensitive...so check it!
Honor 6x is my latest mobile, which i bought a week before, it's seems like the mobile having data connection problems. till i'm using 4G sims but i'm not getting at least 2g speed, most of the time i'm not getting internet connections. at the same time it's showing H and H+ symbols ...
if possible, someone pls help me here.

Data is gone

will be on phone with AT&T in the morning or via chat with them. I have no access to my mobile data. no explanation, just stopped working. went into my settings for both SIM cards as I have data on both actually, but SIM 1 is the primary one and designated one. Switching settings made no difference. Had it look for network automatically says it's joined already but it's not. no connection, no internet, no Google now, email, nothing. confirmed with AT&T that my data plan is not messed up and still on my account. Was driving and it was end of night so rebooted phone, did not resolve, going to call tomorrow. (As if I have the time but I missed messages I needed to deal with on my break that came in personal email that can't be accessed at work). any suggestions with APN settings I might be missing or something? This is random and weird. Unless somehow data has an outage but you'd think the rep would have told me that. But this needs to be resolved! Don't know if it's AT&T or a phone setting.Was working fine until this morning! Love the phone! anyone? BTW: I just logged on to my account and have an idea: My SIM 1 is from my Note 3 but my account is reflecting that my device is now showing as unknown, so I wonder if this is what is going on. hmm. I'm still getting phone and text messages though. I guess I'm just going to register my SIM 1 now over too as well. maybe that's the issue. my SIM 2 is fully registered to the Pure XL. I guess I'm going online chat tomorrow again. Also, 4G is not showing up now as an available option under network choice either. So I wonder then if it's an outage issue but it's almost midnight here. Will have to chat tomorrow at work somehow with tech support. It's not the issue though with the SIM card from the Note 3 being the cause because SIM 2 is registered under the Pure XL and has a separate data plan, and that one is not working either when I try to temporarily make SIM 2 the data SIM slot. So it must be an AT&T issue. Will have to wait until the morning.

Well, I have learned it is a twofold issue, but importantly, all CARRIER RELATED, not phone related thank goodness. Phone is perfect
1. AT&T did a roving sweep and discovered that my IMEI on SIM 1 was no longer matching, so it turns out that my using the Note 3 SIM was in fact, an issue. I have since had the SIM re-provisioned with the IMEI for SIM 1 now on the Pure XL.
2. However...it turns out that AT&T in my area is in fact having major data network outage problems and that explains why I was unable to log on yesterday even with my properly provisioned SIM 2. And the network is in fact, STILL OUT. So I am still unable to access mobile data and it has NOTHING to do with the phone. It's AT&T all the way. Right now-the network is down. Okay-fine-that happens-they'll fix it. If you call 611 there's an alert saying that. I know stuff happens. That explains why I was getting the weird readouts yesterday that were only showing 2G and 3G on the network. (and I still wasn't getting any connection to data anyway).
So that's what the issue is. The network has been down though more than a day which is ridiculous. They really need to fix that or pro-rate that on our bills then! I'm unable to access personal email from work and rely on my phone and this is a long stretch of time to be offline so they really need to get on the stick and fix this!

SIM Detected But No Service???

Hey Everyone. So I just received my unlocked 7 Pro from OnePlus' website, and trying to use it on T-Mobile. Took my SIM card out of my Pixel 2 XL and popped it in. Noticed when I first powered on at the beginning of setup, there is no cellular signal. Went through setup and still no signal. Even updated to 9.5.13.GM21AA and STILL no signal. It's weird because it detects the SIM card in slot 1, and even shows my phone number on the SIM, but shows Network as "Unknown" and "Disconnected, Radio Off, etc." Same exact thing on SIM slot 2. The correct APN is selected and everything. SIM still works perfectly fine in my 2 XL. Even tried a friend's T-Mobile SIM card, and the same thing. It detects the number, but no signal. Did I get a lemon? Don't think it's the SIM since I tried two different ones, and my current one still works in my 2 XL.
TL;DR
Cellular network not working even though it detects the SIM card. Does this sound like a hardware issue? Already got a RMA number to send it back, but if it's a simple fix, I'd rather do that instead of having to ship it out and wait a week to get a replacement.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
have you registered to network or dialed *#*#4636#*#* are you rooted or no different options to take the project fi - t apn makes my whole network setting disappear lol i fixed it google dont play nice
i have the same issue now with my 7Pro, did you manage to get it fixed?

OnePlus 7 Pro 5G Sprint APN problem

Hi there! Today I received my OnePlus 7 Pro 5G(GM1925, SPRINT), I bought it from a guy in a marketplace web we use here in Argentina, he brought the phone from USA and it's unlocked..so that the thing is for some reason with my current carrier(Tuenti here in argentina) I can get full signal, calls, sms but no mobile data and the APN option isn't available for me, it says " access point name settings are not available for this user" and there is no "+" symbol and all the option are greyed out. I try with another sim, from the carrier the previous owner has and it worked like charm, same with other 2 sim card from the other 2 carriers here, i take the APN with one of the carriers and I tried to modify it but it doesnt allowed me, the edit section is greyed out, with the other one i modify it but when i put the Tuenti sim card i get the "acces point settings..." I try everything from rebooting with wifi several times to hard reset and nothing worth...what are my chances here? its a really really rare situation, i contact the carrier and they say that is a phone problem
Do I need to flash another rom? Root it and modify it? i prefer not to touch anyting.
I really need to get mobile data with my carrier, thank you in advance! Cheers
Totally unrelated, but I had an HTC U11 that was sitting in the drawer that I recently tried to activate on sprint in the US. It gave me the same problem. I had service on this phone before with data. I reinstalled stock rom, tried two different sim cards. Calls and text worked but no data. I had to get a new phone so I just got a OP7pro 5G and am just reading through the forums on it. Hope you fixed it. But if you did curious what you did to remedy it.

Question PSA: It's looking like the Unlocked Pixel 7/7 Pro & Straight Talk/Tracfone's Verizon BYOP service are not compatible.

If you're using either Straight Talk, or Tracfone with their Verizon SIM, I would avoid the Unlocked Pixel 7 & 7 Pro for right now. I'm not sure if it's the phones themselves, or an issue with the carrier, or a combination of both, but it seems they're not compatible. I got my 7 Pro on Wednesday and tried using my ST Verizon SIM and it wouldn't work. I'm coming from a Oneplus 9 Pro and the SIM works just fine.
I say it could be an issue with either the phone, or with ST/TF because when I contacted Google Support to initiate an exchange, the only phone they would let me order with my RMA was the Google Fi version. I contacted support again about not being able to order the Unlocked version. I sent them a screenshot of my order email and a picture of the phones box with the SKU, all of which pointed to the phone being the Unlocked version. They agreed and I'm now waiting for them to resolve the issue of me not being able to buy the Unlocked version through my RMA request. So maybe there could be an issue on Googles end with the Unlocked version of the pixel 7/7 Pro.
I also say it could be an issue with ST/TF, becasue Verizon has recently bought Tracfone and all of their subsidiaries, Straight Talk being one of them. Because of this, I'm not sure if they've basically merged the services to the point where you would need the Verizon version of the phone in order for it to work. This is just speculation on my part though. I did contact Straight Talk support first, where they checked my IMEI/ICCID numbers, which matched what they were seeing on their end. They also ran me through the usual troubleshooting list, with nothing fixing the issue.
Here's a link to a couple threads with people having the same issue. The first one is one I posted the other day:

I am having the same issue with the phone reading the SIM Data just fine but will not connect to any cell towers, I did a bunch of research and there are several people with this same issue and some report doing a software update on the phone resolved their problem. I have not been as lucky as these people as I still have the issue with my phone.
As for the "Verizon" version of the phone there is no such thing for the P7P as the unlocked version and verizon version are the same model number for the phone which includes the 5G mmWave.
The update takes over an hour so be prepared for that

Oh yea, I already tried the update(didn't fix the issue) the other day, and yes, it took over an hour to install.
There are lots of compatibility issues. I tried signing up for eSIM on a bunch of MVNOs and prepaid plans last night and to my amazement the only one that worked was AT&T Prepaid -- and it's not supposed to work with Pixels on the activation portal.

Pixel 7 with the Straight Talk Verizon SIM here. Works fine on my Pixel 6.
I also tried the latest Pixel 7 software update, and it did not resolve the issue.
For what it's worth, I just contacted Google support. The representative told me they did not have any reports of this issue yet. I directed them to this post as well as another under the GooglePixel subreddit and one under the StraightTalk subreddit. I submitted all of my information to them and sent screenshots of the SIM not connecting. They are escalating the issue.

Just took my phone back to Best Buy. They had some more in stock so I tried another one straight out of the box without doing the update and that one is not reading my SIM and connecting to the towers either..
Google Fi sim has issues for me. Flashed latest Oct factory and BL unlock and root. Let sit overnight and installed sim. Looks like at moment of sim registration to cellular enabling it causes a reboot. Tried a few times and sometimes airplane mode would be on, and no sim (blank) or times just bootloop cycling. Removing sim, bootloop cycling stopped. Then airplane mode, but wifi can be on. So reflash latest again, no root. Same thing happening.
Support still clueless and escalation has begun.
Sim back in my 6a and all is fine.
I do know some data is pushed into system upon a Fi sim insertion been that way since my pixel 3. My local coverage is us cellular which requires a locked BL, but fortunately on Fi it works without a locked BL.
So thought to add, likely we need a immediate G side update...

https://www.reddit.com/r/TotalWireless/comments/y405wm/pixel_7_pro_issues/
Same issues with Total by Verizon (Total Wireless, another former tracfone) on my Pixel 7 as well as many others. Multiple sims and another carrier sim verified working in my phone.
Cross-posting this from reddit-
Brief update for everyone in the thread or lurking- Talked to Google support just now.
The tech I spoke explained that this is now a known widespread issue that has been escalated and is "top priority" (his words) for the engineers.
He documented my IMEI and added it to the ongoing ticket. I should be getting a follow-up email sometime in the future when a workaround is found.
I'd recommend calling to do the same ASAP to make sure that they are aware how widespread the issue is.

I am using it on Fi coming from my Pixel 4 XL. Instead of moving the sim card from my old phone I decided to use eSIM with this one and leave the card in the old one and it's working perfectly.
Excellent news ....for some.
I have many many devices on at any one moment and using the SIM vs eSIM allows me to keep the other non-phone devices on. Yes I could disable eSIM and still leave on. Unfortunately since I also reboot, flash different modules, roms, and in general leave only one as the sim activated device... Honestly if this is now a new thing, disclosure would be nice. No other pixel I've owned requires eSIM only. I will have to rethink my G. Fi future. Fortunately I'm now free of Fi device payments for purchase.
Edit update-- Seems on a Google Fi SIM that was used on my pixels 3, 4a, 4a5g, 6, 6a (2) working just fine...was the problem with 7 pro.
No good answer from Fi CS but they said to use a never used Fi sim. Which I had on hand.
Normal first SIM start and log in, works fine on 7 pro. Removed and now back on my 6a and working correctly. I guess... something is provisioned on carrier/sim/ install?
My answer is likely only helpful for Fi user base.
Total by Verizon (formerly total wireless). Having same issue. Pixel 7 won't connect to network, I've worked with their tech support for the past 18 hours with no luck. At this point I've reverted back to using my old phone and if this doesn't get resolved in the next week or so, I will be returning my pixel 7 as it's no use to me in its current form.
Semi-interesting thing.
I found an old straight talk AT&T SIM so I tried to activate that.
The Straight talk site accepted the SIM card number, but my IMEI was rejected. Either they are flat out saying it is incompatible now or ST has temporarily stopped Pixel 7 devices from attempting to activate until it's fixed. At least they seem to be aware?
Here's the message-
Our system shows that your phone will not work with Straight Talk’s service. Do you have another handset you would like to try? Or you can always check out our phone store to see what's available for purchase.

Go to prepaidcompare.net and find a new MVNO. All the TracFone brands have gone to hell since Verizon took them over.
I know some will not care to hear this, but it's probably worth posting (for the sake of those readers who might be wondering) that prepaid Verizon is indeed working without issue.
This isn't a vote or an ad for VZW.
I usually go with whatever is least expensive that meets my needs (Red Pocket, Straight Talk, Mint, Google Fi, Visible have all gotten my business at some point) but VZW is the only carrier with decent coverage at my current workplace.
I'm in the same boat of needing Verizon. I plan to check out US Mobile. Good pricing and esim capable (working with P7P, not with P7 right now) alont with a 10 day trial.

Are you locked or unlocked? Would be nice to know, unlockable device is my requirements. Having another good signal provider for my home would be nice, currently Verizon is one.
I couldn't in the past get Verizon because of the locked part...

FWIW, US Mobile Warp 5G SIM uses Verizon (and even gets the same priority Verizon postpaid customers get if you use a 5G device unlike Verizon prepaid which is deprioritized to last network priority) and I was even able to activate my eSIM on their service with no problem.
Unfortunately, Verizon sucks here, so the trial is going to go to waste, but I tried a bunch of MVNO and carrier prepaid options and only AT&T Prepaid and US Mobile worked.

The Pixel 7 Pro supports all of Verizon's bands including mmWave no matter if you get it locked from them or unlocked elsewhere. Verizon added the Pixel 7 Pro to their database from day one because of that mmWave support.
I might have used the wrong word, I meant can the bootloader be unlocked and multiple devices. My problem with Verizon was imei dependent. Could not use a Verizon sim on multiple devices.
