An unlocked phone? does that mean it was locked first. Hmmm.. u can unlock phone and use only certain SIMs. A few service Providers isssue SIMs that do not work on Unlocked handset as well. See if it works if it does not then U will have to change the handset and that handset should not be locked to any service provider. Since you bought their own Internet Plan, t should work.. $30 a month is expensive for Internet.
Call up your current service provider and ask them if their SIM is gud 4 Unlocked handsets. Their MVNO or ONO wudn't allow the support. Latch your network by switching off/ON the phone.. go to Network Settings and select the Network Manual not Automatic and select the service provider or under whose network they work on.. Hop this helps. If it does not then contact CS if u can.. Take care
