As I've do often, I swapped my TMobile sim from my S2 to my Note. Everything was working fine on the S2 but now the Note isn't showing the data signal and is showing the above phrase when I try to make a call. I removed and replaced the sim several times with no difference. Any ideas?

I just put it back in the S2 and everything works. Darn it.


Back into the Note again- time's updated and "TMobile" is showing in the left of the notification bar but no data or calls ("out of service area") at all.


Back into the S2, everything works. Back in the Note, nothing. Now it's showing TMobile in the notification bar and on the lock screen, but the wrong time.

How do I check if my imei has been blocked?

It came up as unknown at TMobile and good at the AT&T store. It's probably the sim cage.

Do you have reason to suspect it might be blacklisted(blocked)? Did you buy it second hand - like Ebay?

That's my guess also.

I bought it off swappa but an AT&T store confirmed yesterday that it was fine. When I get back home I'll try putting the sim in with a thin piece of plastic on top to see if that'll snug it up.

It works again, for whatever reason. I even tried moving the sim a bit in the slot, still works. I suppose I should be happy but now I'm worried about it stopping working while I'm out and about.
