Trouble connecting to GSM network in the UK

Hello I am currently traveling in the UK using a loaner G'zOne Ravine2 phone set to GSM mode. It will not connect to any GSM provider in the UK and I get a "GSM limited service" message. Please help!

Outside of this issue with your phone, I hope you are having a splendid trip. Are you using a Verizon SIM card in the phone? If not, I am not able to troubleshoot the international carrier's SIM. You would need to contact them directly. I am so sorry for the confusion. http://vz.to/17KseUf

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this.

Tell us more about the problem, I can think up 100&1 different reasons, but don't have time to go through all the possibilities. So.. what happens?

I am having trouble connecting to wifi networks that are password secured, even though I know the passwords.

hey guys,
Ok so here is the problem. I am having trouble connecting to wifi networks that are password secured. I am able to connect to public wifi with no problem, but when networks have passwords on them I am unable to connect to them, and I know that passwords. I also know that i am putting the correct passwords in because I am able to connect to the networks on my computer. I have tried turning my phone off and then back on, turning the wifi off and then back on and even resetting my network passwords to no avail. The networks that are secure show up in the wifi list for networks but when I go to put the password in, it tells me "incorrect password for the network". It has never connected to it since the passwords have been put on it. I am out of ideas for trouble shooting. Can anyone else help?!

Try a soft reset by holding in the power button and the home button in at the same time for about 15 seconds until the screen flashes and then goes completely black. Afterwards try and turn the phone back on and see if that works. Also you could try and reset the Network Settings by going to Settings--General--Reset--Reset Network Settings and see if that resolves your problems as well. If all else fails be sure and do a backup through ITunes and then try to restore the device. Hopefully all will be well now.

1208 working in the GSM networks in the U.S.?

Question: any idea whether the 1208 model would work in the U.S. GSM networks?
On the sales package I got there is this marking
"GSM 900/1800 EGSM850/1900" which I believe indicates that it should work in the GSM networks in the U.S.
When I tried the online phone feature comparing tool on nokia.com, it's also indicated there that the frequency bands include 850/1900.
But the user guide of my phone (9202384/Issue 3 EN) says
"The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the GSM 900 and GSM 1800 networks."
That is, the phone would not work on the 850/1900 bands.
So which info is correct?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I found your posts and got strongly interested in.
I'm on a business trip in Canada. I bought Nokia 1208 in Russia, my service provider is also in Russia and gives me international roaming including a one in Canada.
The operating frequencies mentioned on the phone wrapping are exactly the same as “pafr” wrote above. And the ones mentioned in the user guide (2 ones) are the same as “pafr” has in his own guide with the only difference: my user guide is in Russian
The trouble is the phone is not working in Canada. It writes "No network coverage". The phone worked in Russia but it isn’t in Canada.
When I was buying the device, I asked the vendor whether it would work in Canada, and they answered YES. Having faced with the issue, I asked Nokia Support (at their site) what’s wrong with it. But they answered the phone should work and no actual help.
A friend of mine has got Motorola. He also bought the phone in Russia and has international roaming here, in Canada. He took his phone with him to Canada on a business trip too. It works. I borrowed his phone and inserted my SIM card into it. With my SIM card inserted in his phone, the network was immediately found (Rogers). Our location is Belleville, Ontario. Then we put his SIM-card in my Nokia 1208 and it didn't work either. So, it's not an issue with service provider. The service works indeed. It's the issue with the phone itself (Nokia 1208).
I’ve got an expert opinion that the phone is dual band but it comes in two versions, one for USA/Canada (GSM 850-1900) and one for Europe (GSM 900-1800). Obviously I have the European version, so... To my deep disappointment, Nokia Support (neither Canadian nor Russian) did not manage to agree with that and continue answering my phone should work in Canada. That’s all “help” I have had from them. This is extremely strange that Nokia look incompetent with their own product.
Do you know if there’s any chanсe to make my phone work? My be it needs some kind of initial activation, so that it could work then? How did “pafr” make their Nokia work?

I am having trouble connecting my bluetooth headset on the ipad 1. I have now been told that Apple is only allowing several headsets to be used with Ipad. Is this correct? I have a grundig headset and a plantronics headset but these can both not be found

I'm having trouble connecting my Intel iMac with the internet using wifi router

I'm having trouble configuring my iMac to accept a connection with my Telstra Elite mobile broadband Wifi router.
The iMac's Wifi is turned on and the elite router is selected in the Wifi list with a tick.
The router is turned on, and connected to the internet.
I'm able to surf the net and collect emails using my MacBook Pro ( what I'm using now) and my iPad with no hassles by connecting them to the Telstra Elite Wifi router. But I'm unable as yet to get a connection using the iMac.
The Telstra router accepts up to 5 simultaneous connections.
At present the display on the router says that three devices are connected. They being the iPad, the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
Can anyone help me out?

Can't connect to GSM networks - What's the problem ?

I am using a iPhone 5 (US/Verizon model) in Canada with a Telus pre-paid sim card and am having connectivity issues
At times it connect to the GSM network and is operational for about 24-48 hrs. Then, it either displays "No service" or "searching" in areas that clearly have connectivity.
In addition to the problems reported on this thread, I am also experiencing an additional issue - that being that the phone seems to not be able to get past the SIM unlock screen.
Specifically, I changed the default Telus SIM PIN code from 0000 to another number. when I power off/on the phone I am not able to get past the SIM unlock screen.
I have tried resetting network settings, toggling Airplane mode and soft reseting the phone to no avail
As with others, am interested to know if this might be a hardware issue or something that could be fixed by verizon, or a software update by Apple.
Also cross posted to the Apple Discussions Forum thread on the same topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread...rt=15&tstart=0

The Verizon iPhone 5, is a CDMA/GSM World Phone. Which means if one is roaming outside the US, the phone can connect to both CDMA and GSM network. Furthermore, as the phone is sold GSM UNLOCKED by Verizon, one can insert another carrier's nano-sim and have it work on their network to not be charged roaming charges

I have Trouble Connecting To WiFi Network with My Mac, while the rest of the technology connects to it perfectly...

I have used my Mac for almost a year now, and I've always had no problem connecting to WiFi, but today - suddenly I've lost the connection and now I can't see the WiFi Network in the list... I have 2 WiFi's connected together at home - TP Link and Netgear...
The internet still works on a PC which is connected through Ethernet, and the Mac itself works when it's connected through Ethernet... The first thought I had was the problem with WiFi settings, but my IPhone can connect to internet and work perfectly... So next thought was that it was a problem with my mac, but my dad has the same problem with his Mac (he also used this WiFi Network fine before)... So any thoughts?

Can I be connected to two networks at the same time?

Hi there
I have an imac desktop with 10.5.8 running. I have a wireless network with my timecapsule and a printer connected to it. We have two mac computers in the house
that print wirelessly via this network. I also have the internet coming in via a wireless modem/wifi which both computers use to go online. The trouble is everytime I want to print from either computer I have to change back and forth from the internet/network to the timecapsule/printer network. This is really fumbly and I wind up having to restart all the time because the printer gets locked up. It's just a big hassle. Is there any way I can be on both of these networks at the same time or is there some other way I can configure this?
Thanks!

Is there any way I can be on both of these networks at the same time or is there some other way I can configure this?
Yes, you can reconfigure the Time Capsule (TC) to "Join a wireless network." In this case the wireless network would be the one created by the other wireless Internet router. In this configuration, the TC can still share its internal (and external) hard drive and a printer attached to the USB port. However, note that this would disable the TC as a router and an Ethernet switch so basically it will perform as a wireless client.

My BB8830 World Edition Not Connecting to GSM Network

I have a BB8830 World Edition which was working perfectly before but just lost radio connections. It now displays SOS at the network notification area and would never connect to any GSM Network Carrier. I've swapped Sims, used the JL_Cmder to wipe and also restored back to factory setting but problem persisted. Please whatt can I do. I will be very glad to find a solution. Thank you. - Afolabi, Lagos - Nigeria

There is actually a way to verify if your device needs an unlock code.Follow these simple steps...if you get to step 10 and a slot opens up for you to enter an unlock code, you know you need to unlock your phone.If the phone is unlocked already,you get to step 10 and no slot will open up for you to enter an unlock code.Good luck!
1. Ensure the SIM Card thatcame pre-installed in the 9530 is inserted (can also be unlocked with any Sim card)
2. Go to 'Manage Connections'
3. Click on 'Turn All Connections Off'
4. Go to 'Options'
5. Go back to 'Options'
6. Click on 'Advanced Options'
7. Click on 'SIM Card'
8. Type 'MEPD' (letters will not appear on-screen but a menu will pop up)
9. Type 'MEP2' (user will be prompted to enter MEP code)
10. Enter the unlock code (for example '1234567890123456')
11. Reboot device
12. Go to 'Manage Connections'
13. Click on 'Restore Connections'
14. Device is now u

Trouble connecting to wireless network at work

I am having trouble connecting to a wireless network at work. Previously I have been able to connect to it, but today it says I'm connected but won't load any web pages.
In System Preferences under Network Status it says: "AirPort is connected to the network lynksys. AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet."
Any ideas? Thanks!
Becky

beckymagic, Welcome to the discussion area!
Many times this message is received when MAC address filtering has been enabled on the wireless base station. [This is also referred to as an "access list".] I suggest that you talk with the system admin and see if you need to add the MAC address of the AirPort card of your Mac to this list.
