Just bought the phone, put in sim card and it cannot find network

Just bought the phone and I put in the sim card and it won't find a network. I use cingular and live in OKC, OK. I am not understanding why this phone is not working? I did not buy it with cingular, it is an unlocked phone. Everything else works, contacts come up no problem, just will not find network. Any idea's?

I bought a unlock code for my lg gt365 neon and i put a tracfone sim card in it and it says emergency calls only how do i fix it so i can use a tracfone sim card.

First you need to unlock your phone before you put tracfone sim card on that phone. Make sure you have appropriate LG neon GT365 unlock code example : if your old sim card using t-mobile you must use t-mobile unlock code for your phone not tracfone. You can get lg unlock code from online seller with lower price and quick turnaround.

My phone keeps saying invalid u sim on every sim i put in it on 3 and wont pick up any network

Is this a new phone? If so, make sure you are putting the sim card in the correct way (some phones are tricky). If you are attempting to add a sim card from a different network than what the phone is registered through, it often won't work unless you jailbreak it (a whole different solution). This is not legal, and often won't give you full capability of the phone. Finally, if you think it is a problem with the sim card, it might be rusty or dirty. Try lightly cleaning it with a soft eraser from a pencil. Good luck!

I bought a new AT&T Go Phone and put my old at&t sim card in it and it worked for three days. Now I get a sim card not provisioned mm#2 message.

Maybe you need to unlock your phone network with lg neon gt365 unlock code for at&t network. This code can reset your phone network to default factory setting so you can easily change your sim card with other sim card even form other network provider. To get lg unlock code you can purchase at third party sites on internet.
