I bought a Milestone a couple weeks ago without a SIM card. I was able to unlock it and root it soon after and I have been very happy with this as a wifi enabled PDA. I just got a Bell SIM card and when I put it into my Milestone it can detect the phone number from the SIM but I canot make any calls or find any networks.
When I try to make a call it says "Not registered on network"
In Settings->Wireless & Network Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators when I choose "Search Networks" I get "Error while searching for networks"
How can I troubleshoot to find out what the problem is? How can I find our it it is the SIM card that is a problem vs my phone vs rooting vs others?
I found some threads that rooting disabled 3G but I can't use the phone at all. On another forum (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/mo...one-stopped-connect-network-after-rooting.htm) I found someone who also lost all cell phone use after rooting. He managed to solve it after installing a "SBF downloaded from motorola_milestone:sbf [And Developers]" but did not give any instructions on just what he did.
thanks
