I have a TN Ty II that was locked to the Orange UK network. I succesfully unlocked it and it has been working fine on T-Mobile(Virgin) PAYG for about 4 months. Now it will not receive or make calls, but signal on T-Mobile is fine, connects to the netork, no problem. If I insert an Orange PAYG Sim the phone works fine (In/Out). Virgin have said that maybe my number is "Black Listed" and that they would send me a new SimCard with the same number!! Seems strange if my number is BlackListed. My question is When a network provider provides a customer with a phone do they log the phones IMS number? Could they then stop that phone working on other networks, or request that other networks block the phone with that IMS?
Any help appreciated.

Problem sorted was sold black listed phone. Claim made through papal to seller and being returned.
Just as the title says, the phone was working fine then suddenly it lost all signal and went into some kind of restricted mode, it's a friend's phone and he is almost 84 years old.
I have flashed the latest firmware and factory reset to no avail, also changed sim cards and here comes the weird behavior:
I don't have a standard-sized sim card so I had to take it from my USB LTE Modem, it's from another carrier and the phone detected the sim card, went with a full -77db HSDPA signal but data doesn't work at all, it seems to be disabled on status, even configuring the proper APNs it refuses to work. Can't test voice and all my other working sim cards are nano.
Inserting any other sim from another carrier results in no signal/restricted access but the phone still downloads the Internet/MMS configuration.
Have tried setting it manually to WCDMA and GSM, nothing seems to work, only my data sim worked so far *without the data*.
Maybe the IMEI is banned for some reason?
Never heard of this issue until now
Have you tried to flash a firmware that aren't from any carrier?

Yes I did, flashed the USA unbranded kitkat rom.
Just got the chance to test with two sim cards from different carriers:
Carrier #1: Registered on network, no data traffic, voice call drops just after trying to call, signal ok
Carrier #2: Registered on network, data traffic seems ok but can't navigate, shows H+ and proper APN and traffic arrows activity but when you try a call it says "Mobile Network Not Available"
Can't send SMS, they stick with a "Sending" status and wont get past it.
This phone was purchased unlocked without a contract, can't see how the IMEI could be banned, plus we do not have regularization for IMEI ban in my country, it's currently a mess.
On a side note it does not detect the sim's phone number which it does on any other phone.
Maybe it's some hardware related issue?

Well that's interesting
My phone can't detect my Sim's phone number either (though i don't know If it is only for me)
Have you tried to flash a ROM? (from XDA)

The sim number information depends on the sim itself, most carriers register this information within the simcard so when you go to status you may retrieve your own phone number but I have seen sim cards without this info. The sim cards I tested do have this information and were available on a Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z1 but this E1 fails to read this information which kinda indicates a problem. I don't remember the codes for debugging the sim and network info or I'd give that a shoot.
I will try a custom rom, maybe a different kernel and see if the behavior changes any bit.
I am bidding on a Z1 Compact for this friend, should be a proper replacement and a hell of an upgrade, just concerned about E1's loudness which is certainly superior.
Interesting, I also get this if I don't reboot my phone after like 5 days.
So I have my Verizon sim in tray 1 & my T-Mobile sim in tray 2. What I am trying to do is have the data push through the T-Mobile sim but still maintain calls and text coming in from Verizon sim. When I set Dial to sim 1 & Internet to sim 2 in the options it just shuts down the Verizon sim completely. What am I missing? Is what am trying to do not possible?
20 views and nada, come on someone has to have some input they can provide me lol
So I finally got the phone to keep both sims registered to their networks and my calls and sms work with it set to my Verizon sim but I can't get the data to push through on the T-Mobile sim!!!!! AHHHHHH
I think the Mi MIx only has 1 4G radio? So that if both SIM cards require 4G connection, only 1 can be connected at one time
I understand, this is exactly why I wanted this phone too! Where did you buy yours and how long till you received it?
No voice calls.

Can you tell me what you did? I have data and sms going through fine but no calls.
Thank you.
Has any one resolved this issue?
I recently got a VZW SIM card, and everything works when it's the only SIM in the Mi MIX...but if I also put in my Project Fi SIM...I cannot send SMS via my Project Fi SIM--which carriers my main number...even though MMS also works on my Verizon SIM card......
Phone works fine with a particular network (Vodafone). When I insert a sim card from a different network, there is no reception and it says emergency calls only. However, it does not ask for an unlock code so I don't know if the phone is actually locked and how to input the network unlock code.
I purchased my Mate 20 X 5G from Vodafone UK and it works with other network SIMs. Vodafone don't lock their phones to their network.

My P30 Pro was initially working with my Three sim. Then, after a couple of months, it randomly stopped working and said emergency calls only at the top of the screen. I tried the Three sim in another phone and it was working fine but wouldn't work in my P30 Pro. Only Vodafone sims now work in it. However, I'm not entirely sure it's blocked to other networks because when I insert my three SIM, it doesn't prompt me for a network unlock code.
Hello all. I have an o2 sim in sim slot 1, and an EE sim in sim slot 2. If someone calls me on my o2 sim, it shows me their phone number without an issue. However if someone calls my EE sim, it just shows private number. I have tried swapping the sims over but it doesn't make a difference unfortunately. Someone on another forum directed me here for help. Any help would be much appreciated!
Does this happens with the same person calling you?
That person calls your o2 SIM and him/her number shows, but if THE SAME person calls you to the EE SIM it shows as private number???
Is this what is happening?? Really?
Seems a weird thing to be a matter of the phone itself, but i might be wrong.....
Yes that is what happens

And if anyone else using that carrier EE it shows as private number?
It doesn't matter what network they are on, all calls show as private number
