Sounds like a network fault. Have you raised contacted customer services ?

the sim works fine in my other phone

I have the same problem too. My sim-unlocked Tanager from Smart Philippines does not log on to any network upon turning on. I've been using the phone (with Qtek 7070 ROM) for over a year now (with a Globe SIM card that works on other phones) with no problems, then suddenly this.

I tried searching for networks and selecting new networks, but nothing works. It just says "Network Denied, Searching" or "No Service." Even if I try the SIM card from Smart, the phone still won't log on.

However, if I leave it alone for 10 minutes, it does log on to the network. For a very short while, I could send a text and even make a short call. Then the phone appears to still be connected to the network, but if you send it a text message, nothing comes in. And if you try to call it, you get "subscriber cannot be reached." Switching the phone on and off won't solve any problems - the phone still says "Network Denied, Searching" or "No Service."

I brought it to Brightpoint (authorised service center). They tried a hard reset. Nothing. They tried upgrading the Qtek ROM to the latest from the Smart Network (version 1.7). Phone still won't log on to any network. Still displays "Network Denied, Searching" or "No Service." Finally they said the main circuit board needs to be changed, and that would cost me roughly US$300. Whoa!

Would moving to Orange's 1.6 ROM solve the problem? Or do I need a new Tanager?
