What phone are you using?

Hi

 

I have a new plusnet SIM and would not work on my Moto E3. The plusnet SIM works fine in my Moto E (1st Generation) phone. I have given back the Moto E3 as after trying everything just could not get the plusnet SIM to work. I know don't know if the actual Moto E3 I had was faulty or if it is the phone make in general. I don't want to get the same phone again only to have the same problem. Therefore what other makes of phone are people using that works with the plusnet SIM?

Perfect custos.

I really liked the Moto E3 so would love to buy again if I knew it was just a "bad" phone.

Was the Moto E3 locked to another network?

where did you get it from?

Re: What phone are you using?

Both phones were bought from Argos as unlocked and seem to work fine on any Network. Currently the E is on Three and the G is on GiffGaff (02). Some 'unlocked' phones bought on-line were originally locked and seem to still have some settings burnt into them that can make getting the correct APN set up difficult.

My Moto 3 was from Argos and was advertised as unlocked. EE SIM worked in it but plusnet SIM didn't.

@JS1
If you originally had an EE SIM in the phone, it may have automatically put some settings into the phone - these may need changing for the Plusnet SIM to work properly .... e.g. I needed to add a new APN on my phone to get 4G to work after it had had an EE SIM in it.
