Solutions to BSNL Sim Card No Service
1. Aeroplane Mode
Whenever you get into such network issues the first thing which can easily fix this is turning on Aeroplane mode for about 20 seconds. This resolves some sort of network issues easily.
2. Set Preferred network type
Sometimes when you update or do changes related to your device default sim settings get disturbed. Preferred network type settings may get disturbed anytime which may result in BSNL sim no service.
To solve this particular issue you can check & update your preferred network settings by following the steps given below:
Open Settings -> Go to SIM networks -> Open Preferred network type -> Select 4G/Prefer LTE.
Generally, you have three options in the Preferred network settings in most devices which is 2G, 3G or 4G. If you are in remote areas you may not get a 4G network so in this situation, you can select a 3G or 2G by using this option which generally works to get a 3G network by which you can at least call.
3. Free space
Move to the open area, the walls and the insulation can block signals from nearby mobile network towers and prevent your phone from communicating with it effectively. Move to an open area where you can increase the strength of the signal reaching your phone.
4. Remove the Sim card and insert it again
Sometimes when you drop your smartphone sim card may get damaged or dislocated from its position hence, try to remove your sim and then again try to insert it properly.
If it didn’t work then try to insert the BSNL sim to another slot of your phone. When you remove the sim also try to clean with a dry cloth.
5. Automatically Select Network:
There are two ways to connect your sim to your network operator the first one is Automatically select the network and the second way is to choose the network manually.
When you have selected the network manually it causes many problems, so you should always choose the option “Automatically Select network”.
To choose the mobile network automatically follow these steps:
- Go to Phone Settings
- Open “Sim cards & Mobile networks“.
- Choose BSNL.
- Go to “Mobile networks”
- Turn on the Automatically select network option.
6. Insert sim to another phone.
Some users have reported that my BSNL sim not working on my phone but it works on another device. So you can try to do it alike. So just remove the BSNL sim and insert it into another phone. If it is urgent then you can try this solution. If you didn’t want to operate your sim from another phone then you can try the next one.
7. Get a new sim
If you think that your sim card is corrupted and it is not working anymore then you can go to your nearest BSNL service centre and ask them for a new sim for the same number. They will give you a new sim hardly in 10 minutes.
