TPG SIM not working in Galaxy A33

I have a new Samsung Galaxy A33 5G. My wife bought 2 of them in Malaysia.

When I put my TPG SIM in the phone I get a message "SIM 1 not provisioned".

When I look for "Network operators" I get the message "Error while searching for networks"

When I put my wife's Optus SIM in the phone everything works.

When I put my TPG SIM back into my old phone everything works.

The network mode is LTE/3G/2G (auto connect).

I seleted the Network mode 5G/LTE/3G/2G (auto connect).

When I scan for Network operators I get 3 available networks:

    Virgin - Unable to connect. Try Later

    Telstra Mobile - Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network

    Vodafone AU - Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network

After more testing I have noticed that my old phone still accepts calls even though it has no SIM. I tried restarting and a power off, but it still rings when called.

 

IGNORE THE ABOVE!!! Smiley Frustrated

My J7 has the capability for 2 SIM's and I was using the dead overseas SIM, not realising it was there.

So my TPG SIM was still in the phone - hence it would ring, and the old SIM would not work in the A33.

It is all working now. Smiley LOL
