Check if your device's IMEI is nulled
0(1)0(0)If your device's IMEI number becomes nulled or corrupt for some reason, you might experience network connectivity issues. Open your device's dialer and type *#06#. If you don't get the IMEI number, which is a 15-digit number, but you get Null instead, there is something wrong with the IMEI.
If you are not sure how to fix this issue, I suggest you to ask a friend, or take your device to a repair store. Also, I advise you to check this useful article which shows the users how to resolve the IMEI issue, on Technobezz.
Note: See the don't know how to find my device's model number guide if you can't read the IMEI and you followed the above-mentioned instructions.
