Tip 1-Put in the SIM this way to get recognized: Place the SIM in plastic side up/metal contacts down with the diagonal in the upper right corner, then slide the metal bracket slightly to the right to physically lock the SIM in (you will hear and/or feel a click) I had to use a tiny flat screwdriver(for glasses or phone tool) on the middle of the 3 holes to get enough force to click it into place. See pictures-tiny screwdriver not included.
Tip 2-Power On: 2nd button down on the right side of the keypad. Hold it down and count for 5-10 seconds until you see "Nokia" light up. Power Off: Unlock, *(asterisk), then same button and hold as Power On. (See pictures)
Pros: The phone worked on both AT&T and T-Mobile in the Chicago, IL area of the USA. It is lightweight and is just like the old Nokia phones of the past, but also updated to 4G for US compatibility(2021). It was priced low enough and also has Bluetooth to use my existing number/provider for calls in my car while I am testing the other provider's internet from my smartphone.
Cons: I wasted a lot of time before figuring out the above 2 tips.
My story: After an hour or more of trying and rebooting, I honestly thought my SIM was incompatible or that the phone wasn't unlocked to work with that provider and had spent an hour or more each, one evening and the following morning, before trying the other provider's SIM. It was then, with a bright light shining a specific direction before seeing the instructions printed on top of the SIM locking mechanism. Afterward, I was able to get both provider's SIMs to work easily. See pictures-tiny screwdriver not included.
I also had intermittent trouble getting it to turn On or Off before remembering my old Nokia bar and flip phones from 15+ years ago and that the button has to be Held Down for at least a full+ 5 seconds before it powers up-See pictures.
Its been so long since I've worked with a sliding metal plate to lock down a SIM, and can easily see why other reviewers thought their loose SIM or non-existent service was the fault of a bad phone.
Hopefully, the above 2 tips and pictures will help you, as they are either missing or not clear enough in the included paper instructions.

I can't figure out how to make the notification icons up top go away. It's annoying to have to unlock by pressing the star button every time. I haven't found a way to adjust the font size. There's no buttons on the side so you have to go in to the settings and manually turn the volume down. Getting this phone to work is by no means intuitive. In fact, my husband and I (we're both avid dumbphone users) are both having to research how to use this phone. It's not like we're elderly either. He's 29 and I'm 27.
We've talked about getting rid of our cell phones and just using a landline. It's looking like we might just do that soon since you can't find a dumbphone anymore.
EDIT 12/15/2023
This phone is the absolute WORST. My husband and I have both had problems making and receiving calls (he has this phone too). Not only that, but the time stamps on my texts are all goofed up. If I send someone a text at 9:05 their response will come in with a time stamp that's an hour earlier which goofs up the order of the conversations and makes it difficult to follow. After months of this, I can't take it anymore. I'm getting a new phone. My last dumbphone lasted two years. This one has barely made it six months if that.
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.
I recommend!
