I'm pretty sure the phone is properly unlocked and i put my sim card in and activated it on my cell phone plan and no matter where I go (places where on other phones i get great coverage) i get no signal. Is this an issue with the phone, the carrier, unlocking, or just a bad antenna? what do i do to fix the problem? would i just be better off buying another one since i may have a faulty handset?

The 2000 Nokia 3310 only has support for 2G bands GSM 900/1800MHz. There is no 3G support.
AT&T has shut down all 2G towers.
Make sure your carrier supports 2G 900/1800 GSM.
The phone will definitely not work on Verizon and Sprint.

I am on MetroPCS which I believe is owned by T-Mobile and I thought i heard somewhere that MetroPCS uses their cell towers.
@ncook MetroPCS is own and operated by T-Mobile. Correct. They only support the 1900mhz frequency. So your phone does not support T-Mobile.

If you really like the Nokia 3310, they are making it again. The new one supports T-Mobile/MetroPCS and has a built in FM Radio. The screen is also in color :-)
ok thank you
just out of curiosity is there any carrier that still does support the OG 3310?
Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_freque...
Note that due to basic physics, lower frequencies (850mhz/900mhz) travel farther, so those are the frequencies that are used most.
well if the OG 3310 has a 900mhz band and 900mhz is used the most why doesn't it work
Because the Nokia 3310 runs on 3G service and they took down those towers a long time ago

Really not true. The 3310 3G remaster did, but this version runs on 2G TDMA, which is still available although not to new subscribers, sadly.

Hi @ncook ,
Do you mean the Nokia 3310 (2017) model or the original 3310?
Have you selected the correct SIM slot for making connections?

i am talking about the original nokia 3310 that came out in 2000

@ncook
im not sure this'll be correct but the carrier you are on may or may have not switched off 2G services so that may be it.
