New Freerunner, factory image - "Registering..."

[Greg Bonett]

Although I'm still having trouble getting this SIM card to work but I
think it's doable.  It actually registered last night and I was able to
make and receive a phone call.  After a reboot it went back to
"Registering...."

It sounds like the "contacts lining up" issue is not the problem. I think
its lining up correctly.
