Hi Nick,

You could try to put the FR SIM in a known good working phone and see if 
that one does register.
If not, then either the SIM is dead, or no longer registered with the 
provider.
And then you could put the SIM from the working phone in the FR to see 
if that fixes the problem.

Kind regards,
Ed
