Are you able to make and receive calls? If not, perhaps the sim isn't touching all the phone's connections.
At least, that's the problem I had when I tried to connect to AT&T. It would show that I had 5 bars, but it would always say "Registering...". I was able to wiggle the sim a little, reboot the phone, and have it properly connect to the ATT network (i.e., it changed from "Registering..." to "AT&T" and I was able to make/receive calls and text messages).
