I tried to find BBC Radio 4 and Radio Valencia on iTunes Radio but no success.
Did I miss something? It seems ridiculous that a HomePod cannot be asked to
play such radio stations whether on playlist or directly.
Maybe one day TuneIn Radio will come to HomePod?

It did happen to me once a few years ago. As I recall, I took the sim out,
powered phone off, put a friend’s sim in, powered it back on and it recognised
the sim - so I knew the phone was ok. So I took that sim out, turned the phone
off, put my original sim back in - and it was recognised. No
