Solid red bars does indicate the device is unable to connect and is often caused as you have found by it being unable to read the SIM. So it is always worth checking it is inserted properly and if that doesn't solve it the best thing is to contact us so we can check the SIM is registered.<BR /><BR />Alex</P> Sun, 11 Jan 2026 08:40:00 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Devices/HybridConnect-solid-red-bars/m-p/2452540#M34322 Alex_H 2026-01-11T08:40:00Z
