Go to this website www.i9forum.co.uk register and check the forum out for a solution, I've had a quick look but its mainly about mms & gprs. If this is what your after the settings the instructions are there on how to set it up.
I'm with Telstra 3g and have the new sciphone i9 3gs and it works great.

Hi,the problem is obviously from the network settings on the sciphone,here is a solution,

1,Try to re-insert the sim card in the phone.

2,Go to the mobile connections on your sciphone and ensure the radio(service) connection is switched on.

3.If after these steps,the problem persists,then it seems your sciphone has a network problem which can only be fixed by a mobile phone engineer.

Take care

For I9 support visit to following website: http://www.i9forum.co.uk/. You will have to register to access the site. For your sim card turn it over. It should face up in the bottom bracket and down if you are inserting it into the top bracket. I hope this helps.

When the phone doesn't have any SIM card in, it should read Emergency in the desktop. If it say no service, it either have very poor reception or the phone have a hardware failure.

I guess your phone has not been unlocked yet. Unlocked phones do not have any specific carrier software and work with all GSM carriers. These include T-Mobile, Cingular and AAAA . Multi-band unlocked phones also will work with carriers in other countries.So I guess you need to unlock your phone so that u can enjoy in your country.

may be sim holder slot problem. clean it by thinner. then u can try

Ask chinamanuals.com

the phone would need to be a tri or quad band phone the network may not be supported on those clone phones.
