Problem with connecting to network

Hi,
I have recently purchased a SIM card. When I use the SIM in Nokia 3310, and try to manually select a particular cell, it says no access. SIM belongs to the same network.
If I insert the same SIM in Blackberry Bold 9780, I am able to manually select the same network and even make phone calls. I have set the Network selection mode in Blackberry to Manual. I have also asked it connect only to 2G networks.
To debug the issue, I connected the Nokia 3310 to my laptop and observed the messages it exchanged with the network. From the messages, I see that Nokia 3310 is getting a TIMSI assigned from the same cell.
But my Nokia 3310 says, No Access.
I also see a "DTAP Radio Resources Management Message Type: Channel Release (0x0d)" message from the Network to the phone.
What does the above message mean ?
Is there any way for me to further debug the issue ?
Thanks and Regards,
RM

Looks like your 3310 has a network lock. Are you sure that your phone is
unlocked? You can test it with 2 different SIM cards for real networks
and confirm that it is OK. DCT3 phones can be easily unlocked via IMEI.

Hi,
The phone is not locked to any network. Its an unlocked phone. I have confirmed that.
