I'm a new member, I bought a package for 10 pounds, it shows me that I have 4 gigabytes of Internet, 100 minutes and unlimited SMS, but the mobile Internet does not work and SMS is not sent, it is the same on another phone, and when I put another SIM card everything works.

@Innulya : Do you have credit on it or an active Pack or Add-on?

What does texting AL to 150 from it fully report verbatim (it is free)?

i have had a look  and  found some step  you can try  

 

TURN-OFF Mi Messaging on your phone. This can be done by (while in Messaging) long press menu button to enter Message Settings (Figure 1) then toggle the Mi Message to OFF (Figure 2). Downside here is you won't be able to use Mi Messaging which is pretty useful for texting friends free of charge. (that is if their connected to the internet and use MIUI too.)

good luck  i hope if you  get  fix    keep me up dated  with your progress  my  friend!!

[Tips] [MIUI Device Team] How to solve "Your SIM card is not activated"

 

New phone, new SIM card. We open our phone and go through the motion of setting it up and turning on Mi Messaging and then when we get to the home screen, what do we see? Immediately we get the "Could not activate SIM card" notification. It's frustrating because it keeps notifying us without actually saying what its for or how to solve it right?
So what is this error? The error is due to your SIM card trying to send a message to Xiaomi to verify your SIM card number and activate your Mi Messaging. This has nothing to do with your network connection. Since most of us use prepaid SIM and normally dont have enough balance to send SMS abroad, the SMS fails.

good luck and hopefully  this page will help you  out   all the  best
