it may be set to 900/1800 only...
it needs to be auto or 850/1900
From the stand by screen, press the Menu key.
Scroll to "Settings", then press Select.
Scroll to "Network", then press Select.
Scroll to "Network Setup", then press Select.
With "Band" highlighted, then press Change.
Scroll to "Automatic, 850/1900 or 900/1800", then press Select.
Select Done.
The device will search for all available networks.

So I think I it is my sim. I have tested 2 sims for two different phone companies. so I called my provider and they gave me a credit to pay for a new sim. Hopefully it works I will keep in touch as so to give you an aswer in case some else has this problem.
