no internet connection

since this morning i dont have any mobile connection. I am able to register to t-mobile in the settings and it says metro by t-mobile at the home screen but no matter what i do i can't seem to get a connection.

i tried to reset my connection settings format my phone (kinda wish i didn't do that now lol) leave my phone off for 5 minutes took the sim card out for 30 seconds (i didn't touch the sim card so im not sure if it just go dislodged cause i do remember it coming out of my pocket while sitting on my chair)

i dont know why but i dont like calling t-mobile but i do have a metropcs store near me so i could always go there tommorow but i want to avoid it if i can
