try the following:

* turn off phone, eject sim tray, take out your sim card and try placing it again into the tray and place it back into the phone
* try a different sim card of another operator
* are you using nano sim to micro sim adapter? these have been known to cause issues

i contacted with nokia care center in bangladesh, they told me that the phn is kind of operator locked.they claimed 6500 bdt to solve the case. is it reliable?

when you put in your Bangladesh sim card, does the phone ask for an unlock code?

EDIT: in the first post you mentioned that you had used the phone for a few days, I can't see how the phone is carrier locked if you were able to use it before

Then it is not locked to any carrier. The issue may be hardware related; maybe a faulty sim reader?

This was common with other WP devices too. They say add a small piece of tape to the SIM card and it should be ok. Hope it helps.

How are the printlayers of your sim ? Try to rub them a little up. And how does it fit, is it tight or loose?
It needs a tight fit.

Just come in to mind...
Do you use a original sim or one who is cut?

Most of the time this is a problem with the SIM card itself. Replacing it with a new one most often resolves the issue. I had to replace the SIM card on a 920 once but it's not a specific issue to the 920 or WP devices in general. You need to either test a different SIM card in your phone or your SIM card in a different phone.

@maaz mansori
Yes it mostly does.
Had the same with my sim.
Worked for years, than i started to use Nokia and because of that i had to cut my sim.
Worked great until a sudden moment i got issues, maybe a month or two months later....
I changed it for a new one and the troubles where over.
