Default [Q] 3g issues

Im having trouble connecting to 3g.
My Xplay connects to H network fine, but when that drops out it only connects to 2g.
When i manually try to select 3g im given a pop up 'your sim card doesn't allow a connection to that network'.
Ive phoned my provider & they say it's not sim related & there's no problem with the network.

Any suggestions?

Most likely a frequency incompatibility. Not sure what H is, but check the gsm frequencies from the SE website and compare it with the 3G/HSPA frequencies your carrier runs on.
