Which bit?
It may be a problem because you're using a smart phone
Which WM version are you using?
Dave
wait i have another sim card, but its not active with another company of anykind, i put it in, and it says theres no sim card, does that mean its still locked?

Hello,
just out of the blue my phone can't make any calls or texts. It keeps failing on either of those two, occasionally, I could get one text or call to go through and then it stops working again. I checked and there was full signal at the time, IMEI is still there. I flashed leaked jb roms and cm10 and they both have problems. But the sim when inserted into my unlocked one x works just fine. Does anybody know how I can fix this problem?
Thanks,

depends does it read other sims but not yours? does it not read any sims at all? you can break it down from there.
Ive figured out that this phone I bought has been locked. Its for tmobile, and I have tmobile, but when I enter my sim card it doesnt read it. When I enter my sim card into my old phone it reads it fine. Ive read and read and read, and cant find a website trustworthy to unlock this phone. I dont need it for free, I just want it to work. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
How old is your SIM card?

All you have to do is call tmobile and have them register the card to that phone.

Where did you get the phone? Maybe it was stolen and the IMEI is blocked.

If you flash a gb rom and it doesn't prompt for code with differemt simcard besides tmobile and just says not registered to network then you are already unlocked . That's how mine is .

If the IMEI is blocked I don't know if there is anything you can do. Ask T-mobile if it is blocked and if it is you should contact eBay.
Im new to this phone
So the original carrier is Claro PR. I have succesfully unlocked the phone cause im using AT&T SIM on it and it has signal and all but it wont make/recieve calls, nor text and wont go on the internet.
Anyone have had this happen before on unlocked phone? I was thinking on rootinh it and throwing a AT&T rom to see if it fixes it but im asking first before trying anything that can brick it
Did you unlock it using the free method or by a code?
For data, did you check the APN settings? Under network preferences, did you select auto? Are you sure the SIM is registered on the network?

I'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work even though it gets a signal. Maybe something is screwed up in the service menu settings.

well talked to a buddy of mine he works for att he said the iphone brings a sim card already inserted that it maybe be that since supposly some iphone use special sim in order to sctivate the phone.
He told me to pass tomorrow to his store to check it out guess that my last chance since with my wife SIM it does the same signal and all but no calls or text >_> annoying
Well be happy sounds like the Sim which is really cheep if not free to get

OK- I got my Verizon Pixel XL 128 in today at lunch. I set it on the charger, and haven't turned it on yet. I wanted to see what was going on with the Forums before I did. I do have a spare TMobile Sim I can use. I also still have my 3rd version of the Note 7 (That hasn't even gotten the slightest bit hot)... so I am not in a hurry to activate the Pixel XL 128.
If you give me directions, I will perform whatever steps you'd like and report back. If you'd like message me... I can provide my cell and we can talk through it-
Thanx-
