somehow...my gnxs no longer plays nice with att sms-outbound. after an hour with att help desk i got nowhere. they want i reset smsc # but i can't find where ics has the setting buried. when running *#*#4636#*#* it is clearly missing the number but i guess i'm incapable of getting the number to stick. i'm told to set the att sms call through # to 13123149810.
funny that since day one running my existing sim in the phone i have been sending texts no problem. do not know if related but bounce-back sms started after i flashed a new bake of Ir4 and also loaded up Widgetsoid2.x over the last 12-hours or so
any suggestions?
Put your sim back in your previous phone that AT&T saw you have last. like when this happened to me the last phone they knew I had was a iPhone 3G... since I bought the N1 outright and then went to the Nexus S and then f'ed up the settings on my own... I placed my sim card back into my iPhone 3G since i still had it and sent a test message and got a message back and then went back and put my sim back into my Nexus S at the time and I was fine again... f'ed up a little but it worked... try that...

good solution. worked. fired up an old Tilt 2 and re-set smsc # which provisioned the att server and then replaced sim in gnxs and i can send sms again. it is amazing that att level 2 android help desk couldn't figure this out. thanks!
It seems that the Glide is only an AT&T-branded phone. Has anyone used one with GoPhone? Thought about picking up an unlocked one on eBay but I don't want to encounter the same "Invalid SIM card" issue I encounter when I put my GoPhone SIM card into my unlocked AT&T-sourced Skyrocket. Thanks for any info!
I can't say for certain, but I don't see why not. I use my phone with the T-Mobile monthly 4g plan and everything works fine. I do however, only have an EDGE/2g speed data wise due to the frequencies, but the phone was designed for AT&T so that wouldn't be a problem for you.

Appreciate the reply, narume. I think that the issue arises from this:

Let me know if you ever get that working.
What i THINK is that any phone that comes out of AT&T's clutches are in their system (both imei and with carrier iq) so once it you pop a sim into it and the information is matched to a device in their system they know what can and can't be allowed for the device. With international devices they don't have those IMEIs (which is why they always want the imei from you so they can match it in their system)
Your note is international...they can't "match or track it" so to their system it's just another random dumb phone
Your skyrocket is a known LTE/HSPA+ device to the system so it says no cheap data for you

So...assuming that this reasoning is correct, if AT&T knows that it's their phone they will have blocked its IMEI from being able to access data through GoPhone. And I would need 3G access in order to use it on my MicroCell. Anybody...?
Any at&t phones will work on go phone, and you can use a microcell as well, your phone still uses the 3/4G signal to connect for calls and texts. Also to get data to work for pictures, and mms you just need to call them and they will send you the apns, my nephew in law has an atrix 2 on a microcell with pic messaging working great. They also have a solstice 2 (dump phone) on the microcell, both go phones.

If you're getting Invalid SIM, you may have a locked SIM card, something AT&T started doing with their prepaid a while back. New prepaid accounts have the SIM locked to the phone it was purchased with for ~3 months, after that I believe you have to either call or visit a store to have the lock removed.
Other than that, there's no reason it shouldn't work, but do remember that AT&T will see it as a smartphone. This means with their new prepaid plans, if you're using the 10 cents a minute plan you'll be unable to use data at all. If you're using one of the flat amounts per month, like the $25 or $50 plans, you'll need to purchase a data package (even though the $50 is SUPPOSED to include unlimited internet, smartphones aren't eligible).
I previously used a Motorola Flipside on AT&T's prepaid, before this change I was using the 10 cents a minute plan, with 1000 texts a month and buying a 500mb data package, then rolling over unused data each month with the 10mb package, and everything worked the same as if I was on postpaid - text, mms, internet, etc.
Thanks all! I'm 1½ months into my prepaid service. I'll check with AT&T after 3 months have passed and see if they can remove the SIM lock.
You might go ahead and call customer service anyway, who knows, you may get lucky. 3 months was what a rep told my friend a year or so ago, but that may have changed or may not have been the rule at all. Alternatively, you can go into a local store and purchase a new sim (or purchase one on ebay) and have them transfer your account over to it, just make sure they give you a regular sim and not a go-phone sim.
I just tested my captivate glide with the sim I was using in my flipside. It seems to read the sim just fine, though obviously I'm not still a prepaid customer so I can't make any real calls with it. I've also used it on a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G that was unlocked, briefly, when I was working on the flipside. Once you have the sim lock removed I expect you'll have no problems using it in any unlocked or AT&T locked phone.
If you use the 50 dollar plan and use the wap.cingular apn it will use data just set that up before you put in your sim, and do call they should unlock it for you, if not tell them you will be going to straight Talk at&t phones work locked on them since it's a part of at&t just ran by walmart.

I have two Glides that I activated in June. NEITHER WAS SIM-LOCKED, ever.
Both are the newer 4G SIM, not the older one that says 3G on it. Got em from eBay for about $2.75 each. Both were activated online, about 3 weeks apart.
The first one, I activated with an IMEI of a Glide that broke and was able to use the SIM on a different Glide and other phones, even the Pantech Burst and got 4G. I activated it as 10c plan, then moved it to the $50 unlimited.
The second one was activated with 0000... generic IMEI with the 10c plan, and just like the first one, I was able to use the SIM on any GSM phone I have in the house (and that's quite a few).
APN: wap.cingular - only the name is needed, no userid, etc.
Just thought I would post this for anyone who got same error message-- I've been getting a same error message for weeks, since I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 on my T-Mobile Monthly 4G prepaid plan. I was using a Motorola Atrix 4G, with standard sized SIM card, & working perfectly (including WIFI calling) when I recently decided to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S3, only then did I discover that it required the MICRO SIM card, & subsequently learned how to & successfully cut the SIM card into the MICRO sized one, & inserted into the S3 with no problem-- it allowed the phone to boot & recognize my T-Mobile account instantly-- until I went into the settings for "WIFI calling" when it started giving me the "ER05" error. I just got around to ordering a new MICRO SIM card from T-Mobile this week, and after receiving it yesterday, I went on my T-Mobile support site, and launched a chat window for support (why talk when you can type, esp when having to give sets of 20-digit SIM card numbers etc?), and it worked perfectly-- I now enjoy the pretty little blue icon in my notification bar that my WIFI calling feature is now functional!
I recently damaged my nexus. I activated a droid1 temporarily. I received a replacement from asurion. Activating was done online. I was sent a brand new sim card. I remember specifically in 2011 when i got the gnex brand new, I was having issues with it. So i reactivated my old phone (droid 2) . Well when I was troubleshooting the device I was informed any time you switch from a 3g device you cannot go back to that sim card it is bad. Yet I was just able to switch from a droid1 to my new gnex with my old sim card, from activating online. Weird huh?
Also weird, upon reactivating my data package received a discount and I am not the primary line.
Any input would be appreciated.
Also, I thought this time I would be running stock, not unlocking or rooting. But its already been 5 minutes and I cant even download skype for ****** sake....
Well good sir, a few months ago, Verizon got tired of shelling out for new SIM cards every time someone went from 3G back to 4G... So despite what it says you can reactivate an old SIM card.

Has anyone had this problem? I put my friend's tmobile sim in and his data worked perfectly fine on my phone and I put my sim in his Iphone 4 and the data worked. On the mytmobile app it says my data plan isn't compatible with my phone. Called t-mobile and were on the phone for them for an hour and all they did was file a problem to their "engineers" and said they'd get back at me in three days. This has happened since they changed my grandfathered plan from 200mb for $10 to 5gb for $5.
Never rooted and bought it used unlocked. Never tried an att sim in it though.
