Well like the name implies, I'm a noob. INC2 is my first smartphone, and it's been a learning process, but I'm comfortable with it. Either way, my service is currently cut off(by choice) there is a billing issue, and unless I stop being stubborn or they give my the credit I deserve I'm not paying.
Anyway it's been cut off a month, and I've still been using it over wifi just fine with 2.99 skype calling and text plus it's been no problem. Anyway, I took out the sim card and it's still working fine. Is that normal, even when I tried to make a call it sent me to Verizon cust. service like it normally does, and it still says in service in the settings.I was under the impression, that once the sim card is taken out nothing could be done with the phone. Can Verizon track what I'm doing without the sim card in? Or even when it is in and the GPS is turned off, can they track it?

To expand on that, your SIM isn't required to use the phone in the US on big red's network. CDMA carriers don't use SIM cards; GSM carriers do. The Inc2 is a dual mode/hybrid/whatever you want to call it because it has a CDMA radio for domestic use and a GSM radio for use abroad.
Sent from my DInc2 using XDA App
I hear that Gingerbread has been patched to support RUIM cards (CDMA SIMs) so with the patch you can run a RUIM. Then depending on whether you are on CDMA or GSM select, switch off, put in the corresponding card into the slot and start.
yea pulled mine out a long time ago...but keeping it just incase...
Is it possible for my friend then essentially to take my phone and throw his AT&T Sim in my phone and he is able to use it on there service? Or is there a SIM Unlock for instance when I'm in Thailand and don't want Verizon to charge me $1,000,000.00 just to make phone calls because normally i end up buying a cheap Nokia and SIM for only 50.00 and it lasts me for about 2 days on minutes when im overseas. I pretty much want to be able to use the SIM and not have Verizon charging me for International use when i'm using a different Carrier's SIM

your not referring to this thread are you? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122896 that one is about Driod 2.. I dont see any other Unlock sections. Would you mind posting a link to the correct one because i havent found it
Disregard..
The SIM is for foreign use for most of us in the US. I went to the UK recently, bought a $15 SIM card which gave me a new phone number over there, phone minutes, unlimited text and unlimited data. I got the unlock code from Verizon before I left. I was able to get the unlimited data by having a rooted phone and selecting my own APN settings.
I'll do the same later this year in Italy. Right now I am using a Virtuous Unity ROM which does not recognize SIM cards, but I'll just switch back to my stock Gingerbread ROM before I go.

The network provider has to give you that info. I got it from the company that rented me the European SIM card. I used iPhoneTrip.com, for what it's worth. Good coverage and no sneaky charges after the trip was over.

i bought my SG2 around the time it was released and gave my sim card away because i figured id just keep using the one i had..well, as you all know you need the new sim cards to be able to use wi-fi calling
i called and went to 2 different tmobile stores and they are trying to charge me $20 for it..
i have a new tmobile sim card that my friend gave me from his mytouch4g..the # on the sim is TM9703
can anyone tell me if that one will work? im currently running jug v3.69 which is android 2.3.5 so i dont have the wi-fi calling feature yet..but will upgrade my rom if it works
and if you use wi-fi calling on your SG2 but have a different sim card model please post that one so i can try to look for that one as well

I have the same problem, yet I dont think wifi calling is that useful when it still uses your munutes unless you have unlimited, again, it sounds like pretty cool feature yet its useless, do you really use it or relay on it? Just a personal thought and point of view, theres a couple apps such as viber that use the feature of wifi calling but free, the only thing is that the other user needs viber app, and wifi

I was in a similar situation as you; I called up t-mobile to check and they said it was not. They said my SIM card was not up to date to use Wifi calling feature but they said a t-mobile store would give me a new SIM card for free if the t-mobile rep put it in their system that I had an old SIM card. Basically when you call t-mobile just ask them if you had the new SIM card and if not could the t-mobile rep give you a new one if you did an exchange at the store.
I'm not sure if that's a gba Sim or not but you can get one overnighted for free to you if you call Tmobile, I've heard through other people as well that the stores are starting to charge people for Sim cards even if the notes state issue for free.
As for it still using your minutes , that's just a matter of adding the free wifi calling feature to your account. That's free.

Call in. When prompted why you are calling say, "Cancel my account".
Tell the operator who picks up your story.
They will mail you a free sim card.

False we do not overnight sim cards, sim cards go usps only so no overnight. Also they may or may not give you a sim card if they tell you no its because they don't have to. The only way they have to get you one is if you go show a store that yours is defective its worth a try to call but don't waste your time trying multiple times you may just have to pay for one, or you could try taking that new one you have to a store n telling them customer care sent you the wrong one then maybe they will trade it.

False. I've overnighted all the Sim cards I've replaced for a few weeks now. that'd be the easiest for this guy.
You're welcome.
The one that came with the gs2 is a tm9177 has a pic of a guy and girl either taking a pic of themselves or watching some hilarious video on a phone lol so I don't think the one you have is right because this is the same one that came with my amaze as well. If you go to the store if they don't see an order in your account and tell you that just tell them you ordered it through sales that the Rep told you the ones for prepaid will work and thats what you received. They probably wont but just incase they are that thorough they can't look up orders done through sales only customer care.

Customer care has either standard mail through there shipping method which is free and the 19.99 one which is priority mail which can take 1-3 business days depending on where you are so you are wrong. The only departments that have overnight directly is sales so you are mistaken if you think customer care has overnight or that he would even get it without paying for it, especially due to the fact that there is quite a bit of outsourcers who prefer to have people get mad then go outside of standard policy.

Got mine overnighted from customer care with no problems. They said mine was an old one, and they'd send me a new one, no charge. I did speak with an 'american accent' CSR.
Got it the next day via UPS.

Shows how awesome Tmobile is, can't even get facts straight on a simple Sim card replacement.
Gotta love it.
Hope the OP got an idea on what to do though.
Kind of off topic but wifi calling does not use minutes when you add "free wifi calling" to your account. Essentially you can talk all you want over wifi calling but you have to make sure either you or a csr adds the free wifi calling to your account otherwise they do charge.
Edit: not charge but it uses minutes if you don't have the addon
i think im gonna call them and explain to that i gave my sim away not knowing that it was gonna be needed and see if i can get a free one
if that doesnt work ill just go to the store make up some story about how they shipped me the wrong one (the mytouch4g one that i have) and demand that they swap it for me if they dont want to
thanks for all the suggestions
Yeah they tried charging me twenty bucks and i went off about how their quality of customer service sucks lately and that I never knew it required a "special" sim card for wifi calling. Got one via priority mail for free .
I'm on the verge of buying an S3 but off a friend. I talked to a T-mo rep and she was telling me about buying a Micro-SIM because cutting down the old ones won't work with WiFi calling and I would get signal issues. I'm pretty sure the signal issues don't have anything to do with the SIM card and WiFi calling doesn't appeal to me since I always have full signal in my house. I just want to know if I need to buy a new SIM card or not. Thanks everyone!

Good question if you ask me, does anyone know if it can be done?
Just got to a Tmobile store and ask for a micro sim. THey have them for free, or pm me and I'll send you one.
Then once you have the phone you can either call or go to the store and have them switch your line over to the new sim. If you call, just don't use the phone you are switching the sim from as it will drop the call once they enter the new sim card for your line.
Sim cards are usually free at T-Mobile I heard cutting down old sim cards will give you problems but not exactly sure what.
Just go to the store and ask for a new sim card and they can transfer everything over for you.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
When you go to the tmo store, make sure the card they give you is one that is capable of wifi calling. None of them in my area have the ones that are, you might have to get it from customer service.
I ran into this issue as well. I just figured the SIM from my Galaxy nexus would work with the S3 I purchased through Wirefly.com but it was too big (obviously). As others mentioned, I just went up to the local T-Mobile store and asked for a micro sim card to use with my new phone. They activated one and gave it to me all within 2 minutes of entering the store, free of charge.
I would laugh if T-Mobile tried to charge me for a new SIM card to use with their service. They should provide SIM cards for free, much the same as your bank giving you a replacement debit card at no extra charge since you are using their services.
There lying they just want u to get the "new" Sims that have throttling and tethering detection ... have my sim card from 2005 cut and using it on tmobile. 4g hspa+ no issues wifi calls work..

Before I got my s3, i went to my local t mobile store and told them i need a micro sim card for my new s3. They gave me one without a problem for free. I think in order to get one for free, you must be on a two year contract with t mobile and your account has to be in good standing.
if not try this http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-Mobile-Micro-SIM-Card it should work.
if that does not work, try ebay. if that does not work then just pay your t mobile store.
I am planning on using an upgrade on another line to get this phone. But the problem is that I cannot just swap sim cards because of the micro sim. I would like to activate this micro sim card on my line. I am wondering if t-mobile customer service will have to deactivate my existing sim card in order to activate the micro one.
I would also like to know if there is any other charge from upgrading to this phone at walmart, anything added to the 200 dollars.
EDIT: Damn, i always do this, mods, move this thread to Q and A if you can, thanks.

Hmm that is a good question... what happened with me was, i bought the phone on the street... went into t mobile and asked for a micro sim card. They offered to activate it there, but I said no I'll do it later via 611.
But since you are getting an upgrade from that specific line/phone number I think they will:
What ever line you are upgrading, will be the line that all of the information will be transferred to the micro sim card, making it active.
Swapping phone numbers, I am not sure. Never done that.
When you do the purchase in store tell them not to activate it.. They should be able to work with you
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Well, I've done this before and I dont know if different store operate differently but they have never given me a problem.
1. If there is no rebates involve, they simply activate the phone for line that has the upgrade and renew the contract for that line and activate the phone on ur sim.
2. If there is a rebate with the phone (as there is with the S3) they would need to activate it on the phone number for the upgrade and iirc you now have to make at least one phone call on that line. Then u can ask them to switch that phone to ur sim.
Tmobile agents are generally very knowledgeable, so just tell them what you want to do and they should know how to do it. If a store tells you otherwise, then go to another one.
You can also get a micro SIM to SIM adapter
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Do what I did...activate the sim card through 'my account' online, take your old sim card and punch a hole thru it using a sim cutter, then you can swap back and forth easy peasy
The phone has to be used on the line that has the upgrade.. at least a little..
Also.. are you asking about switching the phone numbers on the account because of the required data plan? Because your answer is no. You cannot use the upgrade on the other line, get the required data plan on that line, and then have them swap the phone numbers so your phone number is now on the one with the required data. ( it sounded like that was what you were asking )

Yes t mobile can block the imei if the phone has been stolen or not paid for completely and the person stopped paying installments on it they can block the imei. But no this does not mean you can use it on att unless you unlock it or flash as people call it

I had a similar problem with my old Galaxy S2 and it turned out to be a bad Sim card slot. You should go to a nearby cell phone store and have them check it. It usually costs around $30 dollars to fix. You can also check if its a bad sim card by inserting it on a different phone and see if it gives you the same error.
Honestly tmobile would of helped more if you bought it from them. While yeah it might be a simple sim lot issue or maybe your putting it the wrong way who knows lol. By guess would be you bought it from a person and they messed it up then try to sale it to you, but really if it was from a store just get it replaced.
