Hello everyone.. I've got a bit of a problem here.. I bought an At&t gophone (the pantech 7040p, which is a 3g phone, but not a smartphone) with the unlimited everything plan
I tried putting the Gophone sim into an unlocked Samsung Focus and it did not recognize it? I then read somewhere that you are never supposed to put the sim in the Gophone to begin with..
So is there anything I can do to make this work? Is it possible to change the IMEI # on the SIM?
Update.. I called At&t and they unlocked the SIM, so now I can use it on my Focus..
Only thing that isn't working is data, even though both phones are 3g.. Is there any way for me to manually put that information in and get it to work? Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if it was working

I was thinking about switching from T-mobile to Straight Talk. I was just wondering if anyone knew if you have to buy a Straight Talk sim card, which I believe is just a normal T-Mobile Sim card, or if I could just use the same sim card I have for T-mobile with straight talk.
you need their simcard as you have to register the sim serial to get service.
ahhh okay, makes sense, Thank you
I want to get this phone but might want to switch carriers soon. I was planning on doing the Sprint EasyPay for it and paying off the rest of the phone if or when I decide to switch carriers. After I pay it off in full and unlock it, would I be able to use it on T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon, or any of their MVNO's? Basically what I am asking is does the Sprint S6 support the necessary bands that the other networks operate on, and if so, would calling or texting still work? I have heard of some phones that have a SIM card slot for the LTE SIM on Sprint, but voice and text don't work once unlocked and used on another carrier.
Thanks,
Kyle
I would really like to know the answer to this as well. I have been searching without a definitive result.
Specifically, can unlocked Sprint phone be used on Verizon?
I just bought one and my international sim card isn't picking up any signal with a x above the icon and it says not a verizon sim card. I can only assume this is because the phone isn't activated on verizon yet since note 4s are unlocked by default. Is there anyway to bypass this activation?
Pls someone reply.... am having same issue over here.
Set your phone network to "Global".
Hi of the blackview 9500 Pro it's not a complete idiot and I'm not afraid to get into the kernal. But like many I've gotten spoiled to the one click wave of rooting and hoping to find the same for this one. The main reason why I need to do this as the frequency bands on this phone will match 4G LTE for AT&T and already know it works for volte4g Cricket which is AT&T. But with this phone it will not under AT&T SIM card you like anything but 3-g band but the Cricket SIM card will utilize the 4G volte band I'm hoping to find some tools to modify this so I can have 4G LTE or volte on AT&T SIM card. Thank you looking forward to reply
Are you sure the native ATT Sim doesn't work? I have a Blackview 9500 (not pro) and my ATT sim shows 4G VoLTE. My second sim is Google FI and it shows 4G.
Sim
I cant be 100% as I have had the phone for less than a week. I went through every APN attached set up I could find. And to note it is a brand new sim card from the att store. I was going to try and switch sim2 (working cricket 4g Volte sim) with sim card 1 and see if sim2 is still 4g... I was hoping to avoid that due to in the past I had to call separate support lines to activate the IMIE... then depending on result possibly have to rinse and repeat back to back calling 2 different support lines... Ugh!
Could you many post what ur APN settings are many I missed something... Note*I was looking for root because I read that you can open up controls/ mods you wouldn't have otherwise with APN
Thx
First of all let me say that before u answer this question I have about as much knowledge on this as a 75yo grandmother, so please keep it extra simple. Most of what I read on these forums might as well be Greek. I have an LG G7 ThinQ. More specifically the G710VMX. I purchased it unlocked and brought it to Tracfone, yes I use Tracfone. It worked with the original SIM card I had from another phone until it didn't, that's when the issues began. Bought a 3 pack VZW, T-Mobile, AT&T sim kit intending to use VZW because has the best service in rural areas. That sim would not work so ended up with T-Mobile sim and bad service. Assumed the phone was GSM only so I suffered. Then I tried to put in an AT&T sim to see if that would give better service and it's GSM so I thought it would work, well it doesn't. Somehow this is only compatible with T-Mobile and US Cellular which is CDMA(? since I assumed phone GSM only). Now Tracfone and T-Mobile reps both are telling me that once they switch to VoLTE the phone will no longer work, I will need a new phone. How is that possible?? I love this phone and hace read that it is capable of operating in VoLTE but the setting to turn it on is not there. And all other networks when given my IMEI tell me it's not compatible. HELP ME PLEASE, I can't afford, nor do I want, a new phone right now.

time will tell, you know just use your phone as long as it's still working. don't let marketing fool you
Well, the other issue is that I need to get it away from Tracfone T-Mobile because their service is terrible in my area. I can't seem to get either a Tracfone AT&T or Tracfone Verizon SIM to work yet the phone is compatible (according to the websites respectively) with Cricket wireless (AT&T) and US Cellular (cdma). I don't understand... That is why I brought this question to all of you. I live and work in a rural area and it may sound crazy but all I want to do is make stinking phone calls.
