Wifi calling sim card

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
thanks in advance

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

no..its not something i rely on at all...its more something i want in case i ever need it...i know that it uses minutes...i live in ny and went to school upstate...sometimes i go back up there and visit friends..reception may be an issue depending on where i am...some of my friends live in the boondocks lol...also its very useful if you have ever experienced being in a basement that gets no reception

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.

swapping at the store is a genius idea..that never occurred to me...however, before i do that im just trying to see if the TM9703 one will work or not..no sense of trading in a working sim for another sim
thanks for all the responses...still hoping to hear from someone with the 9703 or a different working sim

Wish I remembered lol I know that we can tell from the picture on them because they changed the picture starting with those ill get my new sim card out I haven't used it yet n will let u know in a couple min I have like 5 of them laying around

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.

Then I suggest he get transferred to tech care. We have option to overnight for free.

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.

Cool story bro
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

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 .

SIM Card Help!

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!

Should be able to get a micro SIM card for free at T-Mobile store

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.

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.

So the note II has a mini sim

Anyone get their note II from tmobile? Did it come with a programmed mini sim ? I just found out about this and my old sim is the og and wont work in the note. If it doesnt come with a programmed sim am I going to have to bring it to a tmobile dealer to have it programmed?

You can either buy a new micro sim at their retail store, or you could just cut the sim into a micro sim.

I'm sure your n2 came with a micro sim in the box. You can always go to my.t-mobile.com and activate your new sim online. Takes about 2 mins and although it says it might take 2 hours to activate, it's almost always immediate.

Here in Sweden the carrier put my old sim in something that looked like a nail clipper. 2 seconds later a mini sim had been stamped out. I can only imagine your carrier has the same tool.

Simply take your old sim to your local dealer and let them know you need a micro for your GN2.. I did this when I got my GS3 and they transferred all my contacts as well cause I didn't back them up t google..

Just as a side note. If your like me and swap phones often and your old ones are mini SIM vs micro SIM them you will need a converter. You can get them on eBay for like a dollar. I think I paid 5 bucks for 5. This way you can use your mini SIM in your old phones. It's just a plastic template that the mini SIM fits into. I'm using one right now in my SG2. Rumor is T-Mobile will start carrying them as well. I think there's are red vs mine are black but the color makes no difference.

Not to nitpick, but for exactitude's sake: what we typically refer to as "regular" SIM cards are technically "Mini" SIMs. The "full-size" ones were credit-card sized and weren't around for very long.

Standard sim cards are "mini sim" The smaller squarish ones are micro sim. IF you bought brand new, should have a micro in the box. Otherwise, cut yours down. Takes less than 5 to go online and activate new micro tho.

Nice. Thanks for the tips!!! I didn't know it could be activated online and the nearest store is a half hour away . So thats definitely awesome. Should have it mon or tues. Thanks folks!

All you have to do is login to my.t-mobile.com and find the "activate sim card" Or, I guess you could do live chat or call them.

You can always call 611 and talk to customer care as well. They can activate it for you. And if your old phone had contacts on the sim card and it's backed up with tmobile's backup, you can port all the contacts as well. Or, have all your contacts via google mail, and all the contacts get automagically transferred over.

When I ordered my note 2 T Mobile sent a MicroSIM with it and you can just go to www.T-Mobile.com/sim to activate it.

It shows up on my S3, but not on Note 2, stock Rom.

Actually if you have an old mini sim card or us people call it a sim card, some features like Wi-Fi calling won't work. That's what had to be done when I switched to the S2. Jumped ships onto the S3 was when I got my micro sim card, then switched to the Note 2, so now I have an extra micro sim card just in case.

Wanted to use my prepaid sim in my new Note2. Tmobile tried charging me $20 for a new micro sim which is ridiculous so I just went home and cut my sim down myself.

Swapping Sim between HTC One & iPhone 5

So I will be getting the HTC One. I'm currently using an iPhone 5, and I want to be able to switch between the 2.
I know the iPhone 5 uses nano sim, and the HTC One uses micro sim, so I will have to buy an adapter.
However, will it even be possible to just switch sims, seeing as Verizon is CDMA?
Thanks!

I'm doing this same thing with my S4. You will have a SIM in the iPhone and a SIM in the HTC One.
You'll need to go onto the website and swap the active device on the line (takes like 5 mins, super easy).
Even if you could just drop the iPhone SIM into the HTC One (you can not), you'd still have to set the IMEI for the device to be the active device.
This is how they track data usage etc. Activation takes up to 15 minutes, but I noticed in my area in socal it took only 2 minutes.
There is no additional cost to swap or use a different device. Did this myself this morning, rep assured there is no charge but they do present a summary of what the line (your phone number) costs monthly. Not to be confused with the IMEI and SIM numbers (for which there is NO cost to swap, add, etc).

I've swapped my sim between at least 20 devices without ever needing to change anything on the verizon web page. The only time I have ever had to have any interaction with Verizon is when going from a nano to micro sim. However I've cut three micro sims to fit into iPhones without issue.

That's way too complicated. Just buy a $5 sim adapter off Amazon and voila. I switch between my s4 and iPhone on a weekly basis and have never had to call verizon or use the website.

With sim adapter I've been using the Same sim and switching between my galaxy s4, iPhone 5, bb Z10, and lumia 928.

Ok, so it looks like there are a couple different options, and now at least I know it's definitely possible to do easily.
Thanks for the replies everyone, you're awesome!

**EDIT** Ha! Snap, 600th post. Sorry, had to, I got excited for a second.

I went by a Verizon store today to purchase an HTC One. At the store, there was a sticker on the HTC One that said "NFC SIM required to activate". The sales person didn't know if my nano sim / adapter would work at all in the HTC One. We couldn't even test it, because he said I'd be charged a $35 restocking fee if it didn't work, and if I decided not to purchase... I decided not to take the risk.
Has anyone actually tried moving an iPhone 5 nano sim to an HTC One (using an adapter)?
Can an active nano sim (non-NFC sim) be used / moved a new HTC One, or is a NFC sim really required to activate??

I have not and I don't know the answer to your last question, however I've decided I'm just going to keep the nano sim in the iPhone and keep a sim in the htc one and when I want to switch I'll just go to VZW website and switch phones, like the first answer said. It's real simple so for me it's no big deal. I'd rather not put the wear and tear on the sim and sim tray.

I switch between my HTC One, SG3, and SG4 but they all have same size SIM.
I heard adapters can cause issues
gotta love how apple does everything different until it comes to software that was in Android light years before iOS
how do I tell if my SIM is NFC?
I am still using my SIM card I got when I bought Samsung s3

how do you figure???
iphone takes a nano sim card. much smaller
either need adapter, or ruin his sim and cut it to fit the iphone and then no way to get it to work on HTC One.

ohh, no need to apologize, I am sorry as well. I understand your post now.

Then why would Verizon put a giant sticker on the HTC One box, proclaiming an NFC sim was required? Placing my iPhone sim in the One (with adapter) will just work? Hopefully this is the case.

I have not and I don't know the answer to your last question, however I've decided I'm just going to keep the nano sim in the iPhone and keep a sim in the htc one and when I want to switch I'll just go to VZW website and switch phones, like the first answer said. It's real simple so for me it's no big deal. I'd rather not put the wear and tear on the sim and sim tray.

This will not work. As soon as you activate the One VZ will "burn" your i5 sim. Same thing going the other direction. VZ will not allow you to have two (2) working sim cards.

Verizon used to disable a SIM after its been used... i.e. SIM A in phone, switch to SIM B, SIM A is no longer usable. So your plan might now work.
Instead, you'll likely have to activate the Nano SIM for the iPhone 5, then use an adapter when moving your iPhone 5 SIM to another phone...
Two SIM adapter options are -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009B9YWB4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ABEA7E/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (i've ordered each of those, so I know they work ).

i literally just reactivated my nano sim, stuck it in my iPhone to make sure it worked, and then put it into my One using an adapter. works fine

I guess you can call Verizon and have them send you a sim card.
.. but only one lol
got one coming. just in case ever need one
they send for free and doen't charge for the SIM if anyone every wants to save themselves a trip to the VZW store
I had them send NFC SIM, didn't realize i dont need it but oh well.
she actually sent me two because their systems were slow and she never asked my address and I said ur sending it to my appt right, and shes like.. no.
she was very nice, apologized for not asking, and instead said f it and said ill just send one to you and one to the original order cos their computers weer sucking lol

AT&T SIM Card

I have an unlocked HTC 10 on order. Since the it will not be sold by AT&T, what is the best way to get an AT&T SIM card for this device? It takes a Nano SIM, and I have an old HTC One M7 that has a Micro SIM; i.e. not comptible.
If I take the HTC 10 to at AT&T store, will they give or sell me a SIM for it? Curious. TIA.

Yes, they will simply sell or give you a sim card, then update your account.
You're what is called a COAM (Customer Owned And Maintained) user.

Just walk in and request a nano. Should be free if youre a customer ?

Thank you!

As long as you go to a Company Owned store they are free. Authorized Retailers may charge for a SIM, so I would avoid if possible and go straight to Company Owned location.

Would I be able to take the nano sim out of my AT&T M9? I was previously on Sprint for 15 years and never had to deal with sim cards.

If it's a Nano SIM, yes, just pop it into the 10 and it will be good to go. You ~might~ need to adjust APNs, but that's easy enough.
