If I sim unlock my tilt 2, will it take an att go phone sim card? Right now it says sim card invalid.

Probably so. I don't see why it wouldn't take it. A SIM unlock allows you to insert any carrier's SIM card for use on a GSM network.
When did you get the tilt?
I have been using my unlocked tilt2 with a go phone sim card for the past 6 months. Does the SIM card work with other phones? If not, maybe bad SIM card. If so, not sure what is up..
Try a new SIM card see if that works. I know if you bought the gophone in a kit you know one of the boxed ones in the electronics department the sims in the those phones are locked for 6 months i believe get a new SIM card activate it and your good to go if its an At&t tilt2 you shouldnt even need the device unlocked just from my experience and reading other fourms.. Hope this helps you or someone else
Data on newer tmobile micro sim cards in US will not work with international htc one x this is a fact now its impossible to manuelly or automaticly set up apn, phone refuses to recognize new micro sim and even when you fill all fields in apn settings and save phone itself just reset everything and delete new apn and message is there is no sim card,however calls and sms works but data no,i tryed even various apps from market like apn global and others its the same its just not possible,i found out only that older tmobile sim cards they call them non gba sim card will work, those are one withouth pictures of people painted so just plain white with pink tmobile letters and they needs to have number 50.01.im using different carrier then tmobile i have data normaly but im trying to sell this phone and i get 2 deals cancelled because of this is there any different solution then chasing old tmobile cards and they are pretty rare now.
There probably won't be a fix coming anytime soon. I'm one of the unfortunate ones without a old micro sim card. However, you could first talk to customer service online, and let them know this issue you're having. (Make sure they put a note on file based on the chat stating that the micro sim card you're looking for is a 50.01 not a 50.05 or any newer.) Then call customer service and tell them that you spoke to a customer rep online and please check the note on file regard sending out a correct replacement micro sim card. I believe they think that a 50.05 micro sim card is also a non gba sim card. I'm hoping the replacement micro sim card arriving next week would be the correct one. If not, cut your old sim card into micro sim size and use it on your One X.
Im not having problems im simple mobile user,i was selling one x and that the reason im asking because data wont work,but i sold the phone anyway that issue with tmobile its because 4G data
My newer micro sim did not allow me to save the Tmobile apn . Switched it to my wife's older sim that I cut down to a micro for her iphone. Entered the T-Mobile APN hit the save button and of course it worked. I was then surprised when I switched my sim back in and it still worked. Had a few 50.01 SIMS ready but did not have to cut any down and call T-Mobile to switch them.

Hello there,
has anyone got a note ii with vodafone micro sim card running fine?
I have inserted several micro sim cards from vodafone, including at two vodafone stores, sadly non of them get recognised. Could my note ii be faulty?
I need to know this so that I can return it to Handtec UK.
Thanks for the heads up.

It is very strange because I have a pay as you go vodafone micro sim card that works just fine, as does a t-mobile micro sim from my s 3.
The trouble is with the contract micro sent to me, as well as the ones I tried today.
Also, when you look at the chips on the micro sims, the t-mobile as well as the vodafone pay as you go micro sims are longer than the chips on the others. When voda sent the micro to me, it read iPhone/iPad. The assistants in the voda stores claim the micro sim is said to be for iPad/iPhone, but should work in any phone designed to take micro sim cards.
I got mine from Vodafone as upgrade. It comes with a micro sim. It has been working fine for me for the last 2 weeks.

I have tried O2, tmobile, gifgaff, and an Asian roaming sim card with mine and they all work. Are you saying the sim card from voda is not the same size as the one that works? Maybe they are NANO sim cards and the contacts dont line up with your Note 2. So they don't work. Or if they are for iphone, then they are for iphone, which is trying hard to monopolise the industry, but will NEVER happen! Phuck apple devices !!!!
Probably vodafone are giving me non cards, because as I said, their pay as you go has a longer chip. The trouble is that the guys in the stores can see this, but insist the "nano" should work?

They're giving you nano-sims?
Unless you're inserting them with an adapter I doubt they'll work as the note 2 is designed to take micro sims, not nano sims. Nano sims are a bit smaller.

I just don't know what is up with these sim cards. I was on chat with a voda customer rep. He will be sending out another sim card. I hope it works. I advised him to look at the lengths of the chip itself, and get to me one that equals the length of their PAYG micro sim cards.
I will let you know how I get on in three to five working days, which is when the sim might be with me.
I cut mine with scissors... I couldn't wait long enough to drive 5 miles to the nearest store haha

Actually it's funny because I've tried to insert nano simcard by a mistake and it actually works (DON'T THINK ABOUT DOING THIS). I hope it won't move while being inside or I'm screwed. It was already too late when I realized that nano sim card is different from micro sim. Guess I was too excited to try this phone out.
The screenshots were taken with SG Note 1 and I kept the resolution unchanged.
Don't ask me how did I do it, because I don't know it myself.

I also made calls with it and it's working just fine.

Yeah I'll have to buy an micro sim adapter for the peace of mind.
You can purchase micro sim cutters; or use one as a template. I've had no issues with my normal sim cut with scissors. Hell, I wonder why they decided to go the micro-sim root anyway. Complicates things.

I am currently using my micro sim from my iphone 4 on the note 2 and had no problems. I have been using the same sim on the day of the launch of note 2 and it's been fine.
Could the moderators please close this thread?
My issue has been resolved. The micro sim card tray was faulty.
I posted my phone back to Handtec on Wednesday. They received it yesterday, and I have received a new replacement today.
They are excellent for delivering quality in time. One day between the original order and delivery, one day between return/warranty and replacement.
If they could do it in one day, they would.
I read review on internet and first time I saw that they mentioned that Note 2 is using micro sim card. I have Note 1 and plan to buy international Note 2, how did you guys in US got around it with your AT&T sim cards? Did you go inside the store and ask for new micro sim card or just cut the regular sim smaller? Thx.
You can cut it easily, but if you just go to AT&T they will give you one no problem. Just be honest and tell them you got a new phone and need it. I've done it before and they changed it in 5 minutes.

Yes you need to cut it.. Here is india they charge $1
I bought a punch some time ago when I was playing with Apple stuff. Punches are really cheap now days $5. But it is pretty easy to cut a sim, just use the pdf templete or call some local cell shops, I'm sure you can find one that will punch a sim for you.

So I'm planning on pre-ordering the gs6. My question is, does the phone come with a sim card or will I have to take it to att. I'm on a gs4 and I'm pretty sure the gs6 takes a different size sim.

S6 uses a nano SIM, S4 uses micro SIM. So yeah, it's different. But the chip itself is the same, and only needs cutting down. If you take to an AT&T store, they can probably cut it down for you. Or you can go on eBay and pick up a cutter for a mere few bucks (including an adapter that lets you use the nano SIM in a micro SIM phone).
