Did you buy the phone used?
If the person you bought it from bought it with a contract your phone most probably was SIM locked to that operator. He probably bought a unlock key to the phone before he sold it to you.
The problem is that when you factory reset or flash other ROM's you need to put that pin in again.

Thanks
yes
So I have to get the pin code from that person"should work? "
So there's not anyway way to unlock it for ever "without pin code "?
Are all g.nexus phones the same like my phone?
thanks again

Yes, yes and yes in the sense all locked phones need a pin after a reset.

You can buy an unlock code to permenantly unlock it. People sell them on ebay, or other places. I have never bought one myself for the Galaxy Nexus (I have for other phones), but others have. I would do some searching/research first to find a trustworthy seller. Then buy your code and your phone is unlocked forever.

No, most Galaxy Nexus phones are not SIM locked. There are a few carriers that do lock them but in general Nexus devices are not SIM locked. It sounds like the person you purchased it from got it from a carrier that did lock it.

not all galaxy nexus are locked. only a few from a few carriers. the google play store galaxy nexus is not locked at all.
If you buy a GN (galaxy nexus) from ebay and the carrier is vzw and doesn't come with a sim will it still work or do you have to root it?
Go to Verizon and they will give you a new sim for free . No sim=no work..I buy used phones a lot and do this every time with Verizon now the sim stays with the phone number

if you already have an active verizon account they shouldnt charge for a new sim, just go to a verizon store and request a replacement SIM
yeah i have never been charged for a sim card they are free, if you call 611 the say to go to the nearest vz store or they can send you one.. just tell them that you bought the phone from a private sale and you need a sim. they will do the rest

SO you probably bought a SIM locked SIII.
Example: You bought a T-Mobile GS3 and are trying to use a AT&T sim card. You need the carrier unlock code from the originating carrier that issued the phone.
What company is your sim card from? And what company is on the back of the phone?

ebay search unlock code t999. itll cost you 9 dollars and youll have to let the dude remote access your pc to unlock it.

I have a year left on my contract if it's possible, if it's not possible with one, can I do it with the s4?

If you buy any SPRINT phone from eBay with a clean ESN, all you have to do is call or take it to a sprint store and they can switch your number onto your phone from eBay for free. Even with a year left.

Sprint has simcards. Its just that you can't really replace it. They're chips actually attached to the motherboard
