Hi There
Last Month My Carrier Provider Send A Broadcast Message Saying "If You Have An Old Phone Insert A Valid SIM Card Inside Otherwise By The First Of June Your Mobile Will Not Work"
After That I Knew That Each SIM Card Can Operate Only One Mobile Phone If By Any Chance Need To Use Another Mobile Phone With My SIM I Need To Send An Empty Message To A Specific Number To Release My Phone Number To That Specific IMEI And Then Insert My SIM Into Another Mobile And Also Send An Empty Message To A Specific Number To Register My Phone Number With The New IMEI.
This Operation Can Only Be Operator Twice In Six Month
If I Do Not Do The Above Procedure And I Insert My SIM Card Into An Unregistered Mobile I Get A Signal From Carrier But Only Emergency Calls Are Allowed
My Question: Is There Anyway That I Can Bypass This Procedure????????
Many Thanks In Advance

Hi
To all I am completely new to the M1000 after upgrading from a SPV c500 and throwing my old PDA away.
I have been reading through the forums about the Dual Sim
At the mo I have 2 Orange Sim Cards 1 on contact and 1 Pay as you go I would like to put both sims in the phone so that I can use my free minutes on contract and my free texts on Pay as you go.
I was thinking of buying the King of Double card Dual Sim Card form e-bay.
I have read that you can swap sims by turning on/off flight mode ???
I have regestered my interest in WiVit for there Today screen sim switcher. But this not yet ready.
3 Questions
1. Has anyone done this
2. How do you switch sims using flight mode
3. How can you tell if both are on orange which one you are cureently using??
If anyone can answer this for me please please include idiot instructions as i dont want to break this terriffic phone
Many many thanks
To swap sim using flight mode, click on the top of screen where the signal/antenna is, choose flight mode............click same place again, click turn off flight mode, your sim is now swapped. To find out which sim you are using you could choose programs/sim manager/tools/list own number, that should give you the phone number of current sim in use, there is probably an easier way but I cant think of it right now.
I used dual-sim on my nokia for ages until they stopped it working.
To get around the problem with knowing which sim is active, I stored all my numbers in the phone, then had 1 number in each sim, with a dummy number so I didn't dial by mistake.
e.g. 'Private', '000' for my own sim.
and 'Work', '000' for my worktime sim.
(on the nokia, I had to put 'a' in front so this number was always at the top of my phonelist, but this is not needed on the XDA.)
Hello,
Next week I'm traveling to different country so I'll change my phone number to new Sim, the Sim is a global but made from Belgium.
In Whatsapp plus there is an option to change the number, but I checked the if the app will work with the second number without using this option ant it works very well-I received messages that sent to my first Sim in the app while Sim number 2 was in the phone.
Would it work the same way when I'll be traveling?
Sincerely,

SIM is not used for WhatsApp to work - it is only used to validate your installation ONCE only. After that WhatsApp just uses any Internet connection you have available - Wifi or any other via any SIM Card in the device. You can also pull out the original SIM and use it elsewhere for plain telephony.
Thank you very much tobbbie.
I forgot to write it but it was also one my checks that I did.
Hi ,
Any one got his fire phone ( unlocked version ) working in India ? THough band configuration looks compatible, its not working ... I am curious to know if it works for anybody ?
Not working for me
Neither call or msg
No, FIre Phone wont work in India
I bought Fire Phone in US and sent it to india. My friend confirmed that its not working with Airtel, Vodafone and Idea. I spoke to Amazon Customer care and they also confirmed that there is an ongoing issue and amazon is working on the resolution. As on today there is no estimated ETA, it might take a month to 3 months.
Gopi
Is there any way to make it work?
I tried my airtel sim and its the same story INVALID SIM. Is there anyway that i can make it work? Damn I bought this phone!
Amazon Fire Phone works in India with Vodafone
Guys,
The fire phone works for me and I use Vodafone sim from Chennai. The story goes as follows. I got the phone from my husband a week back and I have been trying with the sim and it never worked. On top it showed Vodafone IN with signal bar, the data plan worked but no calls or messages. My husband contacted Amazon and following is their email and I've also commented what I did for each step.
Thank you for calling today about your Fire Phone.
I am sorry you are having trouble using the device in India.
Here are a few things for you to try.
1. Make sure you are using an actual nano SIM card and not a SIM card that was cut down to a nano SIM card. Cutting down an existing SIM
card is not recommended and has been known to cause compatibility issues. If the phone says "No SIM" or "Invalid" in the Status Bar at
the top of screen, you might be using a cut SIM card. - I was using a new nano sim. My data plan worked fine and on top it showed Vodafone IN but was not able to make calls.
2. Turn on caller ID. (Service providers in India require all phones to
have caller ID enabled.) To turn on caller ID, go to Settings > Phone
Configure Caller ID > Show Your Caller ID, and then select Show Number.
This option was disabled in my phone so couldn't do anything
3. Please contact your service provider so they can verify if your IMEI is blocked by the network. Your carrier may ask for the following
information:
IMEI: To find the IMEI number, enter *#06# on the phone's dialer.
Type Approval Code (TAC): The TAC for Fire phone is 01428500. - Vodafone said they do not do this and don't block any phones
4. Access Point Name Information: Go to Settings > WiFi & Networks >
Change your mobile operator > Access Point Names > Add an Access Point
Name. You should only enter the information the carrier provides, and
then tap Save and Select APN. - This was already setup with right settings for Vodafone
After checking all the above it still did not work so I lost hope and asked my husband to call Amazon for a alternate solution. They asked if I did the 5th step which was below. So I waited for 24hrs inserted sim and restarted sim and voila it worked.
5. It may take 24 to 48 hours for you to use your phone to make and receive calls after the carrier activates it. After 24 to 48 hours,
you should remove the SIM card, restart their phone, and then insert the SIM card.
PS - The thing is these settings given above where already set for my phone. But it worked after Amazon was contacted so I wonder if they did anything with my IMEI number to make it work.
Hi Guys, I am using this phone and it is working well . Its been alomost 11 months now I have been using this phone. Like it is said, dnt cut your SIM card, instead use a new nano SIM from the operator. Even I have a vodafone SIM inserted, and the phone started working.
Hey all,
This may or may not be ROM specific, but I just switched carriers and for the time that my number was being ported, I had both my old SIM card (Net10 on AT&T towers) and my new SIM card (T-Mobile) in the phone. During that crossover time, everything worked fine. In the SIM settings page, the carrier for each SIM and the associated phone number appeared correctly. However, once I removed my old SIM (phone was powered down any time I changed SIMs) the phone still functions fine for calls, texts, and data, but it no longer recognizes the SIM carrier or phone number.
This is made worse, as the carrier has an app that checks the SIM card before running, now, the app just shows "We do not recognize your SIM card".
I also noticed that carrier specific dialer codes no longer function. For example, if you dial #264# you should be presented with the status of T-Mobiles "Binge On" feature, but now it just does nothing once I hit call.
I have tried swapping the SIM between slot 1 and slot 2, I have also tried rebooting numerous times, all to no avail. I'd really prefer to not have to switch ROMs, but if that ends up being the solution, I guess I'll do it.
Any help would be appricated.
Thanks,
Austin

What does your Settings>About Phone>Sim Status show?
There are some apps (root+Xposed required) which edit the number in the sim. You can also input a number if it is blank in the sim.
Failing this, you may have to approach your service provider.

The Phone Number row shows as Unknown in there as well. However, if I insert my old sim in the other sim slot it then shows my correct phone number.
So the number is there in the sim, but for some reason is only read if I have both sims in.
Hello guys!
I have a phablet Cube WP 10 with a locked SIM card (No service status). I already installed InteropTools_2.0.95.0 and searched in the registry of OS using the Interop Registry browser, but couldn't find any parameter related with a the SIM card and its status.
What should I do to unlock the SIM? May be there is another trick without using the registry?
Attention! Added information: The SIM card works with another phone and this phone sees it, but can't use the cell network - "No service" when calling...
Which carrier is the sim card from? What do you mean sim card lock? SIM card has a pin enabled?
Try putting the sime card into another phone yet?
You won't unlock locked phone to use SIM from another carrier by modifying registry. There is no such a thing.

No service
The SIM card works and the phone sees it, but can't use the cell network - "No service" when calling...
If you purchased your cube for a specific operator, you must call this operator to have the unlock code.

I thought the Cube WP was an unlocked device.
If the SIM sees no network that means the sim is not compatible. I am not sure what the problem is exactly.
I've changed current SIM card to the SIM card of another cell-operator, but nothing has changed. And what is important to mention, I can't find any cell-network of my region using the network search. May be it's some kind of lock?

maybe, simply the phablet has a hardware issue - most probably antenna has been disconnected from the motherboard
I have sim cards that if they are deactivated will get no service when inserted into a valid phone they can work on. Are you using an active sim? If so maybe look at this link as there are some service codes to try maybe...but make sure to read any warnings. Not sure if any of them work either.

Both these sim cards are active because they works with other phones.
Thanks for this link, but these codes destined for Android OS and don't work on WM10 except first one.
Wad worth a shot anyway.
