im using a verizon note 2 with an att sim card. The problem is that when i receive phone calls the number shows up with a + in front of it
(+5162596514). When i try to call that number it doesnt go thru stating that im not allowed to make international calls even though its a local number. I never had a problem with the verizon sim card it only started when i made the switch. Would the apn settings have something to with it? any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, I have a Galaxy Note II i317, it used to be my mother's until she had a very tiny crack across the screen to which she got a new Note II at the time. I recently decided to try and use the phone with Straight Talk....
A few things I've done/tried...
Putting the Straight Talk SIM card into the phone, reads No SIM/Emergency Calls Only
Changed the Firmware back to 4.1.1 from 4.1.2 and tried to unlock the phone using the unlock code...unsuccessful
Tried Rooting the phone and using TWRP to change the Baseband... no avail...
I guess the main question I have is if I can even do anything at all to use the phone, or would the IMEI be blocked because of the replacement phone?
Any and all help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!!![/SIZE]
IMEI should not be blocked...(check with carrier to confirm)..
Straight talk is essentially AT&T...but does use a different APN...
And if the SIM is not provisioned for use by your carrier...the phone will show the inactive SIM message.
Once you have determined the SIM is active and correct...you can set up the new APN in your mobile settings menu and be good...
Give them a call and they can help...
You will likely need a new SIM CARD....g
Should I call Straight Talk, At&t, or both? I know the SIM works in my S III currently. I just really don't want to let this phone go to waste.
Give straight talk a call first...as they provide the service..g
I need AT&T users to test this for me. On my wife's 5X on AT&T it seems like every call goes to voicemail first but if you call back it will ring. Could someone test and see if they are getting this? If not do you know how to fix? Thanks
I'm receiving calls just fine on mine. I'm on att trough net10 though so I'm not sure if that's different.
I'm on AT&T and no trouble receiving calls for me.
So odd, spent some time with att on the phone. My suspicion is that when a call is coming in since we do not have volte it drops to h+ which has a weak signal and goes to vm... When will att allow volte for not att phones?! Thanks all

if you haven't yet, I would reset/flash as new without sim and then reinsert sim and go through setup as stock. No google voice or hangouts or forwarding and see what happens.
my 5x hadoffs between lte and h+ happen a bit depending where I am at my house, and I don't have any problems. MY last thought is check airplane and do not dusturb, but still. I would start at the beginning.
maybe you've already done this.

I also have AT&T, and no problems receiving phone calls. I had to get a new SIM card when I got the phone (nano SIM to replace the micro SIM that I had used in my old Nexus 5). I noticed that the APN that was the default on this phone is "ATT Nextgenphone", instead of the "ATT Phone" APN that my old Nexus 5 used. The old "ATT Phone" still shows up as an option, but I figured that I'd just leave it as is (on the "ATT Nextgenphone" APN. I don't know much about it, but from googling around, I believe that this APN is for VoLTE. (http://developer.att.com/technical-library/apns/apn-descriptions-and-characteristics). Might want to check APN settings and see if you can change it to Nextgenphone.

Thanks but hers is also on that apn. I'm going to send it back to google and try a different unit. According to everything I have read VOLTE is only available on AT&T if you have their specific phones. I hope that changes soon but if I'm wrong and you are getting VOLTE please tell me. Of course the easiest way to test is to turn off wifi and while you are on LTE have someone call you and see if it drops to H or H+ or if it stays on LTE. Thanks!
I am am also having this same issue. People trying to call me are getting call failed messages and they have to dial 5 or 6 times before the call actually connects. I did you get a solution?
I am new so forgive me if im posting in the wrong place.
Heres my need....i busted my S5, so I took my sim card out & placed it in my Galaxy tab 3, hoping to use it as my phone until I can replace my S5. I rooted the tab successfully using instructions on this forum. Now how do i unlock the calling feature so i can receive & make calls using my at&t cell service, not wifi app?
I have seen post about international firmware,but all the download links are dead.
My tablet is activated & running 4.4.2, i do not have a stock phone icon/app & only dial pad is hangouts.
Please help im desperate & been phoneless for almost 2 weeks.
I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this but as far as I remember the ATT modem is Data only, you can get text messages by installing GOSms (i think that's the only one I've gotten texts working with) but no calls, the default dialer app that's hidden only allows to send codes and wont allow you to place or receive calls, I've tried replacing it with another dialer from a different rom and didnt have any luck
I have gn2 unlocked and rooted stock 4.3
I put in a straight talk sim in the phone and entered the correct apn settings. currently text, data, mms all function correctly.
the problem is that voice calls do not work at all, inbound call ring out to voicemail and outbound calls immediately hang up
I called the cust svc number and they claim that since it was originally a tmo device I need to get the tmo compatible sim card from straight talk because the software in the phone is not compatible with an at&t based sim
I want to find an at&t rom stock 4.3 rom only (not kernel/modem) to test their theory
Solved: phone had incorrect settings in the "hidden menu"
I changed it to umts/lte

I have a pixel 3xl, up to date stock non rooted, on straight talk lte/cdma Verizon network. I got a text saying straight talk now has VoLTE so I tried to find it in settings but there's no option for it. When I search it it comes up but when I click it it goes to mobile settings and it's not there I did the *#*#4636#*#* and it's also grayed out there. I changed the network mode in that diag screen to lte/cdma to see if that helped, was on global before i think. Still no VoLTE and for some reason I can't make calls. I have data, can send and receive texts but when I go to call it says no network. Removed Sim card didn't fix it, restarted it. Safe mode doesn't help either. Tired clicking trigger carrier provisioning, updated the smsc. Change mobile network to lte only, back to global, lte/cdma. I have no idea what else to try. Straight talk is basically useless for customer service so I haven't even tried yet lol.
Update!! It works!! Somehow I either damaged my sim card when I switch from my pixel 2xl to this 3xl and it somehow lasted till now. Or when I changed my network settings something wrote to the sim?( And it messed it up?? IDK much about how the phone and sim interact with each other)... But I did have a 2 year old sim card, it did not have VoLTE or wifi calling capabilities I now realize. So I bought a new SIM card at Walmart and activated it though the straight talk app on my account and kept the same number. Works perfectly and I now have VoLTE, no wifi calling yet but the option is now there and lets me click it but it fails. Doesn't matter to me, I'm just happy to have VoLTE. I'm leaving this post because straight has horrible customer service and I could find anyone who ran into this specific issue.
