I have a verizon 4g lte phone with a sim card. This sim card works in other lte phones. I just ordered a verizon xperia play. I read that it has a sim card slot. I also read that the sim card slot doesnt work. Will my sim card work in the verizon xperia play r800x model? How can i make it work? There shouldnt be any unlocking needed as everything is verizon here. Ive searched everywhere but havent found an answer.
No The SIM card slot doesn't function on the Verizon variant of the r800. It's got a slot but it should have a fake card in it
Actually it's just empty if you remove the cover, if you try to insert something in it, it will get lost inside the phone and rattle in it.

Well mine has a piece there. That's why I mentioned it... Not to say that it's not empty.

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
I think not, but some sellers on ebay are putting so in the description of the announcement.

Well the LTE SIM is of a standardized SIM size. That's not the problem.
yeah, you can't do this OP.
I thought the lte sim is a micro sim card which wont fit the normal sim card...

Micro SIM is a standardized SIM size. You can cut "normal" SIMs (which is actually a Mini SIM) to go into Micro slots, and you can use adapters to put Micros into Mini slots. This is how people run iPhones on T-Mobile (cut a T-Mo SIM), and use iPhone-provisioned Micro SIMs in normal GSM devices (put in an adapter).
But like I said, this isn't part of the issue. The problem is incompatible radio hardware that can't be changed. I was just stating that the physical sizes of the card and slot aren't the issues.
thanks for clearing that up.. I had to click the "thanks" button also b/c i was number 300.. lol
Just saw one of my customers xperia plays. Hers was a R800x.. but it had a sim card slot. Now I didnt get around to playing with it, since she had locked her phone out.. but really got me curious now. Since my personal R800x for verizon doesnt have the sim slot like the Ntelos one seems to have. (Ntelos is a regional carrier for VA)
So was wondering.. is this hardware slot just disabled.. or can it actually work with the right rom?
All of the R800x do have a SIM slot, just around where the SD card slot is under the cover. However it is filled/glued with a little filler plastic chip/card. The R800x still has the slot for the SIM card, but it does not make use of it, it is physically disconnected and does not function under the firmware.
So, short answer is, all R800x have the slot, and No it doesn't work.
Reminds me of the old CDMA nokias.. 3570s heh. Darn, Well yea, seems Verizon covers the slot, Ntelos however doesnt. =) Sucks that there is no way to enable it.
For some reason my ZL is very picky on what sim card it tries to read. It's only detecting my current T-Mobile sim card. If I put any other sim card in regardless what carrier it's from, the phone will not detect the sim and will display sim card not installed. Yet, the other sim cards work perfectly fine in my iPhone. So it can't be a sim card issue. Now every time I install a sim card I always reboot like what your suppose to do but when the phone powers back on, I still get no sim card installed. However if i put my current T-Mobile sim card in, it detects it.Strange!
hi i'd like to ask to any owner of this phone in dual sim version, where do you fit the sim cards? and more important can you fit the second sim and have the sd card inserted too or like other phones (lg g5) you can fit the second sim but can't use the sd card? thaaaaaaanks

you can use dual sim if you dont use SD cards. there is a way to use dual simcard plus SDcard. youll have to search for it in youtube.

so no sim cards and sd together in this phone too?? do you own the dual version?
pretty much useless then...i saw that method it sucks, you have to cut and glue the sim to the sd card
