I just got this phone last night. The lady told me that it was supposed to be unlocked and they had put in straight talk sims with success. I have cincinnati bell and i tried putting my sim card in it and nothing registered. i put it in gsm mode and nothing happened. i usually have to physically go in and select my network but i couldn't find that option at all. where is the option to select your mobile network?

I'm currently in Taiwan for about a week, and am trying to use my T-mobile SGSII with a Taiwanese SIM card. I got my phone unlocked before I left, and I'm not getting any errors with the SIM card. However it looks like it's not working. I'm not seeing any network signal. If I try to search for a network it says "Error while searching for networks". If I try to select a network automatically, it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network."
Anything I'm missing?
Thanks!

Sim my be bad.... Check ur apn settings...make sure they r from the sim.
I went to el salvador and this girl kept dialing some numbers on keypad and #*# n they finally got it to work...if no luck take it to tech office
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Well I eventually gave up on getting the Taiwanese SIM card working, but now I'm back in the states and my phone can't seem to recognize my original T-mobile SIM card anymore. I can't get any sort of network connection, and I get the same error messages when trying to change the network settings. Wifi is working fine.
The SIM card is fine, because I popped it into an old unlocked dumb phone I had, and was able to make calls with it... any ideas?
Thanks!
So it looks like my phone is stuck in flight mode, although Wifi works. When I goto Settings > About Phone > Status, the Service state says "Radio off"...
Hi All,
I have a Canadian T989D from Koodo mobile which I unlocked using unlock code. I took it abroad to Pakistan and after using for 6 months, one day all of a sudden I got NO SERVICE.
Trying to manually select networks, I come across different networks available but clicking on any one of them results in NETWORK REGISTERED sign but still doesn't connect to any network. When I go into the APN settings, I can see different APN settings for the respective sim cards that I put in. E.g. If I put UFONE sim card in, I can see APN settings for UFONE SERVICE PROVIDER.
Here is the twist though. I came back to Canada yesterday and when I put any Canadian Sim in it (FIDO/VIRGIN), it connects to the network without any problems.
Next, I tried T-Mobile sim in the phone. At first few attempts I would receive NO SERVICE/EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY messages. However, just recently I was able to connect to the network by repeatedly changing sim cards and restarting the phone.
So the specific questions to all of you is that "Why can't I connect to ANY network in PAKISTAN when I can see the APN settings for each sim card I put in?" Is there something I can do to fix the issue? I have a running sim card from PAKISTAN with me which I had previously used to connect to the network. Please help/guide me.
Any response will be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I recently went to India and thought it would be cheaper there to get my note 2 unlocked but, the person who tried unlocking my device got mad at me as my phone was rooted. He said, everyone wants to be a developer nowadays and thus it made his job harder. He asked me the model number of my phone as it shows GT-N7105 because I have DN3 v 5.2 installed but it is actually sgh-i317m from Telus in Canada. He gave up and said he was unable to do it. After coming back home, my original sim that I have been using in the same phone, does not work anymore. There is no network. My wife's sim card, which is from another provider, works now though it never did before. I though there could be something wrong with my sim card so I tried it in an old phone and it works perfectly in it. What would you suggest, I should do to try and resolve this problem? I am thinking of erasing everything from my phone and factory resetting it. Eagerly waiting for your expert suggestions!
Just to add: I chose factory reset option from under the settings menu and wiped all my data but it still does not work with my sim. I also, went under the available networks settings, chose the option to search networks and then selected mine (telus) but it say's no service (telus) not available. There is another message in the notification bar, which reads "data roaming: You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off". I am not sure if that tells you something related to my problem but I though I should mention that as well.
I unlocked my VZW g6 play by entering code in settings section to unlock phone (did not insert AT&T sim and wait for code request). It said code accepted but when I put in my AT&T sim I can't connect to their LTE network. It reads the sim, switches to global (gsm), and my network says AT&T with the proper phone number for that sim... But no 4g. I tried inputting the APN settings I found on several sites.. No luck. Same when I copied the APN settings from another AT&T prepaid phone I had available. No go. I called and asked for the APN settings from AT&T and they said I need to change the IMEI number on my sim to that of my g6. They said they did that for me. After power cycling the phone as instructed I still have no data service. Anybody have an idea what settings I need to use in order to use my AT&T sim? Or is that even my problem?
So I have the Galaxy S9 plus, sprint edition. I flashed it with the U1 firmware. Then paid to have it network unlocked. It was reading every SIM card, but sprint & boost (bcuz to get are n not compatible with the unlocked SO/S9+.
So, I decided to switch to either Verizon or AT&T. Verizon won it due to the year long Subscription. Anyway before I went to Verizon. Every SIM card I placed in the card worked no problem. Well, Verizon activated the phone told me the steps to do. I powered off the device. Like I was told & placed the new sim card in.
When I booted up my device it, rebooted with the "New Network provider Sim inserted" & did so. It came on with service. Then rebooted again & came back on with service... Yet again. Then out of nowhere it rebooted, but this time it came on with it any signal bars. Saying, the folowing messages "Searching For Service", "No Network Connection" and "Emergency Calls Only".
I have did all the trouble shooting that I have came across. Including using the Chimera Tool to try & fix the network connection. But it repeatedly failed. I took it to UbreakIFix & they said the phone's fine. That it has to be Verizon's side with the problem. Can anyone help me fix this issue.
I have placed other Sim cards into the device & they work but not one Verizon Sim will.
