I bought a new One M8 from ATT last week, but didn't have them activate in the store, as I wanted to root it and install a ROM, and play around with at home for a week first, before making it my official phone.
I am coming from an ATT Galaxy S4. So today I am ready to my the M8 my phone now, but I feel like an idiot or a rookie, not knowing how do activate it I forgot that my S4 has the bigger SIM card, which doesn't fit in the M8, which has a tiny nano card. Well the nano card is in the M8 already, I just need to activate it, but really not sure how ?
I dialed "611#' on the M8 and it says something like the SIM card is not provisioned ? And then turning the card out, and putting it back in says " SIM not provisioned MM #2 "
I do have a little sticker that came in the HTC box from ATT has a bunch of serial numbers on it, etc...
Any help would be greatly appreciated here.
Thank you.
Just call AT&T. They will need to activate the new nano SIM. They'll want the IMEI from the phone and the SIM # from the nano I believe.

It does sound strange. Have tried switching between 2g and 3g to see if it makes any difference?

2g makes no diff, ill have to wait for a phone to use and call them, and then most likely get a new phone, then unroot mine yaya and so on lol.

If you are both T-Mob, then of course you are the same network. They don't build a new set of cell towers just for pre-paid. They just change the way they bill you.
ya need to get a new phone, went back to stock rom and still is messed up
called tmobile and it turned out to be my sim card was a older version and had switched networks too many times and couldnt connect anymore. took the one that came with the phone and got it setup and its all good again.

Well, if the memory on the SIM card is akin to flash memory, I guess it's possible.

Really? Totally believe you just dont see the logic behind it. Why would they make a sim card only be able to switch networks so many times? Makes no sense. The person you talked to probably just had no idea what they were talking about!
Pretty much every rewritabe non volatile memory technology out there has a limiter number of writes that can be performed on it before it fails. Maybe a SIM card will last for > 10 years. I don't know, I haven't been with a single provider long enough to find out. I can see where this was a logical hypothesis on the part of the rep, and since replacing the sim worked, where is the problem?

Currently on my 5th handset after having 4 replaced by warranty and 1 by repair and none will read my SIM card. Tried everything from other SIM cards to a new SIM card to restoring to factory settings etc. I appear to be the only person having this problem. The network I'm on is Talkmobile.

You are lucky. I had 7 same phones imported from Asia (I am in Europe) and none of them read my sim card. The phone were the grey version and all I can say is that in my 8th try from the same store I give up, took my money back and ordered a new one from another shop. This time I got the black version imported from Europe and my sim worked. There is nothing wrong with your sim. Just broken phones.

hello,
i have my unlock code from T mobile for my galaxy s3 T999 us version.but they tell me i need to insert a non t mobile Sim and then type my code when it tells me to.problem is i don't have a non t mobile Sim.is there any other way to type the code?
thanks
redthunda69 said:
Step 2 - We've got our code, time to enter it. To do this, we either boot up our phone with our AT&T micro SIM or dial "#7465625*638*# in the Phone app. Once you have the dialog box, enter in the unlock code from step 1.

you just go on tmobile .com and do a live chat and request your code.they will ask you for the phone number, model number, and imei number. then ask for a email then they put a request in and within a day you get a email with the code.

I am sure you have friends that have ATT? OR go to a store or WallyWorld and ask if you could get a att sim.
Or.. if you ask REALLY nice in the Wanted section. I am sure there is someone who downgraded to iPHAIL5 that has a spare micro sim. Since the new iPHAIL uses nano sim.

If you entered the code your probably unlocked. I would get the same response. Get a friends att sim card and put it in your phone to see if it works. That is how I tested mine. And it worked flawless.

I just got a htc one v from a friend of mine that was only used for about a month. It was locked to Koodo, so I took it to a place in the mall that charged me $50 to unlock it so I could use it with Virgin. The phone said it was unlocked, I even made a phone call and sent a txt. 30 mins later when I got home, the phone said Emergency calls only and now won't work.
Does anyone know whats going on and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

I'm sure there will be if the user base calls for it. Hasn't been made yet because the device technically doesn't launch until tomorrow on T-Mobile.
I'm curious if the T-Mo version will work flawlessly with AT&T. I've heard the Sprint and Verizon devices can be buggy.

The unlocked version should work flawlessly on AT&T already.
That it does but due to my wedding in three weeks followed by an expensive honeymoon, I lack the funds to purchase an unlocked one from anywhere other than BestBuy currently.
They say they'll eventually carry unlocked 10s, but really, who knows? They will have the T-Mo version though.

I just put in the Trans #, they require a scan of the receipt anyway, so I recon it's just to cross check.

Even with the unlocked version we still had to go through HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP. I am willing to bet that it will be the same with the T-Mobile version.
